I’m struggling to understand the reason this thread was started. Is this an honest exploration into tubeless vs tubes? Is this helping weigh the risks/rewards of tubeless/tubed? I want to err on the side of charitable towards my fellow man, but I’ve read the original post several times and it comes off as...quarrelsome. So, I must be reading this wrong because the OP has appeared several times on the List and is a nice guy.
Far be it from us to ever argue about bicycles or components. If you don’t like tubeless, you get to stick with tubes. Analog Cycles favors tubeless, just like Rivendell favors steel and wool and Specialized favors carbon and electronic shifting. It’s what they like, it’s what they do, and it’s not a dig at anyone else. James presented a compelling viewpoint on why he favors tubeless, supported by a lot of Real World Experience. The Instagram video showed the whole process in steps, and even I understood it. There was no mess and a floor pump worked fine. Because of that, I’m willing to try it. Just like I was willing to try steel/upright/friction after Rivendell so eloquently gave their reasoning via their website/Blug. Cherry picking gets mean real fast, and it’s pretty easy for both sides to do it. But, if it’s an unbiased opinion you’re looking for, I’ll offer you mine when I try tubeless. I can think of no better candidate than me, with utter lack of mechanical skills and distaste for getting my hands dirty. Though I WILL say that I proudly own an air compressor THAT I WENT TO SEARS AND BOUGHT MYSELF and I love the thing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
