Use tubes in tubeless?
I found a great price on a pair tubeless tires. My spoke wheels probably
won't like them without tubes. Is there any reason not to use tubeless tires on spoke rims with tubes? These will be used mostly on roads, some trails, parks. No jumping, dropping, etc. Thanks. |

Pro's: if the casing is self healing then puncture resistance should be improved in relation to a regular casing and tube. Worth a whirl if the price is right. |

There are gajillions of cheap tubed tires out there; why go with these? |

It comes with rim strips with valves, and a bottle of sealant. Google "stan's no tubes". The main point is to be able to run stupid low pressures without pinches, but the regular flat prevention is pretty cool too. A bit of a PITA to set up, you'll really want an air compressor to seat the tire. |
