techguy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Tyres only puncture when you ride over stuff that you're not supposed to... besides when a tyre goes flat its only flat at the bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted November 19, 2009 Share I use it and proud of it. The only hassles I've had was when I went all poncy and bought fancy smanshy Joes tubes that's filled with milk rather then sealant. I patched it, put in proper sealant and now it is perfect. Before that, 2 years without knowing about any punctures. The age old statement "why fix when not broken".

HomerSimpson Posted November 19, 2009 Share I'm guessing someone just went tubeless?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted November 19, 2009 Share The age old argument...tubes vs tubeless. Whatever floats your boat. Personally I will never use tubes again. I havent bought one in years and dont even carry a spare when I ride. To be honest I cant remember when last I punctured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow1 Posted November 19, 2009 Share going tubless for more than 2 years now on both mtb and road bikeseems like those still in the tube era are the cheap skates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted November 19, 2009 Share seems like those still in the tube era are the cheap skates Tubeless is costing me much less than running tubes. I use the same tyres, a conversion that cost me R10 and the same sealant I used in tubes. So I save the money I would have spent on tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasping Posted November 19, 2009 Share going tubless for more than 2 years now on both mtb and road bikeseems like those still in the tube era are the cheap skates We may be cheap skates, we may even be unemployed or just poor. Perhaps we have more than enough money to do whatever we want to do but our spending pattern does not elevate to your lofty levels. I bow to you and your spending. It is guys like you that keep our economy ticking over. Thanks. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought perhaps it was a demonstration of that lovely Afrikaans expression "die k@k sit wit", but I would rather make certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
