I've been away from the forums for a while, so I've been a little out of date in terms of the latest light weight race tires. After some searching and reading many posts, it seems the RK 2.2 SS are a nice choice for racing.
I'm not a hard-core weight weenie, but it is very important for me to keep things light within reason - especially if I can get high volume, low RR, light and good traction, then I'm willing to give these a try.
There is a huge thread on these tires that I can't seem to open, so forgive me if this has been addressed. I'd like to run these tubeless, but people seem to have major issues with sealing them, so I'm considering using latex tubes instead. I haven't used tubes in a very long time, so I'm looking for people's experience using these tires with latex tubes?
Will these tires feel inferior with tubes and am I running a huge risk with pinch flats as these tires need low psi to perform well?
