Tubeless road bike tyres: Why choose tubeless?
Tubeless road bike tyres are quickly gaining popularity among cyclists due to their many advantages. The main one is the reduction in rolling resistance. Due to the lack of tube, the friction between the tube and the tyre also disappears, ensuring a smooth, faster ride. Plus, you can ride with a lower tyre pressure when you’re using tubeless tyres, without compromising on speed or comfort. This results in more grip and a comfortable ride, even on rough roads.
A lower chance of flats
Another major advantage of tubeless tyres is the lower chance of flat tyres. Small punctures are closed by the liquid latex sealant in the tyre, so you usually won’t even notice your tyre has been punctured. This makes tubeless tyres especially suitable for long rides and competitions where you don’t want to be on the side of the road with a flat tyre. Tubeless road bike tyres also perform better in bad weather and on wet roads, because the lower tyre pressure results in more grip and control.
Compatibility and fitting tubeless tyres
Riding tubeless requires a compatible wheelset, airtight rims and tubeless valves. Fitting them can be a little trickier than with traditional tyres, but when using the right tools and process it’s not that bad. It’s important to position the tyre well, and to add the liquid latex in the correct way. A quality pump or compressor can also make it easier to fit a tubeless tyre, and to make it airtight. Don’t forget to regularly check your liquid latex, and to top it off when necessary for optimal performance.

For example, Continental is known for its excellent grip and rolling resistance with the GP5000 TL tyres, while Schwalbe’s Pro One model is beloved for its suppleness and puncture proofing. Whether you’re training or riding competitions, there’s always a tubeless tyre that suits your riding style and needs.
Frequently asked questions about tubeless road bike tyres
What are the advantages of tubeless road bike tyres?
Tubeless road bike tyres have a low rolling resistance, more grip, and a lower chance of punctures due to the liquid latex sealant. This results in a more comfortable and more efficient ride, especially when riding at a low tyre pressure.
How do I install tubeless road bike tyres?
You’ll need a compatible rim, tubeless valves and liquid latex sealant to fit tubeless tyres. Fit the tyre on the rim, add the liquid latex and use a pump or compressor to pop the tyre into place. Always check whether the tyre is airtight and, when necessary, top it off with extra liquid latex.
Are tubeless road bike tyres suitable for every wheel?
No, not every wheelset is compatible with tubeless tyres. Wheels have to be specifically designed to be airtight and compatible with tubeless valves. Always check if your wheelset is suitable for tubeless use before buying tubeless tyres.
How often should I top up the liquid latex in my tubeless tyres?
Liquid sealant dries out after some time, usually within 3 to 6 months. That’s why it’s important to check your liquid latex regularly and top it up when necessary, so the latex can continue closing up punctures.
