Man talk about some straight propaganda from the innertube sector. Jeeez
So obviously staged.

First time I made a little mess, though, mostly on cardboard which I just threw away along with some rubber gloves. Hardly a big deal for years of trouble free miles.

SolarBeaver said:TuBliss doesn't use any sealant, it's just regular air, isn't it a perfect solution then? And as far as I can understand you can run 0 psi on the outer "tube", and pitching an inner tube is not easy at all. Even if you do, you can probably have a regular tube with you in case the worst thing happens.
The main benefit is obv to run super low PSI though.
I don't know Chalo, looking at this picture, one could, (at least theoretically) conclude that some guys just get so excited about bike/ebikes that they make a mess on themselves. :lol:Chalo said:3DTOPO said:Chalo said:After you get your bike home and mop off all the corruption
You're delirious. That is all I have to say to you on the subject and done trying to reason with you.
Whatever you say.

You bring up a great point, there are more than one tubeless option out there, and some tubeless options are better than others.
SolarBeaver said:Hey, do any of you guys run 21/16 combo? I think with the linkage it should work just fine, and less spinning mass on the rear, also you can always switch to 19/16 with the stock front if you want more agility for some more demanding singletracks (same trick for 21/18'', but unfortunately you can't run Shinko 525 cheater and slightly more mass, but OTOH you can use TuBliss), and use the bigger wheel for more enduro-style riding.
It will probably look kinda funny though, so not sure if I I'm in
P.S.Having some second thoughts after ordering 21/18

You may have seen my post about my setup (10/6/20). I've been running 16/19 since a month or so before that. I still love the Shinko 525 cheater, and the geometry is fine. I also love being slightly lower, cause I have short legs.
I almost tried tubeless, but decided to stay with tubes and see how it went. I run 10 psi. In over a year, I've never had any type of flat. The beefier tires I use help a lot, and I only weigh 140, but another big factor is where/how you ride. Some places are just flat prone.
The main thing I wanted to note, in case you don't know - the 525 cheater is too wide for the standard swingarm, so it must be shaved (unless they have a new size that wasn't available a year ago... I'll find out when I buy a new one this Spring). Shaving was pretty easy, but makes a mess if you do it the way I did (with a table saw). I showed pics of it in my 10/6 post here:
