Yes jppe, I too have debated going tubeless and I seem to review the debate about once a year but have yet to do it. My Big Reason is that the mess with the sealant is not only messy on installation, but has to be re-messed-with twice a year. Or maybe they've improved the messy bit and it's good for a lot longer now?

For me, and in a road context, the hassle still outweighs the benefits. I get very few flats but if I were more flat-prone I may have had to reverse my decision.

I think the debate is not yet over!
