+1, even on the trainer. Although right now I ride so infrequently that I actually need to pump up the tire before each ride. For the trainer I do the front only when it gets a little squishy.

Replaced my tubeless tires for the first time. I was prepared to be annoyed but this was easy, way too easy. Tires went on by hand, easily. No soap to seat the bead. Standard pump seated both tires right away with zero issues.
I have dealt with mtn bike tubeless for a while and this is way better.

If you don't pump your tubes before every ride don't go to Europe.

So he makes you steaks and beer, but doesn't offer you any dinnerware to eat it on?
