Paddyb posted:The women's cyclocross worlds race was rad. Really fast on ice and brutal crashes everywhere. That was awesome. Haven't watched cyclocross in years. Is that type of course typical? It made me want to try it. I also like that you can see that they're working hard. Sometimes the road races just look too easy.

The point is tubeless requires a bead hook, and rim brake carbon clinchers aren't used because partly because they have a history of delamination on alpine descents. There are exceptions. I believe some neutral service wheels are clinchers. I also know some individual TTs have been run on clinchers because pan-flat stage.

What would be the advantage of Tubeless over tubs? I thought tubs were as good as it got I know little about this, genuine question

Yes, I realize you can technically fill tubs with sealant too, but latex inner tubes plus liquid latex can result in malformed tubes. Do the pros use sealant at all?. And while not a pro, I've never had any issues with malformed tubes from sealant. (I'm one of the silly ones using tubs on my commuter). I've looked at switching to tubeless, but since you seemingly require a compressor and/or CO2 cartridge to seat the tire, I can't see any advantages over tubs.

I have used a normal track pump to seat all my tubeless tires. Sometimes it takes a little more effort to get the beads to pop in with tubeless conversions, but with wide rims and those bead lips in the tire bed I've never had an issue. Pros don't use sealant...they wait for the team service or neutral service to exchange the wheel obviously. Tubeless tires can be run at lower pressures for monuments and are also slightly more aero than tubulars because of better laminar flow over tire and rim surface.

Sometimes it takes a little more effort to get the beads to pop in with tubeless conversions, but with wide rims and those bead lips in the tire bed I've never had an issue. Well, still. How many carry a track pump around?. I also don't know what 'monuments' mean, but higher pressure usually means lower rolling resistance and one of the big attractions of using tubulars (for me anyway), is that running a tubular at 120psi feels like running with a clincher at 80psi in terms of comfort, but with the 'speed' of the higher psi.

Why would anyone need to carry a pump around in a race? What are you going on about?

I feel like every injury is just going to get blamed on the disc brakes from now on http://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/eoin-doull-blames-kittels-disc-brakes-injuries-sliced-shoe/

Yeah the video makes it pretty hard to believe that he manages to hit his left foot on Kittel's disc, who is on the right of him. The fence is on the left though. I'm going to check out the Track Cycling World Cup in LA this Saturday, anyone worth yelling at or cheering for?

It's kinda funny how much the pros hate discs, they always go for the spinning fiery blades imagery. Surprised more people haven't become early adopters to strike fear into the hearts of their rivals. Next level marginal gains strats.
