Yep. If this were MTBR someone would be complaining and throwing a fit. Tapper881, I feel your pain. I just converted one of my bikes into tubeless using the stan's kit and found out two of my tires needed to be patched on the sidewalls. Now I'm rethinking my choice of tires for the terrain I'm in and what tire should I choose. Trust me, you can spend a lot of time researching what tire to buy. Nevegal in front and SB8 in back sounds pretty solid though.
