  • if you like to go down the tubeless route? it would be a great way to drop some weight and pressure

    If you're using heavy clinchers tyres then your weight argument is valid but at the moment a race clincher and tube is still lighter .. Ultremo ZLX weighs 160g + latex tube 80g. The tubeless version weighs 290g + Stans 5g?

    As for lower pressure meaning lower rolling resistance, you can run standard clinchers (which are more supple than any tubless tyre I've handled) at lower pressures too and the risk of pinch flats as much it may be valid, in practice on the road, the value isn't nearly what it is in the dirt unless you're slaming potholes and kerbs on a regular basis.

    Also changing a flat if it doesn't seal is worse with tubless because of the bead ..
