Are tubeless tires cool again? Why I have switched back for road racing.

Interesting that the GP5000 are fast enough for your type of riding. Good to know 😀 Thanks for sharing.

Not fast tubeless , my suggestion tubular lightweight and fast, more safety, the best is 21mm and then 22mm + 23mm, like zipp Tangente.

Thank you

I thought tire inserts shrunk massively when the tire is inflated, that way it doesn’t interfere with the tire and the rolling resistance isn’t affected massively. That way, during a puncture, when the pressure drops, the foam insert expands again and holds the tire in place. At least, that’s what Vittoria advertised and claimed for their inserts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why not to use mixed tyre width? I personally use 30mm in the back for comfort and 28mm in the front for areo. What do you think about that setup? Thanks for your videos.

Tubeless is very Good solution with conti 5000s tlr. Power cup tlr is not very strong…..

Do your tyres hold the pressure? I have the same Michelins in 25mm. My rear tyre looses around 4 bar over night. If I ride the tyres they hold the airpressure. I‘ve put them in a water bath und there are no bubbles. I don‘t know why they loose pressure. How much sealant do you use? I use 50ml Stans. My front tyre is fine. It looses 0.5 bar over night. I never had an issue with tubeless.

Love tubeless setup, I ride around 300-400km per week and I add sealant once every half year, no puncture, I feel they are more durable

Ronald, I see that you now have factor bikes! Yeah, good things are talked about with those bikes. Even the pros are loving them...

About tyres, have you tried the Maxiss High Road tyres ?! Been using them myself lately and they are pretty incredible...

Safe riding!

30mm tubeless tires, I love it! They will provide a lot of grip, confidence and comfort while racing and it will make more difference for saving energy then the fastest 25mm tire!

Have you ever had to put that foam insert to the test? I'm curious to know if I'd be able to ride home on it if I punctured. Given that I've only punctured once in 2 years using latex-tubed GP5000s, I'm still not sure it's worth the extra hassle of seating it, dealing with sealant, etc, but it would be nice to know if I could ride home if I got a puncture that doesn't seal.

After a year I've just gone back to tubeless a couple of days ago. Put 30mm RapidAir on my S works. Sitting good on the Rovals. I've gone to the 30mm hoping to run lower pressures hoping that the sealant has a better chance of sealing if needed. May try the insert in the near future. Heard that some inserts absorb the sealant.

What tape do you use to keep the silca aero shields in place ?

Bro your opinion changes quite fast. You said tubeless are pointless a while back, now you said it’s cool. What’s next? New bike sponsor and it will title “Factor killer”
