Nice video on how to fix sidewall damage and a flat. Been riding 50 years but still haven't moved over to tubeless. Always carry 2 tubes and a patch kit along with a Zephal frame pump. Yes I know it's old school but I've always made it home under my own power.

Kudos to you George and Jess for helping this dude.. 👍👍🚴‍♀️🚴🏻I know I’m a dinosaur but I love skewers, tubes, rim brakes, manual pumps.. all just works.. 😊 just my opinion.. Pete 🚴🏻👍🚴‍♀️😊

This is why I've gone back to tubes, what a mess having to deal with this sort of thing during a ride. Can't even imagine what it's like for those who are running some sort of tire insert.

Great video, I think this is the first time on KZfaq I’ve seen a realistic puncture situation. I wish I had seen this when I started cycling. Thanks

Much love, this is why I love cycling and the community. Always someone there to lend a helping hand, just remember to pay it forward. Loved what you did for Charlie and I'm now a subscriber.

And this is why I don’t go tubeless, because you end up carrying tubes anyway and the repair is the same. Except one set of tyres are harder to fit, more expensive and you get covered in glue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great ambassador to the cycling community; great job George! 🚴🏻‍♂️

Rim brakes & inner tubes are a golden combination.

And THAT'S why I'm still running tubes!

Well done George and the Cycling Community, have a great weekend!

I double punctured once when I ran over a small 4" long piece of angle iron. It must have fallen from someone hauling scrap because the road was clean except for that one thing. Weird. But anyway I was also tubeless back then. Lucky for me the leaks sealed once the pressure got low enough. I added air and the holes started leaking again down to that point the sealant would work again, probably 20psi. So I had to ride about 5 or 6 miles to get back to base and I could only travel at about 5 miles an hour or my rims would bottom out plus I had to keep my weight evened out on the bike so as not to put too much weight on one wheel. I made it but I think that was the last time I used tubeless setups. Before that I never had a puncture the sealant would fix. Now I always carry 3 TPU tubes and a frame pump. That guy was lucky he had people to help, I usually don't have anyone because I rarely see other cyclists out on the roads I like to ride. You're a good man George, you didn't even say any bad words when you got that goo all over yourself. Thanks for the video.

Clinchers back in the that had slashes we use to put dollar bills in it between the tube. It still bulged but it got us home.

I want to share this with everyone! 😂

Great educational video! Good on you for sorting the guys out.

Park Tool VP-1 has never let me down :D

Wow, two flats. I do carry tubes/patch kit and pump. I do ride tubeless❤ Great team work for helping a fellow rider😊

This is the video to put you off a tubeless setup.

What horrible luck to double flat on fresh sealant! 😞 Great job coming to Charlie's rescue!

Man, I cringe thinking about that sealant contaminating the disk rotors. This somehow reminds me of Dr Seuss’s Cat in the Hat, when they were fighting the stain on the bath tub that eventually filled up the whole snow around the house.

Spare tubes are a must, also check your repair kit is on bike and works well. Practice with it at home so you don't fail on the trail.

The cause of sidwall holes in the sidewalls is usually a puffing racing tyre . Well, and racing wheels have very thin sidewalls. Which should have been replaced a long time ago. To avoid such problems, it is best to use training tires that are more durable for training.

4 years on road tubeless, 1 puncutre sealed fine, other used a plug but decided to return to tubes this year TPU not butyl as setting up tubeless was my biggest headache, not inflating then having to remove everyting change the tape and then got it working

I quit tubeless on my Ritchey Road logic, the tires do not have a lot of meat to hold the plug. My 2 sats

tubeless on road sucks messy AF

What a mess I can't imagine. Do you recall what brand of tire he was using? I double flatted once while racing a training crit, a long time ago. I flatted two weeks ago at the end of my road the day before an event. I picked up a sharp rock that cut the tread sideways. My Topeak mini pump with gauge saved the day, I also had two tubes.

It has happened to me once on a race tyre and never on a training tyre.I don't like racing tires too quickly they prune and are replaceable, They are also very expensive.

What a mess. That's why I would never go road tubeless

What an absolutely awesome video. How did he triple flat though? 😂

Tubeless what a mess, not for me stuff that.

You want to have a lighter wheel? Go TPU tubes. Heck it's even easier to carry spares with them.

Blown tubes on the climb due to elevation gain with air pressure changes and rougher pavement in the past above the village. Baldy Rd is a fast easy descent down to the IE, but slow dangerous climb to village with the tunnels with cars going to fast on mostly straight road. GMR-GRR better for the climb to village for riding. Did you go to the ski lifts or notch via dirt road?

🙏⚔️🇺🇸 good job brother save the day pedal on 🚴💪

Is one tube enough for a backup when riding tubeless? Two flats is pretty unusual.

I don't carry tubes either. Dynaplugs all day. MucOff failed him.

I went tubeless 4 years ago. Very happy with my experiences. Works best on 30mm tires and wider. Lower pressures are friendlier with bacon strips and dynaplugs.

wow what a sticky mess, what a hassle, what a waste of material and time, and he and has to clean his bike completely, beginners are lost wiith tubeless, this ist not good => tubes forever☺

And that’s why everyone should ride Tpu

double cut wow that sucks!

Insanity

Oh man, I feel bad for both of you guys there. But, I know this sounds bad, but... Looking at Charlie I can say there is no way he should be riding tubeless. No experience, tires to narrow, probably to high of pressure and way to much sealant. All tells me he does not know what he's doing. Stick to tubes.

Instead of buying food how about just some good old fashioned cash to pay for the supplies that were donated to you!!!!

Too messy yuck.

Watching that mess im so glad I didn't take the "red pill " the industry pushes in an effort to sell "newer/better/latest/greatest ".
