Who wants a set of Vitoria Terreno Zero 700x38 tubeless?

Also one Tufo Speedero 700x40.

Uh, I need new shoes for the dew.

DM me your address.

After 100+ miles the rear tire lost all air while parked outside work today

Could not get any air back in

Realized my complacent dumb ass only had a shrader 26” spare tube

Ubered home

Drove back to work and got my bike

Learned that somehow in my gigantic pile of bike garbage I don’t have a single 650 tube

Manage to find a 26” presta tube with two giant punctures

Get ‘em patched and get the tire in

One patch falls off

Second try is the charm

Guess I’m retaping this weekend, which is fine becuse it’s back to 30s and 40s and snow even though it was 89 today

I like tubeless but it can be a harsh mistress sometimes

I might already be regretting putting this dumb panaracer tire on this wheel. It seems to be leaking from one bead.


I should just order some new bokens.

Take it up with the warranty department.

Fwiw I have two sets running tubes and one full of dried out Stan’s and the tubeless takes less maintenance

This is definitely an issue with those tires. Some are fine and don’t weep some are crap and will never hold.

The one I had was fine for a couple months and then started weeping and wouldn’t hold. Wtf is that about?

Super thin sidewalls, and very questionable “tubeless“ standards adherence
