Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

Tubeless ain't easier, just more flat-proof and a little nicer riding. I have two bikes set tubeless and like how they ride, but I'm fine with trading effort up front in the garage to avoid fixing flats on the road later on. If you don't flat much that effort and the cost of sealant may not

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

Similar to poser single speed (ride only one gear in the cassette) or poser fixed (ride poser ss, but with the pedals always engaged), poser tubless is putting the goop into the tube rather than going full on tubless. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are

William, I found poser tubless (goop in the tube) created hastle for me. Messy, fussy, and a rarely get tharn flats, just occational pinch flats (which I mostly avoid now) and 1-2x/year bigger gashes, which tubless can’t help with anyway. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

If you don't care about tire and tube weight and ride quality, it won't help you much. I found that Big Apples, tubed, shrugged off most goatheads, especially on dirt. If you are likely to get large punctures, then sealant will cause problems because it will not seal them, and if in tubes, will

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

I’ve been thinking about converting to tubeless as well (both my rims and tires are compatible) but have been scared away by their new-fangledness and reputation for being fussy. I already have pretty good luck with my tubes, very rarely a puncture flat but I have had pinch flats when running

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

Thanks again, Patrick. I just chatted with a fellow bikepacker who is building up his dream ride (Surly ECR) and he too heard good things re OS > Stan's. He wants to go Rohloff, which I agreed was great. He might have to go chain vs. Gates though. Take care, Jeff On Sunday, January 14,

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

Jeff: I hope you find that OS works better. In a more recent post, just this past Friday, I found ~200 gr of semi-dried OS lining the rear F Fred, with 2904 miles on the clock. Patrick Moore iPhone > On Jan 12, 2018, at 9:29 AM, Jeffrey Arita wrote: > > Patrick, > >

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

Patrick, Thank you for your observations re: Stan's. I am really a noobie when it comes to 'tubeless.' I had to get an education last year while building up his/her Divide bikes (Salsa Fargo's). I went (of course) tubeless with Stan's without any regard to other brands out there (my bad).

Re: [RBW] Re: Tubeless Maintenance

As I said earlier, my own experience with Stan's is that, when it dries, it does form little rubber marbles or octopuses or boogers, what have you; this both in tubes and in tires without tubes. In one tube, ridden for 12 to 18 months with Stan's added initially but not thereafter (sealant seems
