I’ve put in a decent ride home on a fully flat rear with CushCore. Trail plus road combined I guesstimated it out to just under 20km. It would have required patching a sidewall to put a tube in. It’s slower but reasonable.
My longest front run flat was just under 10km with a lot of it uphill but all on road. Cornering sucked but it was totally pedalable where normally a full-flat is not.
I’ve twice now seen riders coming down with insert-bandoliers dripping sealant and that certainly informs my insert choice (as rare an occurrence as it may be - I don’t want that to be me).

Yeah, it’s been a bizarre September. I know a couple of people who’ve almost been caught out without lights (bailed out to the road at the right time) because they’re not used to sunny September/October weather.
They’re taking lights on every ride now too. Certainly part of my inspiration to write this.
