Sweet ride, Roberta! I know how much more my daughters love riding their lighter Clementines compared with their previous, much heavier kid's bikes or 90s Trek rebuilds. As an ogre who carries my bikepacking rig weighing up to 100 pounds as needed, I don't innately appreciate that need and easily forget it, until I am helping them get over rocks and roots on steep, technical bits I just consider normal. Grin. > > Like you, Roberta, I enjoy freely wandering topics, learning much from them. My 2.8" beefy tires on my GBW are the perfect case study for going tubeless, yet I do not. Why? I've yet to experience the need. Cross reference "big, dumb ogre." Grin. For me, the weight isn't a big deal. I get plenty of tire suppleness with a tube with the carefully chosen suppler tires I ride, and I still don't grasp how a field flat is addressed without mess and frustration. Arguably, the one flat I've gotten on "Beorn" was due to inner moving rub as it occured on the inside of the tube after months of riding. Still, for me, tubeless is a solution looking for a problem. Grin. I am delighted it is working for so many!
