Oh, but now I'm curious, what's "old" and "new" tubeless? Is it like GP5000s with that big block bead?
hippy-
Yeah pretty much, the older tubeless haven’t really changed like the Gravel
King that still weep a bit and the bead is too stiff to really hook onto the rims that sealant are needed to block the gap.Modern tubeless made fitting a lots easier, I fit on average a couple or 4 tubeless a weeks, the latest stuff like the Vittoria whose carcass is well made that there’s zero weeping, instant hook on the rims with no air escaping, very supple as the sidewall are much softer yet still hold up well.
I have ridden Teravail Rampant for 6,000km inc. the B.C. logging road with tubeless, I had five punctures in its lifetime which is basically the tyres drop pressure a bit (felt slightly squirmy) then inflate again back to regular pressure.
Hence why I offer to send you a modern tubeless 650b tyres that aren’t made 5 years ago.
edscoble
Panaracer and WTB are old tubeless, they’re noticeably harder when compared to modern type (like Teravail which inflate and hold without sealant).
Would you like me to send you a modern 650b gravel tyres that easy to set up?
