Road tubeless curious

[Dropped_Chain]

Love tubeless. Only flat in 3 years is when I let the sealant dry out. Conti 5000 str size 32. Fast and comfortable. I couldn’t imagine going back to tubes.

What’s the internal width on the wheels sporting the 32mm GP5K TRs tires? How wide do the tires measure when inflated?

Good question. They are 25 mm internal hookless rims and the measured width is 33.5

That is the rub for me; it doesn’t guarantee defeat of all flats. I set up our two road bikes and one TT bike as tubeless and for the most part it works. Have all the great stories such as pulling a large nail out, spinning the wheel, a quick top up of pressure and no further issues. But occasionally we get a hole that won’t seal and if that is when I am not in the mood to deal with sealant, it stays with a tube for a few weeks/months.
Then I start again.
