Just ordered this today and have read good reviews on it and watched the video on his site/ he stabbed the tire 6 times with an ice pick in the sidewall and it sealed!! Wow.
Anyway just wondering if anybody had an opinion on the sys or some tricks I will need to mount the tires. Thanks.
John.

I ride one of my MTB wheel sets tubeless for lower pressures (grip in wet) and never got a pinch flat like I used to at the same pressure with tubes, it seems like the way forward.
No major weight saving over tubes though, just the puncture resistance.

Also, you will definately need C02 canisters in case of a flat, you'll not get it to seal with a small pump, it's difficult enough with a track pump.
