road tubeless

[TopFuel]

110 psi, no shocks and RSA roads.

 

Perhaps you roadies are tougher than I thought.

 

There is no greater moment that having dealt with rough tarmac for km's on end and finally rolling onto smooth, fresh black stuff. Heavenly!

Oh...wow.

 

So the wider the tyre, the less deformation = the smaller contact patch.

 

I was right about the tyre patch being smaller=better, but I never realised that tyre size had such a large impact on that.

 

Appreciate the article...

Using mine for 2 months now. No punctures yet. Tyres rolls extremely fast even at low pressure. Gives an incredible smooth ride. Read reviews of the Scwalbe's, there's even a video where a guy pushes a (looks like an ice pick) pin through the tyres and it seals with no problem. That's what sold me. I can only speak for the Scwalbe's, haven't tried any of the other brands.

Bottom line is that sealant DO NOT seal a tubeless road tyre that s pumped to8 bar ,been there done it , Got a flat in the bunch at a club ride and everybody were pissed off with Me because I sprayed them with sealant , My bike looked like a jet ski

good work

who's running tubeless?

 

whats your setup? where did you buy your tires? Assume you're running Hutchinsons?

 

Mate of mine is running the Hutchinsons on a set of Ultegra wheels. He's been impressed so far. Ian's running them at about 7 bar, I think he said.

shimano says to not use sealant in their tubeless wheels as it corrodes the rims, how on earth are you realistically meant to ride tubeless without some sealant?

As a European Pro where the roads are swept before the race.
