tubeless

Anyone tried the new(ish) Conti tubeless variant? I've been trying a set out and while they ride well they do seem to be particularly sensitive to pressures. The Conti site quotes a recommended 65psi (for 28s) and a maximum of 94psi. I inflated mine to 78 psi in error and they just blew off...

Can anyone tell me if the Maddox cx 2.0 and rapid rob tyres be converted to run tubeless.??? Think I read somewhere that they can but can’t find where I read that.?

I will probably change the tubeless tyres on the Giant SR2 disc wheels. I just want to run clinchers! The Giant tubeless video demonstrates a three step sequence to do precisely that. I know its controversial but anyways. Tubeless is entirely new to me and I don't wan't to get stuck in the...

I have Hutchinson sector tubeless tyres on my winter bike, not used it since May time and fluid/ air leaking from around valve, had this a bit last winter. Have decided to replace valves, but can not get the tyres off the rims, unable to break the seal at the rim, combination of good tight fit...

I've been looking at Giant TCR bikes and most of them have tubeless tyres whereby a sealant plugs a puncture. Are these any good or do you think it's better to do it the old fashioned way with an inner tube? The bike shop said either the sealant or the inner tubes can be used

hi, I am buying a new bike and have a choice of 3 on my shortlist, all come with tubeless tyres.I have seen videos on them and they seem pretty much puncture proof due to the self sealant supplied.Now I know nothing is certain and they are not 100% as you see the pros getting punctures. My...

Hi, I had a crash at the weekend when I skidded on a wet road. I was rolling on Giant SLR wheels with 25mm Giant Gavia AC 1 tyres. Naturally, I am looking to replace the tyres with ones that grip better in the wet, because coming off the bike at 30mph hurts. I would like to stay tubeless and...

Hello all. I'm fairly mechanically minded (build up my own bikes and wheels) but I've never fitted or used a tubeless tyre. I have read and watched plenty and generally know what to do. More out of interest I've ordered some Hutchinson Fusion 5 11storm tyres due to what seems to be universally...

Pal bought three wheelsets for one build then went on holiday and didn't get building and now can't return two sets! **Brand New** Only unboxed for pictures Comes with tape, tubeless valves, spacer, booklet and QR skewers. Incredible premium wheelset, perfect for road, gravel, CX and touring...

Pretty much as the title suggests, I'm looking to get some wider, knobblier tyres for my steel adventure/light touring bike and have been debating going tubeless. I've got 'UST-ready' rims (mavic XM419) and like the idea of low-pressure tyres for light off-roading, but there doesn't seem to be...

I was thinking of getting a 650b road wheelset for a new Surly Troll. 'Road plus' or whatever it's called this week. Something along these lines. I notice however, even on 'skinny' tyres the max pressures aren't particularly high: "Maximum tyre pressures for other tyre sizes 30mm do not...

Ive just learnt what ghetto tubeless is. Who has tried it and was it a disaster?

Here's a new one on me. I've been riding a pair of new Hutchinson Fusion 5 tubeless tyres on new Hunt wheels for the last couple of weeks (all fitted by my LBS). After completing a sportive yesterday, I've done the usual check of the bike and found the below - two large boil-like bulges on the...

****SOLD****SOLD****SOLD****SOLD**** As titled, I've a pair of 700c/29er wheels for sale, stock wheels from my CX bike: - Mavic XM319 rims (19mm int width), built onto - Formula OEM 6-bolt QR disc hubs, with - Sram XD driver body fitted - Ready taped for tubeless (freshly re-taped): just add...

Hi all, With the new bike only days away I'm starting to think about putting together a kit of tools and spares. On my Roubaix and commuter I've got saddle bags so can carry plenty of kit. I want to keep the lines of the Bianchi clean so don't want to fit a saddle bag if I can help it. What do...

Currently run Continental GP 4 Seasons on winter and summer bikes, great wet weather grip. Can anyone recommend tubeless tyres with as good grip as them.

I am new to tubeless tyres and had a puncture this week. For about 5 secondsthe tyre hissed and the sealant came out of the hole and then stopped. I pumped a bit more air in the tyre and carried on. Is it a good idea to add a bit more sealant to the tyre?

After a series of punctures the cause of which was hard to pin down I've decided to go tubeless. The rims on the bike are tubeless ready and while there was plenty of life left in the tyres, I'd lost confidence in the front so decided to buy a new pair of Schwalbe Moto Xs. The job was done by...

After getting a puncture yesterday and having to walk 6 miles home (yes, schoolboy error not having a spare tube with me), I have been thinking................. Is it worth sticking with tubed tyres and carrying tubes, pump, repair kit, levers etc or is it worth going tubeless (the wheels and...

What are your experiences?

Hello to all, is there anyone who run these wheels in tubeless configuration ??

Anybody using Tubeless tyres? Are they durable enough? do you have to replace the tyre after a puncture ?

After a 3rd puncture (2 on back tyre, one on front) in a week, I've reached the point where my tyres are pretty much too cut up and need replacing (to be expected I guess, they are "racier" tyres, so longevity not the key). I now have a dilemma. I've been looking at tubeless for a while, and...

When I have to replace the tyres on my Trice QNT I'm thinking of upgrading to Schwalbe Big Apples for a little extra comfort and I am also considering going tubeless. However has anyone attempted this and how successful/difficult was it?

Is anyone here running tubeless tyres on their daily ride? I am seriously considering putting them on my hybrid as they seem like a great idea but they are still a pretty new deal and quite expensive hence any genuine experiences would be good to hear about.

Does anyone have experience of fixing punctures on tubeless ready rims? One of my bikes has tubeless ready rims with inner tubes. Fixing today's puncture wasn't quite straightforward. First problem was unseating the bead from the rim. Hand pressure wasn't enough, although I did manage it...

There's an interesting discussion going on on Singletrack about this, they are mostly mountain bikers so I thought I'd nip over here and ask if anybody with road tyres filled with latex has noticed sweating on the tyres. Opinion is divided between water from the latex solution and oil used as...

Is tubeless really worth the hassle and exspence , my mate had a flat at the weekend , we could not sort it out so a tube was fitted . What's the point.

I'm out for 4-5 rides a week usually. The last few weeks I have had at least one puncture a week and am getting fed up with standing beside the road fixing the puncture, usually in the wet, so after a lifetime of tubes I've taken the plunge. Just ordered a pair of 28mm Hutchinson road...
