The article discusses the author's preference for inner tubes over tubeless tyres for road cycling, despite recognizing that tubeless technology has its place, especially in mountain biking and gravel riding. The author expresses frustrations with the inconsistency of tubeless systems, particularly when they fail to seal properly or lose pressure, which can compromise safety and performance. Their positive experiences in road cycling with inner tubes, including a puncture-free ride in a challenging event, reinforce their choice despite the acknowledged benefits of tubeless setups for certain types of cycling.
When tubeless tyres work well, they can deliver fantastic performance, but when they fail to seal or lose pressure, the experience shifts to one of frustration and concern.
While tubeless technology offers advantages in certain scenarios, such as MTB and gravel riding, my experiences have led me to stick with inner tubes for road biking.
