If you already have tubeless-ready tyres and wheel rims fitted but currently run inner tubes, I can help take the inconvenience out of getting a puncture whilst cycling in the City, by converting your wheels to run tubeless tyres, effectively saying goodbye to having a puncture and flat tyres!

The advantage of 'going tubeless' is that when a sharp object punctures your tyre, the latex sealant inside the tubeless tyre seals the small hole that is created and does so very quickly, preventing the sudden loss of air pressure associated with a puncture. This is a safer alternative, as with tubeless tyres you will be able to continue safely on your journey or complete the cycle ride home, sometimes without even noticing!

Cargo and e-Bikes can be very heavy for one person and patching an inner tube (perhaps for the first time) is an acquired skill, that involves many steps and a lot of practice to get right first time, every time. Although puncture repair requires relatively simple and inexpensive tools, these are often not carried on short journeys by bike owners. 

Carrying out a traditional puncture repair, by the side of the road, requires the removal of the flat tyre, which is by no means an easy task on a heavy bike. In terms of personal safety, attempting the job alone can feel overwhelming and may make you feel very vulnerable?

To make the decision/change, the first step is: How can I tell if my current tyre is tubeless-ready?

Look at the tyre side wall on both sides for the model/name, as tubeless tyres usually have TL, UST, TRS or Tubeless written on the sidewall; Some tires don't (like the Schwalbe 'Pro One'), so if in doubt, simply Google the make and model of your tyre to check if it's a tubeless ready tyre or not, before getting in touch with iLovesMyBike.

Please note: Tubeless-ready tyres will only be set up by iLovesMyBike on tubeless-ready wheel rims.

iLovesMyBike reserves the right not to undertake any tubeless-conversion work using outdated 'gorilla' solutions, because for the best and safest results, going tubeless requires both tyres and rims designed specifically for the task.
