Here's a thought, or a question, or something...
If you run a tube in a tubless tire with a wire-spoke wheel that is not sealed up around the spokes, what happens when the tube suddenly bursts? Does the tube blow out, but the tire then maintain some of its integrity while the air from the tube leaks out around the spokes?
I've been reading on this and it seems that the big problem with our tires is that they go flat instantly when the tube blows, causing the rider significant distress. Will the tubeless tire go flat slowly enough to allow some measure of control while you get the bike shut down?
