Worst possible advert for tubeless
It's not just tubeless, there's a long and dishonourable tradition of the cycle industry just winging it with tech which is either not ready at all or can't be done reliably at a price and weight cyclists will tolerate. Fortunately, cyclists are more than happy to tolerate marginal reliability in exchange for higher cycling performance.
There is a tubeless solution which works, but it's more expensive and heavier than the ghetto solutions on offer. Road bike tyre pressures are nothing that isn't dealt with perfectly well every day on HGVs and aircraft landing gear.

Should rename this 'Worst possible advert for tubeless thread'.
