Since early summer of 2019, I converted my 17 EX from Tube type to Tubeless and rode it to the Eastern Rally in WV. So far touch wood there is no issue.
See chart below on pressure drop:
All reading are in Psi
Month. Date. Fr. Rr
Sept. 10th. 33 40
Sept. 15th. 33 40
Sept. 29th. 32 39
Oct. 13th. 30 37
Oct. 16th. 28 37
April. 3rd. 24 34
During winter storage between Oct 16th and April 3rd, there was a loss of 4 Psi which I consider kind of acceptable since 1 Psi per month is considered normal.
When I replaced the worn out tires I took a leap of faith and went for the conversion. It seemed to work fine.
