More helpfully, might I suggest that you pick up some tubes with
removable valve cores and inject some Stan's sealant into them? I've
done this with my Mukluk because the tubes are $17 apiece(!) and fat
bikes are tricky to set up tubeless (I hear--haven 't tried it) I
don't know if it's helping
You might want to check with country bikes they still have a few Sam's
with a single top tube www.countrybikeshop.com/ or Mountain sports Ltd

I have a 56 Sam and love it...You are making the right choice..

Yo David,
Have you considered Foss tubes?
I'm running them on my riv on streets, my rear JB is getting real thin, has
lots of miles on it.
I'm starting to think that the Foss things help.
I know goat heads are an entirely different spawn
of the devil, lived around them for a number of years
Big Apples are more resistant to goatheads than any other tire I've used;
they are not proof against them but they are something like, roughly, 1:4
for Paselas. On dirt I've ridden through goathead patches without being
scathed, tho' on pavement thorns will eventually be driven in past the belt.
Now that's the kind of question we need on the list right now!
The Atlantis came about around 1999 as Rivendell's Japanese-built version of
their legendary All-rounder. The all-rounder is/was a bike-style designed to
work well in the following ways:
as a road bike for people not set on racing
FWIW, you can get sealant past the core on Presta valves not designed for
this by twisting the locknut off with pliers, letting the core drop into
the tube, putting in the sealant, then fish around for the core and work it
back up to the valve stem and force the locknut back on with the pliers.
Correction/clarification: The Atlantis does now succeed in achieving the 2-inch
tire clearance. Maybe more, I'm not sure.

I had pretty good luck with a slit (more like a tear) and re-sealing.
Did that w/ the kids' bikes Slime. The prob. w/ Stans or other
