hi all, about to take delivery of my 1st proper bike ,it,s a giant nrs 1 at 40% off the original price, my question is i believe it comes with tubless tyres, so how do they work is it the same as in car/motorbike tyres and what if i get a puncture how is this repaired 10 miles from home, if i carry a spare tube can i put this in as a "get me home method" or as i have a full bottle of slime (used in my motorbike days) can i use this

Carry a spare tube. They make a special version of Slime for "tubless" (sic) tires, but it's still a good idea to have a tube just in case.
The tires tend to fit really tight, too, so good idea to care tire levers; but be careful not to damage the bead since it needs to hold air when no tube is installed.
