  • Have left MTB and 650x47 gravel bike tubeless for now but everything 40c and below back on tubes.

    I've always said road tubeless is dumb. This is what I'm talking about. This is the gravel thread. Low pressure, big tyres, rocks and shit. I'm looking to replace the 650Bx47 spare tube with a smaller one, that's all. If I wanted to ditch TL already I'd have fucking done it after the 700x50 debacle or the the WTB swap install or you get the idea.

  • To be fair 2 of these failures were on 42c “gravel” tyres, other 2 on 38c “gravel” tyres, just happened to be in between “gravel” when they happened - 2 I think were bits of gravel that got pushed through by the tarmac. Ultimately they didn’t seal, although muc off did a much better job of trying than orange endurance.

    What I found annoying was that even after a few days the sealant wasn’t set, was expecting a rubberised glue type result.

    how low pressure you running?

    Maxxis super lite tube an option?

    I'm running bigger tyres than that on the road. I'm running mid-30 psi. I ran them (accidentally) below 20 psi and didn't even notice until I basically folded the tyre cornering way too hard after missing a turn.

    Lightweight tubes >>>
