But but what I can say for fact is that based on weight and "feeling in my hands", the regular clincher is lighter (by ~30g) and more supple than their tubeless version, and this is to be expected. But if you think about it, their tubeless version being 30g lighter is actually very impressive, my only question is how will they wear for a tubeless tire (because generally, if I were to go tubeless, I wouldn't want it to be tooooo light due to fasting wearing AND possibly not sealing as well).
For me, my thought process is the opposite - if i can run a lighter tire (like the Veloflex Corsa or most specifically, the Vittoria Corsa Speeds) tubeless and get better sealing in the event of small flats, that would be fantastic. I'd love to be able to use Corsa Speeds as my race tires.
The good thing is that the Veloflex tires are available at a pretty neat discount, so it's relatively low risk to pick up a pair and try out. Will order one as soon as i wear through the current tires on my Venge.
