Some clarity might be in order. Joe's Simworks tires were not tubeless tires. I know cause I mounted them. They work for tubeless, but the tolerances are not as tight, so they leak air more.
I've left many tubeless tires fallow all winter and come back to very minimal pressure but an intact tire seal. Pumping a tubeless tire is no different than pumping a normal tire. If you can do one you can do the other. Schmidt hubs, besides the benefits mentioned, also have better bearings (50k mile warranty), a stiffer and stronger axle, thicker flanges, counter sunk spoke holes. They also CAN have a superior wire to hub connection in the form of a Coaxial adapter. SP hubs are fine, but if you meet any of the following criteria, consider Schmidt: Heavy rider, heavy loads, bad roads, big miles, bad weather...Sure looks count too. But there are practical advantages to a Schmidt hub that are not about finish. Having sold both Kasai and SP hubs, I'd say quality seems similar, but the Kasai hub body looks quite different in person. Maybe the guts are the same. -James / Analog Cycles / Tanglefoot Cycles / Discord Components / Fifth Season Canvas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
