What is Tubeless and why?

Your first bicycle probably had inner tubes. Most of us start off life bouncing around happily on tires filled with black rubber balloons. Mum or Dad have to inflate them every spring and patch or replace them any time we ride over a nail or thorn, but for the most part, they get the job done for trips around the neighborhood.

Start riding some more, though, on trails or longer road rides, and the limitations of inner tubes become obvious. Sooner or later, anyone who spends time a bicycle, has some revelations:

• Getting punctures and fixing flats is no fun.
• There are a lot of sharp, pointy things out there.
• A little lower air pressure in tires offers more traction, comfort, and control.
• That same lower pressure can let the tire compress when you hit something, smashing the inner tube between the ground and your rim, and causing a puncture.
• Getting punctures and fixing flats is no fun.

Whether you race or not, once you start thinking about tires and air pressure, you’re officially what marketing types refer to as an “enthusiast.” That means you’re pretty into this whole bike riding thing, and it’s time to search for something better than an inner tube.

Going Tubeless has many benefits, not just its ability to seal punctures on the go: you can run lower pressures for more comfort and traction without risking pinch punctures, your tyres will be more responsive to bumps and it saves weight. All meaning you can have more fun on your bike!
