The same screw would have punctured your tubed tire. I rode most of my life on tubed tires as well because it was all that was available. I used to run tubed tires in my cars for the same reason. On dirt bikes and bikes for overland travel, I can even agree that they are still the best choice. With hard terrain, desert, and river crossings you are talking overland travel. While I agree that a 21 inch tubed tire would be best for that, I also think that the Africa Twin as spec'ed here would be a bad choice for overland travel. You are free to see it differently or buy one and go beating it across the Congo.
By the way Heidenau makes a 21 inch K60 Scout in Tubeless configuration if you wanted to run a tubeless conversion wheel. But, I personally would not want the 21 in the first place whether tubed or tubeless.
of course matter of personal preference. I guess you think AT would be bad choice for overland travel because of weight only because all other specs are right on I believe.
Well, I can manage throwing around 220kg of my nc750x so I guess I can do the same with 13 kg heavier AT although I agree, 20kg less would be ideal. If you don't ride heavy off-road
no wonder you prefer 19" over 21" but for overland riding why would you?
