Why you should be on tubeless

Tubeless tyres on mountain bikes have become the performance standard here in South Africa. We have some big camel thorns and some seriously sharp Karoo rock. The best way to get you and your bike through these African hazards is nothing! Thats right nothing, fresh air between your rim and your tyre! There are 3 solid reasons why you should ride tubeless rather than tubes. Firstly you will have less flats that's for sure and you definitely won't have any of those snakebite or pinch flats that tubes are prone too.Secondly performance, there is a reason why cars today are on tubeless tyres. Its because the tyre can perform the way it was designed to, and that's just what you need on your MTB. The last reason is because you will be able to save some more weight by ditching the tubes. So if you want to have less flats, save weight and go faster then get yourself a tubeless conversion otherwise just carry on plodding along.
