I bought my AR56 wheels this spring, and just had to replace the rear Conti GP5000TL 28c after 6,600 km. I'm super happy with how well the tubeless setup worked, I've only had one flat in that whole time at around the 6K mark, when I picked up a piece of glass on the rear. Dynaplug in, another 600km without a problem, and am down to the threads, new tire time. I typically pump the front (25c) and rear (28c) to 65-70psi (I weigh 77kg) and check pressure with the pump once a week, and ye ol' "push the tires with my thumb" pressure check before every ride.

I thought I'd take a video this time, since I didn't have any problems the first time. I do have the advantage of not having rim tape since I went with the holeless rim bed. In the video is a brand new tire, wasn't previously mounted or in the oven or anything special, no lube, rim cleaned with Muc Off sealant cleaner. Takes about 2-3 minutes to mount without levers. If I was running rim tape, I'd probably have to use a lever at the very end. I then seated the tire with a regular floor pump (took me a minute, didn't see the bead sitting on top of the valve on one side, which I show in the video). I pumped it up to 80psi, will let it set for a while, then put sealant in (was using Stan's, am trying out Orange Endurance this time).
