I love the testing and data that Aerocoach put out there. I find it super interesting.

If I'm totally honest a 4W difference at 45km/hr (thin Butyl vs Latex) isn't going to make a difference to me, certainly not going to get me on any podiums, but I'm an aero / rr nerd so I chase these small gains. 😂

I have a pair of TL valve stems that came with the wheels, plus sealant that I use in my MTB. Might have to give it a go at some point. Haven't ventured into (road) tubeless yet!
