Couldn't get the tire to hold more than 60 lbs. despite having good sealant, and the mechanical support for tubeless back then (2014) was not good. Ended up putting a Gatorskin on the wheel. Man. Was the ride slow and harsh. I could not help thinking about all the people on BF who rave about them and them reminded myself that some people love Ragu and Prego pasta sauces.
Just pointing out that it is quite possible to love making your own pasta sauce and riding gatorskins without suffering from cognitive dissonance,
