Has anyone bent there upper shock mount? I did a search but could find anyone mentioning that. Its very slight so I'm hoping its just a bolt quality issue. All the other bolts in the linkage were torqued properly and no play at the bushing.

If anyone has I could use a link to what you replaced it with.
Thank you

Maybe you had some bad luck or poor sealant or tires combination.
I ride tubeless tires on my road bike for about 3-4 years now.
This year so far without a flat for ~8,400km.
With Orange sealant, the regular one. And GP5000 tires.

Tubeless rims have a special bead profile that retains better the tire on it.
And in the center has a deeper groove for an easier mount.

Has nothing to do with the tire staying inflated. Its more to do with the benefits of a tubeless system vs Clincher in a road application. I also said it depends what your using it for.

Depends on what you are using them for. If you are only riding road, stay away from tubeless all together.
DT swiss 350 are my favorite hubs and they are a know brand where as the others are generic. Probably perfectly good hubs but if we ever decide to sell those wheels the DT swiss part will be the only thing that gets you any money back.
