Anyone have any experience with them? How do they hold up?

Going on a Pricepoint shopping spree today?

Just go ghetto tubeless and you won't have to worry about it.

I do ghetto tubeless. Yes its a bit more futzing about in the garage - some I have to top off every two weeks or so, have to add sealant every 2-3 months. That said, I have had 2 flats on ghetto tubeless in the 3 years or so I've been running them (large sidewall tears).

The few times I've had to resort to tubes I've had a flat once a week or so. Of course a flat with ghetto tubeless is a mighty PITA to change, but I'd rather have a PITA flat once a year over an "easy" flat once a week.

Also ghetto tubeless is far easier to set up if you have an air compressor. I've done it with a floor pump many times, but an air compressor makes it a 2 minute job.
