Hey Harry! Really enjoying and appreciating your videos. It's great to get some insight to how you pro's live your life. I recently got myself a new set of Aeolus pro 5 and figured I treat myself with new latex tubes, and my new favorite rubber; Specialized Turbo cotton. Never tried tubeless, but would love to give it a go sometime. Cheers from Sweden, and have a great 2023!

Oh, my favourite rubber is by Mono as it does a great job of cleaning up my pencil. A pair of DT Swiss would be one awesome give away!

I use Vittoria corsa control 25mm for quite some time, but with inner tubes. Those are still my favourite. But this year I am determined to try tubeless, and I have a pair of Bora wheels that are tubeless ready, so after your no-nonsense approach, I feel I should give it a go! Same with waxing the chain: I usually degrease by putting them into a small container with degreaser, but I feel like it's not very environmental friendly. So I'll give the waxing a go as well!

After getting "The Snip" after child #3, rubber preference changed substantially. And let me tell you, my wife's waxing is second to none. Conti Gatorskins for bike-touring, and Conti 28"'s for the go-fast bike. You've made a strong case for tubeless...

I like my continental tubeless setup, feel free to convert me :) Personally I mount the tyre without sealant get the tyre seated, then add sealant through the valve stem by removing the core. If you have issues at least you don't have to deal with sealant etc, might be from the old days where it was harder to get tyres seated but looks like you have a solid combo, nice work.
