I&#39;ve never even ran tubeless nevermind hookless and the hate for hookless seems quite strong on YouTube - some saying it&#39;s just a scam (manufacturers saving money on tooling) and some saying they&#39;re fine for mtb and gravel bikes (wider, less pressure) but there&#39;s no good reason for road bikes with narrower tyres to be running them and even dangerous if over inflated or ran at high pressures. &#xA;&#xA;People will highlight the increased weight but I put Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour Smartguard tyres with inner tubes on my old mtb a few years ago and honestly never get punctures or have to worry about slime. &#xA;&#xA;What do other people run on road bikes? Tubeless? And take a repair kit and 16g Co2 can? Or prefer oldskool innertubes? &#xA;&#xA;#bikestr #bike  &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
