I installed tubeless tires on the gravel bike to try and reduce the chances of a pinch flat. Well, the one thing that I forgot from when I was using them on road bikes is how much smoother they ride. And how much easier they are to put on and remove.

Using clincher tires on clincher rims is very easy as well but trying to run clinchers on tubeless wheels is very difficult. So while I have some clincher wheels most of them are tubeless.

At this point I am strongly considering returning to tubeless for the tubeless wheels and tires.

Any thoughts?
