Vittoria Air-Liner Road

20/4 Airliners put on icm Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite 700X28C - fits well on rim 21/4 Puncture on 1st ride! Fairly lost tyre pressure, re-inflated air and was able to ride on. Had a similar experience with inserts on gravel bike - a spare inner tube is only limited to one puncture!

Pros & Cons

Mounted with Vittoria corsa pro on Roval rapide clx rims. Installation is not too difficult. But it's not easy to find a tubeless seal. On the other hand, you can forget about the roadside repair and hope that the liner will get you home.

Don't want to put an inner tube in a Tubeless tyre (Grease mess) on my wife. So the Insert is a solution. Fitting the Inserts around the Elitewheels Marvel 50V and a Schwalbe Pro One TLE outer tyre was easier than expected. Did use a Tyre Trailer (BTL-78) but without any problems. Tip! Only add Sealant last (i.e. when the tyre is already fitted). Then tested. My wife 50Kg was able to cycle to it just fine (RUSTLY) (call it a "Home Carrier", without damaging the rim). Obviously inconvenient if you still have a long way to go but this is a last resort and I would plug the tyre first. 'Am even of the opinion that you can ride on with a crack in your outer tyre. For the slightly heavier persons it also works but the Insert flexes more but the cheeks of the outer tyre protect your rim, of course you have to ride more carefully, but get home or bike mechanic you will, without having to call the Family to be picked up! Whether it's suitable for races I can't judge but that's not the purpose I use them for.

Pros & Cons

Tricky to assemble without practice. But with soap, lots of patience and tubeless pliers ( BBB) well to do

Pros & Cons

The ultimate in tubeless riding. The anti-leak fluid does nothing after a few weeks....is diluted or "latexed". Riding on carefully for 20 Km after a big leak is perfectly possible. Some anti-leak fluids make the green sausage small, i.e. its punching effect disappears.....

Pros & Cons

Already had a few times that the puncture was too big and could not be sealed by the latex. Putting an inner tube in with latex in the tires along the way is a tinker. With these Airliners, you could continue to ride a few km without air in the tires and without damaging the tire and rim. Have had them in the tires for about 500 km now and fortunately no experience yet whether they work effectively as promised.
