I normally dont flat enough that for me, the tradeoff of dealing with sealant mess is not worth the benefits of tubeless. But if i can simplify the issue of dealing with tubeless flats, that may change the equation.



30mm is the nominal size or measured size?



I'll curse your name then, i guess... jokes apart, I've already been unhappy with tubeless a few times in the past year or so of trying it - but at the same, i also have to accept that 2 of my tubeless flats were sidewall cuts (which isnt a tubeless thing) and in one, the tire did seal but at a very low pressure that felt wobbly (this is the question i had asked in my other thread). I'm really digging the ride on my RapidAirs, though - enough to make me want to give this whole thing another go.
I weigh 190 lbs presently and with either Orange or Finish Line sealant I haven't any trouble at all with tubeless at 90 psi on 25 mm tires. I prefer Finish Line because it is longer lasting. Also the few times I have noticed a puncture (except on one occasion) I couldn't detect any pressure loss. And in one case I SAW the puncture since it sprayed sealant out of the front tire. The place I was going was a café that caters to cyclists and he keeps a pump outside. I checked the pressure and it hadn't lost any detectable pressure.
