I think the argument James is presenting applies to folks like me, a 57yo guy who's been riding tubed tires for decades and knows what the deal is with them. As I've expressed before (probably in this thread, definitely on this forum), I struggled to figure out tubeless tires on a bike I owned and kinda threw in the towel..tubes work and I understand them.
But the reality is tubeless has weight and tire advantages that are noticeable on a ride, it's not something arcane like buying a rear derailer with a few grams knocked off. So I watched the Analog live thing on Instagram yesterday and learned a bunch. What was more interesting to me than the project itself was how easy it was for folks with no tire changing/mounting experience to follow. I could "see" them not having to unlearn stuff I know so they could learn a new thing, they just got the new thing as though that's the way it works. It helped a LOT for me to watch it from their POV. I thing tubeless makes sense, even if some folks are happy with their tubes. I like friction and indexing, too 😉 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
