What is the point of tubeless tires?
Seriously, what is the point of these things? What problem do they solve and is it worth the extra maintenance hassles for non-racing riders?

You can run lower pressures without the chance of a pinchflat, there is nothing to pinch. This can be usefull off road when you want lower pressure for traction. Otherwise they don't solve any problem IMHO. Personally I can't be bothered with the hassle. Lou |

You wouldn't really be driving a Model-T rather than a 7-series would you? All my cars are 1965. No safety, no chinese electronics, no EPA, no nuffin'. Model T are a real handful but I would certainly choose a Model A over a BMW7 any day. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

It's interesting to me that he says his pickup is worth less than a coupe, etc. Supposedly, to fit the pickup bed, Ford made the cab smaller. Big guys don't fit in the driver's seat, so the market for them is a bit less. I can vouch for the fact that the seating is tight. -- - Frank Krygowski |
