Oh yeah fine, don't get me wrong if you prefer tubes then go for it - I'm not some sort of evangelist. I just don't see cost of switching as a big factor given costs aren't dissimilar

The inner tube has been working pretty damn well for over a hundred years.
I realise this sounds very old man Tom of me and I can be a technophobe sometimes (mostly because marketing promises much more than tech can ever deliver in order to sell products - although that's another discussion entirely) but I consider it crucial.

It doesn't work for me. We can explain each others point of view til one of us expires but tubes cost me £2, sealant IS messy, and I've just had a catastrophic failure riding Gravel tyres tubeless for the first time. Why would I then try road?
