Well? or just too flimsy?
Should I buy something else and stick with tubes until these wear out (to be fair they don't last)
They work well for me. It took a while for the fluid to fill all the holes but haven't had a problem so far.
Yep, they're fine. Go up with a track pump and a little sealant no problem, easiest tyres to tubeless.
As long as you don't have a hardtail and jump, or live anywhere slatey then the sidewalls will be fine. They only other issue is wet slate, the rons suck over it.
Everywhere else they're fast and grippy.
Same worked fine tubeless, however have not lasted well, very worn after only 4 days proper riding.
Great but takes alot of sealant to seal the cullinder like side walls!
Ah, yes. They do wear quickly on granite, muddy riding and general trail centre stuff in Wales is fine - but go to Scotland and you can say goodbye to the nobbles.
Here's my sob story:

I'd definitely avoid them -- need as much attentionn as another family member. . .
Had much better luck with proper pacestar ones.
I'd say that was user error ^ OR a shallow rim (low ERD), which would explain why the Pacestar have been better.
I've had about 5 pairs from On-one, tubeless'ed them all very easy.
I've also run about another 5 pairs of non-OEM ones from 2010 and they have been the same.
All these on Stans Crest rims.
The caveat is... I've been running tubeless for about 2 1/2 years; I know what I'm doing - but still... The RoRo's have been by far the easiest to tubeless of all the tyres I've run.
Maxxis the hardest, Bonty the closest, and Conti been the most temperamental.
Really, if you've tubelessed tyres before you wont have any problem with the Rons.
the pacestar ones are "proper" tubeless ready, though. I found they leaked much less.
