tubeless tires road bike
At the suggestion of somebody I put tubeless tires on my road bike. I realize I know nothing about them. How much pressure do I want in the tires? I like 100 in my regular tube tires. I bought Stans No Tubes Dart in case I get a flat on the road but I'm not really sure how it works. Do any of you have tubeless tires on your road bike? If so, please share your knowledge. Thank you

There are also lots of online videos on the use and maint of tubeless tires.

This discussion usually turns in to a holy war. Search some old threads, there's lots of info out there. My suggestion: have your first set put on my an LBS. Tubeless tires can be hard to mount and seal at first. They also require different materials and skills if and when you puncture on the road.

My suggestion: if you go this route, only do so if they'll let you watch and (ideally) talk you through some of the nuances. The biggest obstacle with tubeless is the learning curve; having someone do it for you doesn't help you with that unless you can watch and bounce questions off of them.
There's lots of videos on YouTube that can be helpful, as well. |

Thank you. The bike shop I go to put them and and got me set up. I just have questions like how much pressure do they need? I keep 100 in my tubed road bike tires. I also have questions about what to do it I get a flat but, as you pointed out, I can probably find something on YouTube that addresses that. Thanks

Set yourself up for maintenance schedule first - do that and flats will be few and far between, as long as you're using an appropriate sealant. Again, lots of info in the other thread. |
Check the max pressure of your tire and wheel. If 100 psi doesn't exceed it you're fine running that.
