Default So Long Tubulars?

The hassle factor is easy to observe. The performance benefit, if there is one, is unidentifiable.

I work in a bike shop. I've seen long struggles to seat a tubeless tire, and plenty of puddles of yogurty spoo on the floor. I've seen my coworkers give up, because a tire won't seat evenly after all their efforts. I won't do tubeless tire jobs.

I think that whoever chooses tubeless tires should handle his own maintenance. Otherwise, it's very much like ****ting your own pants on purpose and then hiring a professional to deal with the mess.
