I have taken the liberty of picking out the "best" review, from the reviews that continue to increase every day, and I would like to introduce this to you!

This is the second time I have used this tubeless kit, having previously used it on a W800.
At that time, I had an air leak due to my installation error, but after correcting the air leak, I had no problem at all.
If you have ever changed tires, the tubeless kit is not difficult to install. If you have ever changed a tire, it is not difficult to install a tubeless kit, and you probably won't fail if you remove rust and bumps from the installation area and degrease it properly.
Fortunately, I have never had a puncture on my bike, but I did it just in case.
It is the savior of spoke wheels.It's not just that it makes the wheel lighter under the spring, it's that it gives me peace of mind.
I always have a puncture repair kit and an air pump in my side bag, so I can go touring with peace of mind.

As the name suggests, a tubeless kit eliminates the need for a tube, even for spoked wheels. There are many advantages, but the biggest is that it makes repairs easier in the event of a puncture.
If the tire was originally tubeless, it is within your ability to repair a puncture on your own with a commercially available kit or other means. However, when a tire with a tube goes flat, it is a different story. In most cases, you will have to ask for a tow, which will end up dissolving your time and money. I (Takimura) cried when my D Tracker X had a flat tire.
I don't want to experience another flat tire with a tube.
This is where tubeless kits can help! Since the rim of a spoked wheel is airtight with seals and tape, there is no air leakage even without a tube. Moreover, if a nail or other object gets stuck in the wheel, a tube would immediately release the air, which would be very dangerous, but with tubeless wheels, the nail itself acts as a plug and is likely to keep the air out for a certain period!
Well, there is the aspect that this delays the realization that the nail is stuck, but I think it is at least better than having the tire flattened while riding.
Another advantage is that since the tubes themselves are eliminated, the suspension weight is reduced and athletic performance is improved.
(The front and rear tubes alone weigh about 1.5 kg, which is surprisingly heavy.) It is also nice that the work becomes easier when changing tires & the labor and parts costs are lower.
To be honest, the benefits of tubeless are quite significant, so much so that some people even convert to tubeless first when they buy a bike with spoked wheels.
If you ride a spoked bike, you should consider tubeless conversion!
