[MENTION=200675]chas58[/MENTION], heh, you list lots of downsides to tubeless, and you also say you don't know why more people don't do it. Those are the reasons I don't do it. I don't want to go through the trouble.

But I'm unusual. I have worked as a bike shop mechanic, so I've fixed thousands of flats. I could almost do it with my eyes closed. I don't buy puncture resistant tires. I just fix a flat when I get it, and it's no big deal.
