Road tubeless feedback

Some user feedback on the road tubeless conversions is starting to come in so we're just spreading the word.

This from Lee in Texas:

"Hello Stan,

We talked late summer about using the tubeless products on carbon road rims. I wanted to give you feedback as to what I experienced. Using the full 2oz definitely is the route to go. With my Spinergy Stealth FCT carbon wheel set, I initially had to top off again after sitting overnight. After that it seemed all the little carbon imperfections had sealed and things are great! I installed tires on my Campy Hyperons Ultras (carbon clincher) They sealed up right away and no issues. Installing the tires were no more difficult than installing a regular clincher tire really.

Both sets of wheels hold pressure just fine. I haven’t experience any burping and I’ve definitely hit my share of pot holes. I run about 75 psi in the front 80 psi in the rear. Great system, they run better than any of my fancy sew-ups!! In fact I have a few other wheel sets which I plan to set up.

Thanks again!!"
