Easier to repair

Having a bike equipped with spoke wheels and tubeless tyres means enjoying many advantages like lower weight, less gyroscopic effect, uniform wear, and ease of repair in case of puncture. The latter is a very important quality because in case of puncture during trips, excursions, and the classic trip out of town it will take you just a few minutes to make a repair that would otherwise require the intervention of the tow truck.

Most of the times, punctures are caused by sharp objects sticking into the tyre. In these cases, a tubeless wheel makes a difference compared to a wheel with inner tube.

Tubeless wheel with Bartubeless system

On a tubeless wheel the object that punctures the tyre also acts as a cap; therefore, the air contained in the wheel can remain pressurised for a long time. This is synonymous with safety because it avoids sudden deflation and consequently problems of road holding.

Wheel with inner tube

Here the situation is different since the nail punctures the tyre and the inner tube under pressure. At this point the air starts to come out of the inner tube and passes through the seat of the nipples that do not have a hermetic seal. In this case, from the moment of the puncture to the moment of the deflation even little time could pass, and you will find yourself having a deflated wheel in the middle of a corner.

This aspect applies to all motorcyclists, both to those who take the classic day trip out of town and especially to those who take trips to places where there are not nearby or reachable assistance services. In both cases, there is a big waste of time and logistical problems which can be solved by adopting the Bartubeless system that allows you to install a tubeless tyre on a spoke wheel.

Repair of a tubeless wheel with Bartubeless system

Repairing a wheel with Bartubeless system and a tubeless tyre in case of puncture, will only take you a few minutes. You just need a simple repair kit with rubber lace; you do not even have to disassemble anything. All you have to do is to remove the nail, insert the lace, reinflate the tyre and you are ready to go.

Repair of a wheel with inner tube

Repairing a hole on a wheel with inner tube requires the removal of the wheel from the bike, the removal of the tyre from the rim, the replacement of the inner tube with a new one and the reassembly of everything. Removing a wheel requires a kickstand and removing a tyre from the rim requires special tools and skills. To put it briefly, if you puncture your wheel, you need to call the tow truck.
