@mrsponz zero so far but I am around 500 miles on her thus far. The tubeless setup is supposed to eliminate minor punctures as the tire slime inside fills holes and hardens into a plug to avoid such demises. with the holiday and weather (currently sleeting) I just spin the tires every few days to keep the slime coating the tires. you need to reslime every 4-5 months and every 3rd slime you need to break down the wheel clean out the old slime and reset. I'll likely let the LBS take care of this as I hear online that the side walls are so stiff that they are near impossible to get off the wheel and as they are carbon wheels I do not want my DYI efforts to cost me 500 dollar for a broken wheel 🙂 

I also keep the bike in the house as the cold weather can effect the slime (plus I like the bike inside so I can stare at it with admiration)
