Some will vehemently disagree but I believe the "ability to run lower pressures with tubeless" claim is marketing B.S. First off, the pressures I see recommended are not in what I consider to be...

Thanks for the info. My old mtb has tubeless ready rims but I know they're not hookless. So for me I'd need some new rims or wheels in order to really get an advantage.

I'm asking myself the same question. I'm about 95% road and 5% mtb and a bit of a luddite with new technologies. So despite all the hoopla, both my mtb and road bikes still have tubes. I gather that...
