Death in the mountains

Just be wary of the cost of Enve

ExtraNiceVeryExpensive

Oddly, My Aeolus 5's and Pro one's happily held air at around 6 bar without sealant.

But Keith makes his wheels to far more exacting standards than Amer do at Enve.....Obvs.....

I think you're forgetting the critical performance criteria here, which is Instagram likes.

This is very true.

At least as your life flashes before your eyes, your brain desperately searching for a previous experience that can get you out of this shredded carbon hell, at some point you will see these wheels dominating your #2017bestnine.

Which is some comfort at least

All being well I'll be riding these on my Talbot Frameworks Gravity Shadow

CP build thread?

I have ridden my Enve 3.4's with normal tubes and clincher tyres (because tubeless tyres on a road bike is totally pointless) in the high mountains with no issue whatsoever.

I keep thinking this thread is about Max Leonard's new book.

As you were.

Why would you choose to use inner tubes, and be subject to the issue of puncturing inner tubes, if you don't have to?

Choosing the more complex, less reliable system of the two available doesn't seem like the optimal course of action.

Ignoring the rolling resistance and weight aspects, also.

And potential for protracted, agonising death.

GP4000 win in both.

I looked at this again. There's less tyres out then you could have got in a former GDR shop.

More complex!?!
LOL.

1. Tyre plus tube plus tyre levers, spare tube, possibly a puncture repair kit, pump, requirement to use all of the above a couple of times per year

2. Tyre plus sealant plus pump. Requirement to use the pump every now and again.

I mean.. yeah. Think it'd be foolish to go out with no tube whatsoever though.

Let the man dream.

We should believe in the future that technology offers us.

Think it'd be foolish to go out with no tube whatsoever though.

My hubris knows no bounds:

Yeah - someone else might need the tube.

You're going to need a large glass of water.

Unless....

metal suppository?

It was going to be either you or Stefan for that comment.

Bollucks to that. My tubeless has been great, but I am still gonna take a tube.

I'm still waiting for that tough-to-seal puncture to test rubberized superglue on.

But yeah, I usually bring a tube if I'm going a long way.
