After changing yet another flat tire in the heat this afternoon (while FlatOut billows out of the tiny pinprick hole it is supposed to be mitigating) I have to wonder:

Have any of you changed to a tubeless setup?

How did it go and what rims did you get?

I am running pirelli continental gravel m tires at the moment and hoping they are tubeless compatible since they were rather expensive.

What kind of rims are necessary for tubeless? Is it basically just rebuilding the tire with existing spokes and new rims and hopefully my existing tires?

I run tubeless tires on my mountain bike and I've realized how great that setup is after commuting to work on the eBike.

I'm on the side of the road struggling to change a flat tire. I can't get the G** D*** hub back in the brackets. It's been an hour and I am so furious my hands are shaking.

I've been riding non-e-bikes for 30 years and I have never had this much trouble out of changing a stupid f******.

I have to vent before I throw this piece of s*** off a damn cliff.

While I'm calming down, does anyone have any recommendations for tires and tubes and maybe filler that won't completely give out and go flat at the very slightest bump or abrasion?

I put flat out in these tubes and it did absolutely nothing except make my hands a greasy mess when I'm trying to work on the bike. I tried to find the hole in the tube and so far I've been unsuccessful. Massive embarrassing fail for quick strike flat out product.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
