• Has anyone gone back to tubes from riding primarily tubeless? If so, regretted it? Not been an issue? Not missed it?

    I ask because I've been tubeless for three years and it has been great. But that was a bike with 30c tyres, so it made a lot of sense. I'm after some 25/28c gumwall's for an incoming bike and there don't really seem to be any PROPER gumwall's in tubeless (Schwalbe One TLE are not gumwall - they're almost brown).

    The wheels I'll be using on the new bike are tubeless and I'm using them tubeless with black 25c Schwalbe Pro One's currently.

  • I've got some nice gumwall challenge paris roubaix setup with tubes on one set of wheels that used to have Pro Ones, they ride as nice if not even nicer. Just bog standard tubes too, so I bet ultralight or latex would be even nicer.

    Only downside is the rear gumwall got ruined pretty fast from brake dust / road muck.

  • I did exactly that. I had a cut in my front tyre (Hutchinson 700x28) which would not seal, so instead of getting another tubeless tyre i went with Veloflex Master,as they were on sale on bike24. The Veloflex tyres feel much nicer, are lighter and more grippy, though that is more tyre specific than related to tubeless or not. Only downside so far is air loss, as I went with latex tubes.
