Good tyre, but expensive.
Flat tyre twice in a row without a hole, probably valve the weak spot.
Pros & Cons

Ride nice but valve is bad
I was curious after reading some reviews and have been trying them out for about a month now. They ride very nicely but the valves that come with them really suck. Every time I pump them up they come loose and the whole tyre goes flat. They are also not very pressure-resistant, but with the screw thread of the valve this is not surprising either. Fortunately, they haven't gone flat yet.

Disappointed
After reading some reviews, my curiosity was piqued, so I decided to order! Fitting the inner tubes went very smoothly. The main question: what is it like to ride with them? In all honesty, the difference is only small. Acceleration is slightly better and while riding you notice more clearly that you are riding "tubeless". What I am not satisfied with, however, are the valves. By the third ride, air was already escaping from one of the valves, and that for a tube costing more than €20. They should not have skimped on the weight of the valves. Conclusion: nice to test once, but I switched back to "regular" inner tubes, as they are more reliable and cheaper in the long run!

Good but poor puncture resistance
Nice inner tubes to ride. Give feeling of tubeless setup. However, the puncture resistance is very poor. Got a puncture in 50 km ride on the road good where butyl inner tube lasted for 5000+ km.

Great product but....
Of my two chambers bought a month apart, one can't hold the pressure and leaks through the shell, even though it's tight, after a 3:00-4:00 outing. I've temporarily solved this problem by putting a bit of plumber's Teflon on the shell thread! Will this measure hold over time? Otherwise an excellent product in terms of feel and performance...
