    ive just swapped from 2.3 specialized eskar tubeless to 2.0 specialized captains run tubeless and the difference is stark. ran both at 35psi. im much much faster now and dont really notice any difference in comfort. no problems with grip, the bike feels much more lively underneath me. i got caught up in the more is better camp but going from a long forked ht to a lightweight xc biased bike i have got to say im enjoying my riding again. also tubeless is the way forward, i,ll never use tubes again (except emergencies)

    Normally around 35psi,but have accidentally ridden them at 20ish psi before,when the bike had been left for a few weeks.

    Actually felt really good,but bit concerned about pinch flats,to let them go that low! :D
