these tubs simply excell so why not use them,
I puncture MTB tyres a fair bit. But as I'm sending Stan's kids to college I just keep riding :)
I've never seen anyone on MTB tubulars in the wild. I remember seeing them at the designed to win exhibit and being blown away. These were 26" mind.
I bet they ride so well.

I am not a pro. The geax saguro tubulars 29x2.0" i have mounted to one mtb are the best mtb tyres i have ever tried. The rear has about 3000km on it and has never punctured. I punctured the front once but pitstop sealed it. Then i pinched flatted that tub 30 miles from home so i rode home on a flat tub. The rim (carbon) was fine, even managed about 12mph average. The replacement geax tub is doing sterling service. The dugast tubs are similarly good. All the tubeless mtb tyres i have tried are o.k but these tubs simply excell so why not use them, especially when you can ride on a flat one with no bother. Been using the geax tubs for years got a couple of 26" tyres, i used those when i rode 26" wheeled bikes. They also never punctured.
Just waiting on a set of dugasts new enrst ori tubulars. I have a pair on order due in march though. These are tubeless tubular mtb tyres. Thats the holy grail. They need to make a road version now.
