I am actually surprised by the weight difference
If you go with the Stan's system on standard rims with standard tires you obviously have the same weight tires but you have to run the strips and add the slime. Not sure what that weighs but I understood it to be comparable to what a tube weighs. This is what my wheel builder explained to me.
that weight difference in tire types alone is enough to make me not bother with tubelessness.
i have seen total mixed reviews of slime. so i hesitantly pose the question again. have any of you had what you believe to be any success with Slime in a regular tube?
thanks
