I've been running a Joe's No-flats tubeless conversion. Works very well and does what it says: no flats. However, don't kid yourself by lugging a spare tube around in case you get a catastrophic puncture. Only in the movies do you see a rider quickly whip the tyre off the rim, give the inside a wipe, pop a tube in and off he goes. I tried to remove a worn tyre yesterday, and I tell you it took me, the kids and the dog about half an hour to do the job. That stuff is worse than superglue. The tyre bead is solidly bonded to the Joe's rim strip. Once the seal is broken and air gets in, the sidewall bonds to the inside of the tyre. It's a bugger to separate. Was I doing something wrong?
