I'm still a bit undecided. In the past I've gone with tubes. They're easy to work with. However, I'm working on a new rough road "touring" bike,
And, quite worried about the old goats... Well, the goat heads.
Plus, my riding tends to be a lot of miles, so efficiency is a benefit.
So, I'm wanting to try tubeless. Just a bit divided about
:
- Compass Rat Trap Pass (regular or extra light)
- Schwalbe Fat Frank
- Schwalbe Big Apple
- Regular tube tires plus Panaracer FlatAway Tire Liners
Perhaps trying to mount the Schwalbes as tubeless.
Anyway, nothing is perfectly straight-forward.
And, yes, I'll have a spare pump, tubes, patch kit, sewing kit, and perhaps I'll carry a folding tire as a spare.
