Tubeless would be interesting. I have thought about it, but I have to
find out more about it. From what I understand it is heavier than a
tube in most cases, but offers a liveliness like a sew-up. ...

Too many flats... here's one solution.
I could add more rubber, but I would rather have a lighter wheel.

Crank lengh advice needed please.
I have to say that 8.5 mph on a 24" MUni with 165's is impressive. I
