• Tubeless or latex tubes for cross?

    Tried a few summer league races so far this year and 100% record of pinch flats running 35-40psi with 33mm tyres and ~70kgs. What are the pros and cons? I only have a single wheelset so multiple wheels with multiple tyre options isn’t really an option.

    I don't know the courses you're running but I am 90kg and run 25-30psi depending on muddiness. Sounds like you may also need to look at line choices maybe?

    I have tried latex tubes. They feel better but patching them is a bitch so went back to butyl. Going tubeless this year for first time. Rode around the other day on 15psi for shits n giggles. Squirmy AF tho!

  • Patching latex tubes is fine, just use some cut up pieces of an old latex tube as patches.
