I see! Interesting. Tubeless scares me a bit and I don't have any compatible rims right now to try it but one day I must

I've been riding tubeless for a few years in all conditions.

Would never go back.

Only issues have been running out sealant and getting a flat.

Being able to just yeet the bike down awful roads is liberating. You don't worry about pinch flats and you don't worry about shaking yourself to death thanks to the lower pressures.

Not much to teach.

Just get decent tires and top up the sealant once in a while.

Use a tire pressure calculator and don't be alarmed if the pressure seems to low.

I have a dynaplug kit for punctures but have never used it.

It all just works.
