Doesn't seem to be consensus in the threads I've read debating the c24 clincher or tubeless. Same price but slight weight penalty for tl version.
Have some schwalbe ones I bought a while back, which I think a tubeless ready (or do you need to buy a special tubeless version?).
But, what really is the advantage? I don't get pinch punctures and very rarely puncture, and when I do it tends to be a nail or slash which I don't think sealant would fix anyway. I'd also worry about trying to put a tube in and getting covered in sealent.
This will be the fast bike for sport ifs and the like. I usually ride at 100psi (72-75kg)
Like it so far, I don't puncture much either but thought they'd catch the tiny ones I sometimes get and no pinch flats from pot holes or cattle grids.
65Kg and ride them about 80psi, 100 if I'm racing and I know the surface is smooth. And dry!
I'm not as convinced as I am for the mountain bike but so far they're working out alright, haven't needed to stick a tube in yet though...
Schwalbe Ones come in tubeless and nontubeless forms (hint - they say tubeless on the sidewall). I am running both, and to be honest, I didn't find them to be much of an improvement (on Ksyrium SLs). I just wanted to try them and have been pleased. The Tubeless version is heavier, but I found that they mounted and sealed without sealant (a first).
For my race bike, I prefer latex inner tubes to tubeless.
there are plenty of threads on this. Try it and see.
Safe, lower pressures = more comfort and grip. Less punctures. Bit more weight. For me it's obvious but then I've always thought 100 psi was a bad idea...
Feels better to me. 80-90 psi at 80kg.
I can't be bothered on my road bike. Run tubeless on my MTBs though.
On the road I run 28c tyres at about 85-90 psi (82kg), which seems good to me. Very rarely get punctures on the road so doesn't seem worth the hassle to go tubeless.
I've been a fan on the road. Commuting into Manchester I used to get lots of punctures because of the glass. Tubeless was the fast alternative to running horrible touch touring tyres.
I don't weight much and I find lower pressures make a big difference on the road bike. I don't really want to go back to tubes to be honest.
If your Ones are the tubeless version then you probably have the decision already made for you.
