This may be a dumb question but if I have tubes on my current tires couldnt I just put tubes on the Shinkos as well? Even though they say 'tubeless' on their description?

I have changed a million bicycle tires so I am pretty sure I can get this done myself, I am just not sure how you guys balance your own tires. Is there an easy solution to that?

Yes, you can put tubes in them and it won't hurt anything. They will run a bit hotter, but you'll never really know the difference.

Well I have decided on the Shenkos and I am going to just go ahead and get new tubes as well. Do you think it is worth it to spend $25/tube for Metzlers or will something less expensive do? What tubes do you guys recommend? I am looking at BikeBandit and there are several options.

Don't they have $10 tubes? If you ride alot and next season mounting new tires again then why the expensive tube? Be careful not to pinch the tube when mounting! tubeless...tubeless...tubeless...
