With all those graphs and scientific stats, it can only be bullshit.

You lost me at ‘tube’
I've been using them for 2 years now without a single puncture or problem. Single best thing I've ever bought.
The above could be entirely bullshit

find them cheaper than 40, i like latex tubes, almost no mtb though -nearly all for 23-25 roadie tyres, very light & don’t pinch flat like butyl tyres

Aren't all presta valve cores removable?

no often roadie tubes have non-removable

it’s that thing i was wearing whilst visiting your house today, to avoid catching the new mutation of the sars-cov2 virus, apparently the ballarat-sebas strain (BS for short) is a particularly FERAL strain, symptoms including buying/driving a hilux and a propensity to steal cars & dump them in the bush

I was hoping you’d wear a boob tube...

Boob tubes are for the flat chested, not the ample bosommed like me.
Tannus now has a tubeless option. I like their armor product that runs tubes and I am keen to give this a go next.

A Unique New Tubeless Insert from Tannus | BIKE Magazine
The concept behind the foam tubeless insert is face-palmingly simple. Any of the products out there will successfully do its job of softening bottom-out force and offering some degree of protection to the tire and rim. But while solving one problem, tire inserts cause several others. They’re...

In my experience:
Tubeless tyre + non-tubless rim = Yep
Non-tubeless tyre + tubeless rim = Yep
Non-tubeless tyre + non-tubeless rim + NOPE

Modern non tubeless tyre and rim can work with a rim strip, but only if the tyre is tight. I have one that's going perfectly, but had another of the same tyre that was on a wider rim before and wouldn't take.

I'm up for new tyres and have been running tubeless since the last set went on. It's been a while as i had a hardtail that got preferential treatment so the tyres on it are well past it....
My question is, does the latex go off and offer no protection after a while? should i go back to tubes if it's not getting ridden as often as it should?
Luckily i've only had a few punctures but i'm fine with replacing a tube on a trail, i like the convenience of tubeless, especially if it seals up a puncture or tear but if the old latex won't do that i'd rather have tubes than have to top up (how often?) before riding to make them workable
