Right simple one here,
What’s a good inner tube, I had a puncture on the Amflow, fixed it, but the current tubes a Maxxis super thin
That does not fill me with much confidence
What are some better ones, tubeless??? Or stop being a silly

Another one in the tubeless camp here.
Riding around Weeksy's local trails there's usually hedge-cutting going on, it's reasonably common to see tell tale white spooge on the tyre after a ride but have no idea where or when it happened.
I added some more fluid recently and pulle three big thorns out of the casing.
On a recent ride he got a rear puncture, spaffed white spooge over me and the bike, we stopped, hummed and carried on to the cake shop. No fuss or drama, got the last choccy cakes before they sold out, Win!

Tubeless vote here.
Also consider slightly more robust tyres. It is fair to say that most OEM fitted tyres are rubbish and not the same as the same brand and name from a retailer …

I emailed asking is the wheels are already set up for tubless
This was the reply
“ I can confirm that the wheel come pre-taped so that’s fine – you will just need to buy tubeless valves and some sealant”
Off to order some valves and sealent…Boooosch

Buy yourself some Filmore Valves and a decent tubeless pump like an airshot or Joe Blow and seating the tyres will be a lot easier.

Excellent news ....
While manual pumps might work when you have experience , there is northing like the ease of a compressor
