R1200GSA with tubeless TKC80s
After 250,000 miles on various BMWs with TKC80 tubeless tyres without a puncture I was bored one day and seeing as the back tyre needed changing I used an electric drill to puncture the tyre so I could test my skills with my virgin unused tubeless repair kit. At which stage I found it was a POS.
So if I'm riding a tubeless-equipped bike I now carry a 'Stop 'n Go' tyre plugger plus electric pump.
I never carried a spare tube or tyre levers/irons on a tubeless setup. My preference nowadays is for mousses—don't need to carry anything at all.
