granfondo Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Howzit Hubbers... I recently got a set of Shimano Ultegra tubeless rims for my road bike, but I'm still running them with tubes. Should I convert to tubeless? Why?
kosmonooit Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Lots has been said on this forum, do a search, in short: absolutely affirmative! No 1 reason is much fewer flats. But do it properly, with UST tyres, Stan's sealant rim tape

kosmonooit Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Take a look on Stan the Man's Notubes.com web site for some good videos as well. Best deals on typres & sealant is on-line, check CWC Edited December 30, 2011 by kosmonooit

I bought the wheels there (along with my Fondriest frame...) so perhaps I should come and talk to you about going tubeless? Edited December 30, 2011 by granfondo
