I have not really found an internet article that explains what tubeless tyres are all about - there seems to be an assumption (probably correctly) that you should know the basic principles. However, my questions are probably even more basic, and if anyone can help, I'd be really grateful.
1) Can tubeless be used on any rims, with a bit of Stan's or any other similar product, or do you need special wheels?
2) Presumably, only tubeless-ready tyres can be used?
3) If a tubeless tyre gets a puncture, how easy is it to repair? Is there a trail fix, or do you need to lob in an inner to get back home and apply a more robust patch?
4) What are the advantages - to me, it seems like: fewer pinch flats allowing lower pressures to be run, less weight? (I currently use Slime inners which seem heavy)
If anyone can point me to a beginner's article on all of this, or better still provide some first hand experiences/advice, brilliant.
Cheers
