#!markdown Thanks Steve! Very on point. A few of quick thoughts: 1) definitely want to check with your carbon rim manufacturer of choice as most (all?) carbon rims can't handle the load of bottoming on to the inner chamber (especially at higher pressure) and it's a recipe for cracked rims. Schwalbe is only recommending the product for alloy rims. 2) yes, even with the Specialized's, even lighter than snake skin, Control casing it is crazy between the bead lock and difference in volume how supportive the tires feel at lower pressures. I had to stop thinking about pressure relative to non-ProCore the same way tubes vs. tubeless are different animals. 3) re. Weight vs tubes. It's like running an all mountain tube, plus an extra valve stem, and 60ml of sealant -- so it is heavier than a tube but not a ton. It's also important to note that the outer casing still feels like a tubeless tire so it conforms to terrain much better than a tire with a tube installed. Cheers,
