  • Fair enough - I suppose it’s a caution borne out of experience of the awful roads by me - I’ve had a lot of unsealable punctures on the roads near me (from gashes to a bit of glass that wiggled around just enough to not seal).

    As a result I always caveat advice to go tubeless - for “proper” punctures (anything more serious than a pin prick or snakebite) tubeless can be a can of worms, and give people a sense of confidence that inner tube users don’t have (wisely).

    Granted it’s also down to tyre choice (you can pry my patched panaracers from my cold dead hands) but a tyre pissing sealant and air is much more of a hassle to deal with than an inner tube in my experience.







  • It looks like this is actually the most common “repairable” part on earbuds, which is a little peverse. Ifixit has a few models which have replaceable cells (usually they take hearing aid batteries). The case which in my limited technical ability would appear to be theoretically easier to fix, seems to be a sticking point.

    I guess that smooth lines and no screws is more important than keeping things going?

    My cheap set looks to be glued down, strangely.
