Hi

I have recently won 2 x Specialized Ground Control XC Tyres, I noticed on the packaging these are "2Bliss Ready" - therefore tubless ready?

Checked on my Cube Ltd Sl (2012) and the wheels are labeled as Alex ZX 24 Ready - not sure what 24 Ready means, maybe ready to go 24hours a day, or I have 24inch wheels, or Ready means ready for tubeless :lol:

Truth is I am currently running Nobby Nics with tubes, and the have been flawless, no punctures, no tears, still lots of tread, I am reluctant to go tubeless unless:

a) its straight forward
b) there are advantages to be gained

Am I right in thinking if you have the right combination of tubeless tyres and rims you don't even need the goo stuff inside? Is it a messy business? Other than reduced tyre pressures what else can I gain?

I have not planned this route, and I am more than likely to stick with what works.
