I very nearly got rid of my tubeless and went back to tubes. Kept on having issues especially my front wheel. Previously when I had tubes, I only had 1 punture in a year. With Tubeless, I had to bail out of even starting 2 rides as I couldn't keep air in the tire and had to pump my tyres up every weekend before a ride.

 

Then, when I took my bike in for a service I told the guy about the problems I was having and he suggested I change to a different system. Cost me R180, but its the best R180 I've spent. I haven't had a single issue since then. Same rim, same tyre, just a different tubless system. Very impressed with the shop.
