Assuming wire wheels will at some point need broken spokes replaced and tru=
ing, and this breaks the tubeless seal, are tubeless wheels advisable?

Dan Corning


I appreciate your point Ira, but if you order wheels set up for tubeless fr=
om Dayton, they seal the bottoms of the nuts to the rim to prevent air leak=
s.
Tightening the nuts breaks the seal and then your tires lose air.
This is not to say that a failed wheel is preferable, just that fussing wit=
h the nuts brings on another set of problems.  And, just tightening the nut=
s doesn't assure that the wheel is true.
That's why I'm asking if this is a common problem.  Maybe I got a bad set.
