Serious question, from someone w no skin in the game: what is the draw of tubeless for a road bike? I’ve been following this thread, and it just sounds like a pain in the @#$, with no clear benefit? I’ve punctured a few times in my life, and have been able to pull my wheel, patch the tube, bring it back to pressure, and be back on the road in 10-15 minutes. Good 23mm Conti tubes cost me about $6 each. What’s the lure?
Guess I could understand re: an MTB, running over rough terrain, and larger, low pressure tires, but everything you guys are describing sounds awful.
