Now running tubeless, and the bars are about 1.5 inches narrower (to start). Can't wait to try it tomorrow and see how it feels!!

So I guess I'll just keep a spare tube with me and not worry about the tire setup until I get a flat, but if they're that much of a pain to deal with without an air compressor, can't I just bring it in to the shop if I need help? Is there some trick I should learn to fix them at home? The guys were pretty helpful today but about 5 minutes after I got to the shop it filled up with people who needed help and I forgot all of my questions.

Should I learn how to use CO2 with the understanding that I should flat less often (so I don't have to carry the frame pump that doesn't fit on the new bike and requires me to always be wearing a backpack?)

Thanks!
