A simple slide guide to tubeless and hookless

My old Silca pump was reading 8psi higher than actual, so it got the tiny 0-160 gauge replaced with a much larger 0-100 model. I also check a new pump against my gauge standard.

As for why hookless, it's most likely to reduce scrapped rims due to hook defects and to simplify the molds.

So, to save the manufacturer money? Not trying to argue but 40 plus posts about this 'new' rim tech. I'm never going to sell, use, repair any tubeless regardless of hooks or non....I'm a tubular kinda guy and not gonna change. I've built a few hookless carbon rimmed wheel sets...seems the same as 'hooked', same $..Same build

Just don't get it..

For the OP..pretty sure the 'guide' was a help in using these 'new' type rims w/o
having a blowout or something...Not a pitch for hookless...

Seems odd tho than the wheel and bike 'big boys' would jump onto this bandwagon w/o decent new customer training of the many pitfalls of hookless...Gotta have their lawyers squirming some.
