How our local trails changed my mind on tubeless tires

I was sure tubeless tires were just extra work for no real gain. In my shop, I used to advise against them, thinking inner tubes were simpler. But over the last two years, I've watched our local mountain bike trails get rougher with more rocks and roots. Riders kept coming in with pinch flats, and many started asking for tubeless conversions. After hearing one regular praise his tubeless setup for months without a flat, I tried it on my own bike. The first time was a bit messy with the sealant, but I got it right. Since then, I've had zero flats on the same trails that used to ruin my rides. Now I see the value and recommend tubeless to anyone facing tough terrain here.
