i'm not a huge proponent, but i feel like if you really get a lot of flats on the road, tubeless and good sealant might be the answer.

i have to admit, i recently built up a carbon bike and bought a set of wheels that came to me with brand new tires already set-up tubeless, and they are working out really, really well.
We always were the wall of silence in the bike shops when customers would ask "how many flat tires do you get?" We would just look at ea. other and shake our heads. Nope not talking about it...:-)

I too am back on a carbon bike with nice tubeless wheels but have yet to take the plunge. I may set up a different set first and see how it goes. Bike is pretty plush running 28's as is but I'm still remaining curious. I have a set of 28 Schwalbe Pro ones I got from a rep to give a try.
