Good report! I'm VERY close to giving up on my non-sealed 700C set up. My
ride was ended by goatheads today. Had to call in for support as I was
close enough to home to not want to change fix two flats in the blazing hot
100F sun.

If you do have removable valve cores, an oral medicine syringe (like you
get with cough syrup) works great as a sealant injector, and can be sourced
free from your local pharmacist (if you ask nicely).
I had bad luck with trying to get Pari-Motos to seal up tubeless, so now

True Joe,
My SL-23 rims are tubeless ready. They have a tighter fit than other rims.
So I don't recommend going tubeless unless your rims are made for tubeless.

Thanks, Joe. I'm thinking of putting Stans or Orange into the tube. I've
got Schwalbe tubes, and I think they have a removable core. Shouldn't be
too hard to put in some sealant. Downsides of that? Some added weight? :)

Where I have been riding...yes, that is a record. But I will reserve final
judgment until I get more more tubeless miles.

Is that like some kind of longevity record?

I log my miles with Ride With GPS and I use the same program to log
maintenance, including flats. Checking my records, I was averaging a flat
every 42.75 miles. I have now gone 65.6 miles without a flat and I am
riding the same thorn prone routes. If anything, I'm riding over more
thorns
IME, this depends on the pressure. Stan's in 622X28 tube at 60 psi =
invincible flat protection.
Stan's in 622X 50 tube at 20 psi = very vincible flat protection.
Stan's in 622X 50 tubeless Furious Fred = flat free paradise.

Oh, and once again: you don't need removable valve cores; and you don't
need injectors. Sealant works with non-removable cores (no, not through a
hole in the tube) and using the 2 oz bottle.
Ask me how I know.

Shoji,
From what I have read, putting the sealant in the tube is somewhat
effective in reducing flats, but it is not anywhere as good as going
tubeless because the thin inner tube just won't seal as well as a thicker
tire. Still worth trying, but don't expect a flat-free miracle.

For me, that would be a longevity record. (Almost.) Except when using
Stan's.
