Tubeless Tire

Why you Should Ride your Bike with Tubeless Tires

ByJohn Swanstrom

I have been riding my Road, Mountain, and Gravel bikes with tubeless tires for years, and I’m 100% convinced you should too.  Here’s why…

  1. You Can Ride Faster: Here’s the deal, lower air pressure decreases rolling resistance, allowing your bike to travel faster with less effort. 
  1. You Seldom Get Flat Tires:  That’s right, run tubeless, and you rarely get flats because the sealant you put inside your tire seals the hole. 
  1. Your Bike is More Comfortable to Ride: Because you can run lower air pressure in your tires.  
  1. Tubeless Tires Are Lighter: You can get up the hills quicker and impress your friends. 
  1. Your Bike Will Grip the Road/Trail Better:  Lower air pressure allows you to corner faster and climb more efficiently.

My name is John Swanstrom, my friends call me Swanny. I am a native of Southern California and currently live in a city called Oak Park.

Throughout my 30+ years of riding, I have learned a lot about cycling. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve learned a lot by doing things the wrong way and learning from my mistakes. So I’m not going to be writing about something I read on the Internet, but rather I will write about stuff I’ve learned firsthand.

The purpose of The Masters Cycling Channel is for me to share what I’ve learned through the years with the goal of making your cycling life (and maybe other parts of your life as well) better.
