In the world of mountain bikes and gravel bikes, tubeless tyres are here to stay as they work well on big tyres at low pressures.Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
The man who sold me my Italian bike said that it was important to always remember that the bike business was a fashion industry and manufacturers had to keep coming up with new ideas to extract money from gullible cyclists.
He had been selling bikes for a very long time.
On the road the benefits are not really there, yet. If the next generation of tubeless tyres go on the rims and seal more easily at high pressures then it could be the way forward.
Most cyclists do seem to be gullible and want to have the latest 'thing', and the 2023 version of this is the two speed electronic rear hub being used this year by professional Victor Campenaerts and others.
