Help! Tube-less wheels!

Posted on
  • Hello,
    I woke up this beautiful sunny Sunday morning to find my wheels stolen, probably sold on Bricklane to buy crack. After my anger had slightly winged, I gave up the search for the perpetrator, put down my wrench and called my brother who gave me a set of tubeless rims, can anyone recommend a place I can buy tires and what type would be best for everyday London use.

    Thank you.

  • You can get tubs from most bike shops, but they are not the best choice for riding Londons famous London- bugger to fix punctures by the roadside.

    Tubeless. Not tubs.

  • You would be surprised how few shops stock them, I have looked. If im going to order them in, I was thinking to buy off-line and cut out the middle man…….if I am still going to be pig-headed and run tubeless, what would be the least likely to get flats?

  • tubeless

  • Tubeless. Not tubs.

    As in UST mountain bike tyres?

    Was not aware that they made road versions of those.

    Have them on the MTB and they are a pain in the arse.

  • only hutchinson make tubeless tyres...

  • Not mountain bike, racer.

  • There are tubeless road tyres.. but you're assuming the OP is talking about a road bike which they may not be.

    Hutchison and IRC

    www.hutchinsontires.com, www.roadtubeless.com

  • Sorry, I may have got my terminology wrong. Tubular would have been correct………not tubeless. Doh!

  • You can get them most places, as said above.

  • luckyskull:
    If you want to use them everyday on normal road, I would think that Tufo tubs with Tufo selant in them would be the best choice..

    I have a set of S33 Special's, only did 2*14km on them though, but don't see any cuts or small rocks in them even though it was on sanded Copenhagen winter roads so they might be fine for everyday use.
