basically I do not know why everyone makes a big deal about running sealant. I would run even on a full on UST set up. Why? it can seal gaping holes and let you finish with out ever stopping.

messy? it is but so are things in life. I just work on a concrete floor and wipe it up after I am done.

I wear out tires way to fast to be concerned with them being so often from the inside which BTW only happen on some tire brands.

the difference between tubeless and tubes is the difference between a sharp ski and a dull ski.

In all honesty i could have convertered a tire in as fast as some of these post have taken to make.


my new test is the no pedal test. Everyone I ride with who has gone on splats about how tubeless sucks I just ride downhill with no pedaling and tell them to do the same and see if they can hold my wheel. So far they all have not been able to do it why? well I may be a good rider but their tubes are holding them back.
