Jim -- well done, and a good find.  Some very useful information in there.  Detailed and very thorough.  Thanks for posting that.  It is most helpful.

As a aside, I had a bit of "incentive" to go tubeless during a ride last evening.  My front tire developed a leak during a ride.  Nothing drastic - just noticed it was mushy on my way back to the truck after exiting the forest.  Must have hit a big root and had a small pinch flat.  Slapped the pump on the valve to get enough air in to get me the last 2 km, and promptly snapped the valve stem right off.  #&@%!!!  Said more blue words, and changed the tube.  This was my first pinch flat in 15 years.  Not impressed.     Can I blame it on the Kendas? Had I been running tubeless, this would not have happened.
