I test bikes for a living, here's why I don't like tubeless tyres

The mess, faff and roadside risks are just some of the reasons why all my road bikes still use inner tubes

    I haven’t tried tubeless yet, but I can say that I’m quite happy so far with the Ride now TPU tubes you can buy for cheap on AliExpress.

    I generally aim for as low maintenance stuff as possible, so this fits well into that philosophy.

        Allegedly:

        • Lower rolling resistance
        • Lighter weight
        • Higher puncture resistance
        • More expensive
        • Trickier to repair?

          Higher puncture resistance with lower weight? That seems counter intuitive but if you can vouch for it then maybe I’ll give it a try

          I have an ebike so I don’t really care about weight lol

            I can’t vouch for the properties. I can only really say that I haven’t had a puncture with them yet.

            They are pretty cheap when purchased on AliExpress fwiw, so that might be a good option.
