What is the advantage of tubeless tires? I purchased a pretty nice mountain bike and it came tubeless (with sealant) and presta valves and in a month it has already had more flats than the old Polygon bike with tubes and schrader valves did in years. My pump doesn't work with the presta valve so a little adaptor needs to be used. It's not a issue getting a new pump- but before doing so want to make sure that it is a advantage to keep this style -- because right now am considering drilling the rim and going old school.

The little presta valve is just so fragile... sometimes when you are installing/removing the cap it wants to turn at the rim and starts leaking... and when you unscrew the top to add air it is very easy to bend.

Am I just having bad luck or is this a more temperamental system that people put up with to try to run lower psi and not pinch tubes? On dirt bikes (motorcycles) I have switched to mousse inserts and those are amazing.

Absolutely. You have to experiment and add in one thing at a time, gauge your reaction and keep a log.

Edited to add
For anyone who has bad inflammation, poor energy, poor sleep, pain…

Start with a carnivore cleanse. No dairy no grain no veggies no fruit no seeds.

Concentrate on beef and other multi-stomach animal proteins. Pigs or chickens do not break down polyunsaturated fats in corn and other stuff they are fed but ruminants do. Water or tea (coffee is controversial so at first avoid it) and good Baja or Celtic salt.

After 30 days you will feel better, probably really good. Now add in some fruit. You will feel incredible with some natural sugars and antioxidants. You could stop there, with some supplements and be great….but if you have to then add some controversial stuff with enough time and keep a log. It’ll take months to figure it out for yourself.

Hahaha! Officially true, but do you remember what ol’ Barry did for a living that got him into and through Harvard? I believe MSM coined it as community organizer.

I went through a food inventory a while back after having all kinds of problems which I won't list in entirety here but waking up with night sweats and painful cramps were a couple along with getting up to pee 3 or 4 times a night and a few others that were downright scary.

I cut out pretty much all processed foods for a while then stopped eating wheat, seafood, dairy and beef entirely. Talk about a limited diet. Long story short, everything is back except dairy in any form. No butter, cheese, whey, milk, yada yada ... not a single thing that lists any milk based ingredient or may have been made where dairy might contaminate it. It's not a lactose intolerance it's more like a genuine dairy allergy.

Cramps are gone, sweats are gone, don't get up to pee at all. Still don't sleep much but that's always been a problem so maybe I'll try the magnesium glycinate.

Point being, different people have different triggers.
