If that means I have to spend a few extra minutes to fix an unseated bead, that will be fine.  |
I was like you Dwayne, where I just didn't care for tubes either and did not install them in my tires. However, when I pull a tubeless tire off of a rim, I can't help but notice the corrosion that the moisture from the air has done over time to the rim, but when I pull a tire that has had a tube in it off of a rim, then I notice a significant difference in the corrosion level on the rim. So, I am leaning toward what Merk said and putting tubes in on all of my tires as I can afford to replace them for that reason. It is, of course, personal preference, but I just wanted to offer the corrosion level as input for a more informed decision. Life isn't about making the right choices, no one ever does....it's more about making the choices right for ourselves. So I certainly respect your decision to not put tubes in your tires.
