With the continuous development of tire technology, the application of tubeless tires has become more and more extensive. Tubeless tires have a higher level of puncture resistance, comfort, safety and durability, and are widely used by mountain bikers in the bicycle field, so it is not uncommon to see mountain bikes equipped with tubeless tires. However, combined with these benefits and the growing trend in the entire cycling industry, tubeless-set tubeless road wheels are also beginning to gain popularity on the road, and more and more riders and pros are beginning to embrace the option of road tubeless tires.
Many tire manufacturers and early tubeless riders claim that tubeless tires provide a more all-around superior riding experience than clinchers. With a good reputation, the introduction of tubeless road tires was quickly accepted by many riders.
The road tubeless tire cancels the installation of the inner tube and is filled with self-replenishing fluid. When a small perforation is encountered during riding, the leakage can be repaired in time, so the tubeless tire is more resistant to puncture than the clincher. This feature is useful in a variety of situations, whether riding on smooth roads or rough cobblestones. Simply put, tubeless tires always reduce the risk of a puncture by a significant amount, no matter the road conditions.
Since there is no inner tube setting, there is no need to worry about the risk of “snake bite” if the tire pressure is too low, so reduce the tire pressure appropriately for better comfort. The tire maintains a larger contact area with the ground and provides greater grip when facing the road with poor adhesion. Therefore, when using a tubeless road tire, its tire limit is higher than that of ordinary clincher tires, which makes the rider more confident in cornering.
Five years ago, tubeless road tires were a rarity, and those available were focused almost entirely on puncture protection rather than performance. Now, tubeless road tires are rich in function and form, and almost all tubeless tires launched are developed to improve rolling efficiency.
Also, many modern road bikes or wheels come with a tubeless-compatible setup. It also means you don’t need to buy a tubeless wheel when you want to change to a tubeless setting. While tubeless tires are not without their drawbacks, overall, they offer a number of performance benefits that appeal to a r
The “out-of-stock tide” brought about by the epidemic has made it difficult to find a bike in the cycling circle. Even if some brands can order a bike, the delivery time varies from a few months to more than half a year. There are many bike fans who can’t wait to turn their attention to […]
Whether you’re a big cyclist or a novice cyclist, who hasn’t made some mistakes on the bike? For example, when the new bike is installed, the vehicle accessories are installed incorrectly, the equipment model is not matched when the accessories are upgraded, the fault judgment is wrong, and there is wasted effort in disassembly and […]
With the full popularity of the disc brake system for road bikes, the road bike market has completely resolved the debate between disc brakes and rim brakes. It can be said that disc brakes have completely taken over the rim brakes. But in road disc brakes, there is another debate, so is it better to […]
Today, most mountain bikes on the market are equipped with front fork shock absorbers, and even many gravel bikes are equipped with micro-travel shock absorbers in order to cope with more complex road conditions. There is enough suspension travel on a bicycle to measure the bumps that the bicycle can absorb, so what kind of […]
