all tubes for me, fat ones on the mtb, skinny ones on the roadie... and somewhere in the middle on the old ht which goes all over oxfordshire/warwickshire during the wek seeking interesting roads and byways... recent bridleway excursions have caused a number of issues.

Just about to switch over to Tubless. Got my Stans fluid and Tubless ready High roller up front with a mud x rear. Went to do the converstion and the rim tape on my DT swiis wheels are knackered.
Has anyone used the Joe rim strips. There about £18 a pair versus £40 for Stanns?

Dont yet trust my mech skills enough to go tubless without serious latex wearing possibilities ??) :B
Been running self sealing tubes for a year now though, apart from a pinch flat on the BBH steps, not had any punctures.
Changed over to my winter Mud X's this morning, took the Fire XC pros off had a check around the inside of them and amazingly found seven thorns in the front and another four in the rear :o
So they really work. They are a few grams heavier but a good compromise between std tubes and tubeless
