Tubeless is supposed to be the “cure” for pinch flats. But pinch flats are physics’ way of telling you that your tire pressure is too low. Rim strikes are just a far more expensive version of physics talking you that you don’t have enough air in the tires. Would the ride qualities really suffer from putting just a few more psi of air in the tires?
