Question Anyone running Tubeless??

What tires are you guys running if you're running Tubeless?? I have the Kenda Kharisma's front and rear, but after that pinch flat, I'm really hesitant on putting one on the front again... I know everyone in my area loves the Panaracers in the Tubed variety, but is anyone running the Tubless ones?? Any tests online I could read- I've already read everything on MTBR.com....

TIA

I expected that comment, but explain what happens when a tube lets go (ie pinch flat)

either way when a tire pops its not pretty, especially on the front...

anyone else??

Do you run enough air in your tires? The only time I've ever had a pinch flat is when I've landed on a rock or ledge. In my experience the front suspension will usually absorb most of the shock and the tire (with enough air) will not pinch.

Don't know anyone who runs tube-less, so i can ansewer your question
