So what's the verdict for you Monkeys? Tubes or tubeless?

Toobz

UST & Stans - best combo ever.

 

[sanjuro]

I actually use all 3. Tubes are better for high pressure, Stan's works great otherwise, and I even have an UST Nevegal for more sidewall protection, although I run it with a tube.

 

[JRogers]

UST rims/tires with stans for regular trails. Tubes for road and DH.

 

[Westy]

When I was more of a weight weenie I prefered Stans. These days I prefer a full UST setup with Stan's sealant, more reliable.

 

[Arkayne]

I'm sold on tubeless. I run a Mavic/Hutchinson combo and can mount the tires with a bike pump. At the expense of a little Stans mess when changing tires, its worth the peace of mind.

 

[Zark]

Stan's rims and sealant on the trailbike with UST tires.

Stans's strips and sealant on the DH bike with UST tires.

Tubes are for sukkas, I'm so completely over sitting on the side of the trail fixing flats and Tubeless has been straight up amazing in that regard. NO MORE FLATS!!

 

[moff_quigley]

UST with Stan's goop = no flats in 5+ years.

 

[DirtyDog]

To clarify: UST + Stans = UST. In the poll "Stans" means the entire stans conversion kit.

stans because I'm too cheap to purchase a UST wheel set

 

[clayton_omer]

xtr rims with just stans and normal tires, takes a while to get them sealed up but if you get a large hole or tear a sidewall that the stans wont fix its much easier to put a tube in than a ust

 

[clayton_omer]

anybody used glitter in thier stans? i have heard of this making the sealing capabilities better

glitter to stans ratio?

 

[Wumpus]

Specialized airlock tube in the front and tubeless* in the rear on the FS. The other bikes are tubed(X-bike and SS).









*It's a maxxis strip w/ homebrewed latex.

 

[Serial Midget]

To further clarify - I wouldn't be using UST without Stans sealant.

To clarify: UST + Stans = UST. In the poll "Stans" means the entire stans conversion kit.

 

[SuspectDevice]

Every bike I currently ride has Notubes rims.
UST is not for me. Too heavy, too easy to burp.

Heck, even my road and 'cross bike have Notubes rims at the moment!

 

[ramjm_2000]

Used Stans and the Maxxis rimstrips, went back to tubes. Now that Ive moved to the midwest from the south/eastcoast Im considering going back due to tubeless goat heads. Anyone still use their Maxxis stips?
