BX24 front tire flat

[fishpick]

Just a note to anyone who has ever pulled a tubeless off a rim - you are NOT doing it with conventional tools or approach with these R4 "Rim Guard" jobbies that ship on the front of the BX24... for as small and cute as they look - it takes 2 burly men in a John Deere garage to get it off.
Anyhow - they put in the tube I brought then - laughed at my little tire... and threatened to paint the wheel yellow!

I guess you could not have gotten by with the green fix a leak stuff (or a plug)?

negative on the slime - my luck would have it when it was rather low (not completly flat) when snow blowing - a stone from the gravel driveway snuck up and of course managed to get into the bead area... tube was the most painless way to go.
