Bottom Line:
This is my first experience with tubeless. So far, so good. These tires have really improved my riding, I wish I'd made the switch earlier. They slowly leak, but my understanding is this is normal.
My only beef is the weight. If your tire weighs 800+ grams, SAY SO!!!!! Ugh, my bike gained almost a pound in the switch from tubed to tubeless.
