Such different experiences.
Having had to insert an inner tube and a temporary boot a couple of times due to big slices, I've never had the slightest adhesion of tube to tire. And yes, it is a messy drag to do roadside or in the woods but the number of lesser flats avoided is astounding. |

I don't run tubeless, but it seems people make a big deal about sealant spraying all over the place when there is a large cut.
Why is this a problem? Is it hard to clean off the frame, components, clothing? I assume it doesn't happen very often. |

If you have rim brakes, a rear tire leak can spray sealant into the nooks and crannies of your rear brake. That's kind of a pain to clean.

It's not hard to clean off a painted frame. Not as easy as wiping off dust, but not hard. Clothing, thats a different story. I'd recommend using the same clothes when setting up tubeless tires as when you're changing oil. If it gets on the clothes, it's probably not coming out. So if it happens when you're riding, your kit might have some new, permanent, stains on it.

I've also had one blowout and a couple of smaller holes that sprayed as the fill. The frame gets hit, maybe my legs, but that's it. Never noticed stains on my socks. It would peel off the shoes. |

Is 2014 early for sealant? I thought it had been around for quite some time at that point. |
