utegra tubeless a good upgrade?
Can you folks chime in and either from experience or reading somewhere etc tell me why or why not I should not get Shimano Ultegra Tubeless wheels over my stock Fulcrum Racing 6's I have on my 2011 Roubaix SL2? I have heard some mixed things btu am hoping the educated folk can sway me one way or the other, or for that matter should I still upgrade but not to tubeless for some reason?
Things I have heard that may or may not be true...
1. tubeless will be lighter
2. tubeless will almost eliminate flats (which I do not get a lot of now)
3. tubeless are not as strong (i fluctuate my weight between when I am fat around 205, and when i am in shape around 185-190)
4. rolling resistance will be decreased due to tubeless
5. better tires associated with tubeless will help a lot
