Tubeless ain't easier, just more flat-proof and a little nicer riding. I
have two bikes set tubeless and like how they ride, but I'm fine with
trading effort up front in the garage to avoid fixing flats on the road
later on. If you don't flat much that effort and the cost of sealant may
not p
I find tubeless to be psychologically rewarding. Nothing better than riding
an overpass filed with glass residue throughout the bike lane with a "no
worries" attitude. Everything has a learning curve and once you've got that
down it's just topping off fluids as necessary.

Understood; it's not an epithet of reproach.

Similar to poser single speed (ride only one gear in the cassette) or poser
fixed (ride poser ss, but with the pedals always engaged), poser tubless is
putting the goop into the tube rather than going full on tubless.

William, I found poser tubless (goop in the tube) created hastle for me. Messy,
fussy, and a rarely get tharn flats, just occational pinch flats (which I
mostly avoid now) and 1-2x/year bigger gashes, which tubless can’t help with
anyway.

Thanks again, Patrick. I just chatted with a fellow bikepacker who is
building up his dream ride (Surly ECR) and he too heard good things re OS >
Stan's. He wants to go Rohloff, which I agreed was great. He might have
to go chain vs. Gates though. Take care,
Jeff

Jeff: I hope you find that OS works better. In a more recent post, just this
past Friday, I found ~200 gr of semi-dried OS lining the rear F Fred, with 2904
miles on the clock.

Patrick,
Thank you for your observations re: Stan's. I am really a noobie when it
comes to 'tubeless.' I had to get an education last year while building up
his/her Divide bikes (Salsa Fargo's). I went (of course) tubeless with
Stan's without any regard to other brands out there (my bad). W
Most of my tubeless experience is with Stan's. It's definitely not a bad
idea to remove some of the build up, but I wouldn't consider it vital,
especially after only 4 months--I'd just add sealant at that point. Maybe
once a year or so? For mountain bikers who often slash their tires on
rock
As I said earlier, my own experience with Stan's is that, when it dries, it
does form little rubber marbles or octopuses or boogers, what have you;
this both in tubes and in tires without tubes. In one tube, ridden for 12
to 18 months with Stan's added initially but not thereafter (sealant seems

Well, I am using Stan's, but tubeless. Any Stan's users to weight in here?
Thanks Nels, Phillip and Patrick.
