Whenever there is a post about

[Mud]

tubular tires, whether it is tubular vs clincher, glue vs tape, etc etc, riders seem to come out of the woodwork with comments, whether the comments are meaningful or not. I cannot wait to read what happens when/if there is someone on the forum riding or thinking about tubeless. :beer:

My little brother was getting a lot of flats on his recumbent so he tried a pair of tubeless tires on it. Ouch! A very hard and sloowww ride.

is not the same thing. Before I stopped MBing I ran non tubeless 475 gram tires with some of Stan's goo on CrossMax rims. Both tires were under 30 lbs and it worked very well. I am quite sure that road tires will be designed for high pressure as opposed to fat tires which usually max at 50 lbs. Technology advances, not always for the best. I am still trying to enjoy current technology and old technology (tubulars) and not worry about what may come down the pike. :)
