None of this is any different than any other tubeless setup. The problem with road tubeless set ups is that the tire pressures are generally much higher than on gravel or mountain tires. This means the sealant is less likely to seal the puncture before a significant amount of air is lost. Secondly, most sealant does not work well with CO2 inflation systems and when you are on the road with a mini pump, it is much harder to get the optimal higher pressures that the road tires require. There are a few sealants that work "OK" with CO2 and you should have pointed that out in your video so that viewers will know they need to be careful about sealant choice for this one reason. Finally, the only major benefit to tubeless is that it allows the rider to use lower tire pressures for increase grip and eliminating pinch flats. Since neither of these are issues with tarmac riding, the two most important reasons for going tubeless in the first place don't apply. I run tubeless on my gravel and mountain bikes but the tube is still the best option for road.
We appreciate the feedback. There are many considerations to take in before deciding if road tubeless is for you and we understand that it is not for everyone. Riding in Northern California we encounter many less-than-fair roads where the lower pressures allowed by tubeless have a tremendous benefit. We do intend to expand into the details of road tubeless in the future; but just like riding, we have to take one pedal stroke at a time.
