What ufd said. There's nothing wrong with tubes. Tubeless is a pain for street and DJ, and it's really hard to switch tires around.

EDIT: Just remember to use talc in your tubes and it'll feel a lot more supple.

Hookworms suck IMO. They're big and heavy. Holy Rollers are even better, but K-rads win because they actually roll.

ive thought of going tubeless also.. we typically run high pressure than DH guys too. i run about 45-50 at my local spot. dh guys are running 25psi tubeless with no probs.. less chance of burping with the higher pressure.

i love running around 70 psi in my street tires. rollls super fast, is super hard to hit the rim on big abubacus and failed air's out of half and quarter pipes. lets just say i have had 4 flats on my street bike in the past 2 years. 3 of those have been running tubes the other one i landed hella sideways on a 360 and rolled the tire off the rim. went to the compressor and was back again riding in 4 minutes
