Having recently splurged on a set of Mavic CrossMax XL's (I know, "boutique" wheels but I got a
pretty good deal), I'm tempted to take advantage of their UST tubelessness...uh, ness. (Not in a big
hurry, as running 'em with tubes and Mythos 2.1's is working fine for now, although I'd like to find
a fatter front tire one of these days.)
So who's got experience with UST's, and what do you recommend? I don't really want to spend $50 for
a 900-gram tire, BTW; prefer to keep 'em on the light side (and affordable would be nice, too
I've heard positive & negative about tubeless tires in general -- positive including lower pressures
and fewer flats; negative lousy selection, higher weight, more expense, etc. There seems to be a
truly different "feel" with tubeless -- or is it just imaginary?
