If you wanna run tubeless, buy tubeless tires. If you wanna run tubes, buy clinchers. The clinchers will be cheaper to boot.
Augh, I should have asked this question of you all before buying the tires and installing them with the tubes. Well, I'm testing them out on the C&O this weekend with tubes and will make a decision afterwards on keeping tubes or removing. sigh, the Sub Cross is a heavy bike anyhow...But only paid $73 for both tires
