The tubular industry has literally exploded in 1999. Conversion kits, sealants, Universal Standard for Tubeless (UST)-specific rims and wheelsets have given the tubeless rider more options than ever.

What is rolling resistance?
Rolling resistance is the force required to keep a tire rotating. Or, simply put, lower the rolling resistance, the less energy needed to keep it in motion. Typically a 10 percent reduction in rolling resistance means about one to two percent reduction in powers from your leg. That might not seem like a lot at first, but it can shave you a couple of seconds throughout your journey.
Why Pros are using tubeless tire
- Weight - With a traditional clincher wheel is easily 100 to 300 gr heavier, than a similar tubular combination for a person with the same weight. Furthermore the lightest wheel combinations nowadays are of carbon. With the present carbon wheel trend for super light wheels you have no choice than to use tubulars. Clinchers cannot be used.
- Mounting - Like with everything new, the first time can be tough. However, mounting a new clincher (worse a tubeless clincher) will as tough or tougher, than glue your first tubular.
- Toughness and security - The tubeless manufacturers are constantly developing new products they really very tough which may holds up to 220psi or more! A flat clincher means almost for sure a fall. With a flat tubular a fall is less probable, because the tubular looses air slower and does not get out of the rim as the clincher does in such cases.
- Flats Repair - When you have a flat tire with a clincher, you will have to loosen the tire of the rim and afterwards replace the tube. This will take you away some precious minutes. With the tubular sealent system, just open the air valve of your tire (clincher or tubeless), empty the tire, inject in the sealant, approximately 10 to 15 gr. inflate the tire, close the valve and ride on. This means, you do not have to change the tire.
- Price - Good things doesn't come cheap. The best tubulars are much more expensive than the clinchers.
