Tubeless makes a ton of sense for everyone on mountain bikes and gravel bikes. No more pinch flats. Small leaks repair themselves. I'm not gonna argue they let you run lower pressure than standard tubed set-ups. You're going to run the same pressure regardless. You are just much less likely to flat with the tubeless. There is a small learning curve with setting up and repairing on trail, but the same can be said for tubes. You may take it for granted, but others riding a bike for the first time are intimated with even changing a tube. You need a good CO2 inflator to guarantee the rim re-sets on the trail. Carry one tube for safety sake in case it doesn't or the tire gets wrecked. In regards to checking fluid: between replacing/changing tires and fixing the occasional flat, you don't need to do this more than once a year. Its also as simple as popping off the bead, taking a look, and adding if needed. I don't measure shit, just wing it using vision and the measurements built into the side of the sealant container.Originally Posted by csmutty
Doesn't really matter for road. It is better for comfort because you can run lower pressures, but unless you get some slick rolling tires (usually expensive and not heavy duty) you are going to add a ton of resistance.
