I admit that tubeless has its place, but I am in no rush to drink the kool aid sealant.
Latex tubes in the summer wheels and butyl in the off-season wheels.

We have a Rivian plant in Normal, IL about 30 miles due east of us. I assume that’s why I see a lot of them on the road.
Also, I vote no on the lights.

I might try it when my current supply of OS runs out.

Michelin has been working on an airless tire for cars. Maybe on day bikes. Perfect for crashpilot.
