No, tubes in mine.

They are ace tyres BTW. I've put 1k on them so far of mixed gravel/crap tarmac and you can only just tell on the rear needle file tread. I've got both 60&120 tpi variants and only used the 120's so far. I run them on a mix of pressure, depending on terrain, but mostly crap lanes and I'll stick 60-65psi in them, gravel and I'll drop to 40-45, lumpy hard bridle way (SDW for instance) and its 30-35psi..

Yup, just let out a bit of air.

I used mine on the recent Dirty Reviver thing in Kielder and they coped superbly, I stuck 60psi in them and ran all day at that. I should have dropped to 45-50 but was having too much fun to stop.. Oh, no punctures in the yet either (touches virtual Wood)

They roll fast if at 60-65, you barely feel any drag, yet really comfortable.

I'm old school and sticking with tubes, so can't help there soz.
