If you tend to ride in thorny areas, get pinch flats, or want to ride at
low pressure, yes it does.Quoted message said:2. Is the "Stan's" system any good?
Been using it for a year. I had one failure on a gravel road. A very
sharp piece of gravel tour a knobby off the tire. Once there's a whole
in the tire that big, you are SOL. Other than that, I have never gotten
a flat.Quoted message said:3. Has anybody used this system on WTB Speed Disc Rims?
No, but I don't see why you couldn't. I use it on American Classic
rims, which are very light.Quoted message said:4. How well do they really hold air.
As good as a tube (without a hole, of course).
Quoted message said:5. notubes.com recommends not using CO2....that sucks. (this is a
comment and not a question)It causes the latex to freeze. Once it does that, you've altered the
chemical compound and made it less effective.Quoted message said:
Although I've never flatted on my current tubed tires, I'm thinking
about giving tubeless a try.Go for it but remember to carry a tube with you, just in case.
Thanks for the info,
Bill
