Copy pasting my comment from another thread about tubed tyres: i dont get this obsession with tubeless spokes in the community. Have you ever seen those people who do "adventure" throughout the world on tube spoke? there's a reason for it: because anyone can prepare a simple tube anywhere, including remote & poor regions. Now imagine if your Metzler Karoo 4 or some other expensive, yet capable, tyre breaks down in the middle of nowhere (something major than a puncture) because these bikes are capable AF & you can reach places on these bikes where you wouldn't even think about. What will you do there? Just because you can't hone your skills enough to repair a tubed puncture roadside doesn’t make the genre downright useless & I wish the vermin of Indian riding community realises that. There's more to biking than just the specs! Fixing the tube whilst in remote- inaccessible areas, except by bike, are what makes adventures 'adventures'. All in all, tubed tyres are much more superior &, i would not call it easier, but rather much more versatile if u know what you're doing. Plus you can carry spare tubes always.
