What is the point of tubeless tires?
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?

You can run lower pressures without the chance of a pinchflat, there is nothing to pinch. This can be usefull off road when you want lower pressure for traction. Otherwise they don't solve any problem IMHO. Personally I can't be bothered with the hassle. Lou |

The Ethos of Sales: "The crap we sold you last year is no good. Here's the new one." Dude, are you planning your own commercial demise? Get on board! As TK points out, if you live in goathead-ville, tubeless is great, and RR is better than slime-filled tubes in armored tires. Joerg should go tubeless, and in the MTB world, tubeless is king. I get enough plumbing and goopy fluids with Shimano hydraulic discs and probably will pass on tubeless, but OTOH, riding in rain and having little pieces of glass fret through my tires gets old, and tubeless might be just what I need. Next year -- or maybe the year after that. -- Jay Beattie. |

Model T are a real handful but I would certainly choose a Model A over a BMW7 any day. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
