I’ve never used tubeless, is it still possible to put a tube in like a regular clincher if you get a flat?

I am considering switching as some people say they result in less flats and I have terrible luck with flats.


I'm still on tubed (latex) clincher tires (Conti GP5000's)

In the past 10 years and a moderate amount of riding, I have had only 2 instances of double flats where when the one spare butyl tube and CO2 I do have with is used, and I am SOL! In one instance was a few years ago I did call my wife (she's also a reasonably serious rider - so understanding, and came and got me) the other was on a ride longer ride and I was about 10K from home, wife NOT available, I just called an Uber.

We each get 1 - 3 on-the-road flats in a typical year of riding. Make the change on the road, and just keep going!

For me (I'm cautious by nature and would rather be prepared for the sake of 50-100g of stuff on a ride, than have the embarrassment and shame of having to phone anyone to get a car ride home.)

- dynaplug racer (in the top tube bag and V quickly available if needed - sodall use if its buried).

+
- 2x CO2 cylinders + a small inflator valve.
Tyre lever (Pedro's, as they work).
- 2 butyl tubes.
- small multi-tool
All in a small under-the-saddle bag.

Why are Dynaplugs pricier than other stuff? I assume it's because they are USA made, by American tax paying adults, not cheap Asian stuff.
