Tubeless is basically set it and forget it. If I was traveling by bike
around the world I would use tubes only because I doubt you can get Stans
in some remote village in Vietnam. The less I have to think about my bike
the better. A maintence free bike is the way to go for me. It I had the $ I

Wow, this thread has been bringing the fightin' side of folks. Or is the
extended social distancing that is grating on nerves??? I've never tried
tubeless but am up for trying it soon.

About 25 years ago, I go so many flats and hated it! So, I just bought
solid core tires. No flats! The worst ride EVER!
Next pair of tires had a Kevlar insert in them. Much better. I've always
stressed the no flat, no matter how bad the ride tires. I'm glad to try a
better ride, too,
Tannus tire inserts are great for flat free riding w. tubes. A normal floor
pump works,no compressor needed to go tubeless. It helps if your tire and
rim are TLR. One layer of rim tape. Remove valve core,seat the tire,then
with soapy water around both sides where the rim and tire meet lather it

As long as each of you find a way to mount tires that satisfy your
needs..Just ride! TETO!
Is anyone will to propose riding tubeless rear and tubes in front 樂?

Nice! I like un-diplomatic Joe.
I'll play too:
For the same reason that friction shifting in the rear is stupid, lace up
shoes are stupid.
Friction shifting in the rear = easy
Index shifting in the rear = more easy
Tying my shoes = easy
Slipping on my shoes = more easy
Shouldn’t that emoji have a one finger salute?

I said: "I don't think anyone has to accept it as The Only Way, but it sure
appeals to me now that I feel I understand it."
Update because I'm feeling less diplomatic today: Tubeless is better, everyone
should use it. Also friction shifting the rear is stupid. Have a nice day ♂️

FWIW, Jan Heine, who certainly knows tires (but not goatheads!!) prefers
tubes. I don't know that he's right in saying that the "sloshing" of
sealant will slow the wheel; not in my experience; but sealant certainly
will add as much weight as a tube. I just patched a tube with sealant (yup,

I didn't read this as a contentious post at all, but as rather similar to
my own ruminations puzzling out if/why to go tubeless. For me the goop
thing is huge in the field. For others, no biggie. Now, if goat heads were
a bigger issue for me? That would change the result of the equation, as
I’m struggling to understand the reason this thread was started. Is this an
honest exploration into tubeless vs tubes? Is this helping weigh the
risks/rewards of tubeless/tubed? I want to err on the side of charitable
towards my fellow man, but I’ve read the original post several times and it
I'm going to cherry pick some things out of here
"... it can be really mess or it can be really clean."
This sort of comment doesn't really say much. What's typical, what's the
probability of it being "really clean", what's the probability of it being
"really mess"? Are there particular
Tom, you could ride around on granite tires and be fine. You're super fit
and probably think stumps make good pillows!
I hope to see you this summer, I'll start carving some new tires for you.

all this tubeless talk, fascinating, but cannot resist putting in my two
cents for the Luddite end of the spectrum. I have equipped my big ole MIT
atlantis with big ole heavy schwalbe marathon plus mtb tires, 2.25 inches,
and have spent months happily, flatlessly riding briary, brushy woodland
Both lists are missing rim prep, which is a few steps, but none of this is
about numbers, really.
Watch that tutorial, it can be really mess or it can be really clean. I'd
say on the whole, cleaning your chain is messier than setting up tubeless,
and you have to do it about 52 times more
" Now I can't quote anybody saying tubeless setup is trivial and as easy as
using tubes, but I feel like some proponents sort of imply something close to
that. Am I wrong?"
You're implying that "proponents" are implying this with no quotes to back up
your implication. What *I* got from James'
I'd add: hassle of a field flat with latex goop and tube (unless hauling a
compressor). I've dealt with goop in a tube and that was bad enough for me.
But I only get 2-4 flats a year.
With abandon,
