'Tubeless' or 'Not Tubeless'...

Recommended Posts

Howzit Hubbers... I recently got a set of Shimano Ultegra tubeless rims for my road bike, but I'm still running them with tubes. Should I convert to tubeless? Why?

Lots has been said on this forum, do a search, in short: absolutely affirmative! No 1 reason is much fewer flats.

 

But do it properly, with UST tyres, Stan's sealant rim tape

Take a look on Stan the Man's Notubes.com web site for some good videos as well. Best deals on typres & sealant is on-line, check CWC

No tape needed, those Ultegra wheels are tubeless ready.

 

Two choices of tyres really...

1 Hutchinson

2 Mitchelin

Thanks, will check those out. What about Continental? Tankman, you work at CWC, right? I bought the wheels there (along with my Fondriest frame...) so perhaps I should come and talk to you about going tubeless? :D
