Removing the chain each time to clean it sounds like effort and unwanted maintenance issues...Old toothbrush and normal engine cleaner works wonders for a dirty chain

Get some rollers. No extra strain on any parts.

Ag lekker man...

That's more stock than my local bike shop

Wow.

No saddlebag ever! It is cooler to push/carry/run your bike to the finish. Especially on a road bike...

Who needs brakes on a road bike?

Keep your small children away from the tv!! Serious choking hazard...

It is the responsibility of the faster rider to pass when it is safe. Just like the cars responsibility to pass a cyclist/taxi/donkey cart when it is safe. Or just shout at the slower rider to keep left

Lavazza modo mio is awesome!

Or they cant see secunda...Too much pollution!

Pressures are just too high for tubeless. Sealant just gets sprayed all over

Awesome race! When they say its a rocky decent, they mean it! Feeling my body today...Shaken!

But welcome!

Smoking is bad for your health...

just received my lavazza modo mio premium machine...awesome cuppachinos!

Probably harder than with tubes. I had stans inside the tubes with the normal non ust crossmarks and then did the tubeless conversion with new crossmark lust tires. Had no problems at all and the lust tires are very comfortable and reliable. Then replaced the lust tires with normal foldables, but they were not nearly as comfortable as the lust ones. So I would recommend buying the lust version crossmarks to enjoy the full effect of tubeless wheels.

I had the foldable non ust versions. Not sure about the exact pressure, but the had to be VERY hard to avoid burping.

For the conversion, I only use stans yellow tape,valves and sealant. Done. No problems at all.

Just be carefull with the non lust crossmark tyres, as they seem to "burp" sealant when not inflated hard enough. Had them on for a single ride, but replaced them with lust versions as the ride was just too bumpy. I ride the lust versions at much lower pressure, with no burping at all, resuting in a more comfy ride...
