I’m running Dyads tubeless on my new Sam. Set them up with a double wrap of Gorilla tape. They seated about as easily as one could hope for when I set them up. So far so good! I have the ultralight Ultradynamico 42mm tires. Ran over some glass today and sealant started spraying all over from the rear tire. Stopped the leak with my finger and less than a minute later I was back up and riding. Made it home without needing to add more air to the tire.
