Yeah ....I get the advantages and think its cool that they came set up that way. Long view tho ? I havent had a flat since early may and that is about 1,000 miles riding. I am using Michelin power road front/power endurance rear and they have been great. I'm not worried that the new tires running 70 psi as opposed to 100 psi will be that much more likely to get pinch flats. I do see some hazards on my in own rides but I will see how it goes with tubes. Hopefully my luck will stay the same with the new bike. If not I am sure I can manage switching back to tubeless.
