I run tubeless on my mountain bike, road bike and touring/gravel bike

It's great, no flats. I've had two tire failures on my road bike in 2 years and 10k miles. Sidewall blowout, nothing you can do.

As for adding Stans, if you have had a flat and used a CO2 cartridge to reinflate, it's a good idea to take the tire off and check inside. Stans is not CO2 compliant and can freeze and crystalize. If you haven't had any problems, I'd add an ounce at 3 months and at 1 year, take the tire off and reinstall with fresh sealant.

You don't mean on the same tires do you? ** -- HokieR 02/07/2021 1:47PM

Depends on how the bike is stored. You'll need to add more frequently if -- Hokie360 02/07/2021 12:35PM

Thanks. That helps. I use an injector and remove valve core ** -- HokieR 02/07/2021 1:42PM

I think its a bigger deal on mountain bikes. Tubeless lets you run lower -- Hokie360 02/07/2021 2:42PM

Heck, I never did anything for 15 years on my MB -- `lag 02/07/2021 10:57AM
