fucking tubeless tyres and rims. Some utter bellend who thought the 2w rolling resistance saving and very occasional puncture protection was worth making all modern wheels and tyres impossible to seat and fit needs to be spoken with. GP4000s and Open pros take all of 3 seconds with no levers whereas whatever tubeless rims and tyres need the tyre to be put in the oven, the rim at the north pole then arms of steel and metal tyre levers to get the two even in the same room. then you puncture anyhow and are left with a tyre you can't remove, full of sealant and a valve you can't get out at the side of the road to put a tube in that should have fucking been there in the first fucking place. fuck that shit. I blame mountainbikers.
