Geax Saguaro

Well, my tubeless conversion experiment has come to an end. I've punctured two tires in the last two rides. The first was a Rampage on the front, sliced the sidewall at White Ranch. The second was a Geax Saguaro, punctured the tread on a tiny rock at Centennial Cone. This one was on the rear.

I think that I ride too "heavy" or something for tubeless on XC tires. Right now I guess I'll ride out the life of these tires using tubes and then maybe give some of the upcoming 2ply tires a try.

I do like the way tubeless tires ride, but the flats are a real PITA with goop spraying everywhere and then dirt getting glued to stuff while fixing the tire.
