New road wheelset.Go tube or tubeless?

[raleighnut]

Tubeless everytime as the advantage far outweigh the disadvantages. But.....you do need to keep an eye on the sealant especially in hot weather.

This is what l found in my rear tyre yesterday, which explains why it felt out of balance! The sealant (Orange Seal Endurance) was fitted 4th March this year and has covered 1951.1 miles.

I would also 100% recommend fitting Fillmore valves. Yes they are on the expensive side, but IMHO worth every penny as zero issues now with valves blocking with congeled sealant!

Setting them up was quicker than i expected.The tyres weren't the easiest to get on the rims,in fact that was the longest part.Seated with the sealant in just using a track pump but it did need a high pressure.
First ride out today and came back without my back or rear of the bike covered in sealant !
