Default Re: New to cycling

Until yesterday I hadn't touched my bicycles since my crash last year. A fractured bone in the right hand and damaged tendon in my left shoulder put me on the sidelines. Plus I scratched my new toy.

Yesterday I went to move the road bicycle which has been in the same spot for more than eight months. Only to discover that it was stuck to the concrete! The tubeless tyres had deflated and the puncture sealant had escaped gluing the tyres to the concrete. FFS.

I hate that crap and once the mess has been cleaned I will be fitting inner tubes.

Do the high mileage cyclists on AFF prefer tube or tubeless tyres?
