Meput: I never let lack of knowledge restrain my posting, so feel free to post away. I'm curious though, do you use Stan's in your tubeless mtn bike tires?  What about Stan's in your car tires?  I'm skeptical of the value of comparing car and bike tires. But I also remember a time when car tubeless were much more prone to flats and tubeless plugs.

What is your opinion of road tubeless??

Lynn's Bike - 8 year old GT Titanium frame, Dura-Ace components, Zipp 404 carbon clincher wheels, Michelin or Continental 4000s tires.

Slight! Correction.
My bike is 15 years old at least. Still working, a little worse for wear looking.

Meput, you are absolutely right. Technology has progressed and tubulars on road bikes may be light years ahead of the old sew ups.
I should be open, because yours truly NEVER LEARNED TO CHANGE HER OWN G*d D*mn tires!
Sad, but true. Especially with the clinchers. And certain men in my life tried their best!

Tubless road tires might be in the future. And you ARE a lucky man to get such a spiffy set of rims.
