[Healeys] Spokes & Tubes

[Corning, Dan (D.C.)]

Assuming wire wheels will at some point need broken spokes replaced and truing, and this breaks the tubeless seal, are tubeless wheels advisable?

I appreciate your point Ira, but if you order wheels set up for tubeless from Dayton, they seal the bottoms of the nuts to the rim to prevent air leaks.
Tightening the nuts breaks the seal and then your tires lose air.
This is not to say that a failed wheel is preferable, just that fussing with the nuts brings on another set of problems.  And, just tightening the nuts doesn't assure that the wheel is true.
That's why I'm asking if this is a common problem.  Maybe I got a bad set.
