Seriously, what is the point of these things? What problem do they solve and is it worth the extra maintenance hassles for non-racing riders?


The people that have discussed them here seem to think that they don't
get punctures, or if they do they are self-sealing.

I believe some tubeless are heavier then a good folding tire and tube
and they seem to require wheels made specifically for tubeless tires.
