Time to go Tubeless! We're the experts.
At Urban Pedaler, we specialize in tubeless tyre conversions for mountain, road, and gravel bikes, offering an industry-leading service based on over 25 years of riding, installing, and servicing tubeless systems. Tubeless technology is a game-changer for performance-focused cyclists, and we believe it is the best solution for reducing the risk of punctures and improving ride quality. While almost universal among the mountain bike crowd for the last 20 years, it's finally come of age for road bikes and gravel. We have 100% confidence it's better than tube setups, and with the right guidance and tools anyone can benefit from a tubeless upgrade.
**Why Choose Tubeless?**
- Run lower pressures, better traction, less rolling resistance
- MUCH more comfortable over rough surfaces & bumps, lower rider fatigue
- Eliminate most punctures, tyre self-heals while you ride
- Big punctures can be fixed with a handy plug within seconds
Tubeless tyres provide several benefits that traditional clinchers with inner tubes simply can't match. First and foremost, they greatly reduce the chance of flats caused by punctures. This is because the tyres are sealed directly to the rim, and we use high-quality sealants that automatically plug small punctures as they happen. For the rare larger puncture that sealant can’t instantly fix, a simple plug is all you need to be back on the road in minutes—no messy tube replacements necessary! Plus, the ability to ride with lower tyre pressure increases comfort and traction without risking pinch flats.
**Experienced Hands, Top-Quality Materials**
Our team has honed the art of tubeless conversion with decades of hands-on experience, ensuring that we deliver a highly reliable, long-lasting setup for each bike. We use premium products like the best sealants, rim tapes, and valve stems that guarantee airtight performance and reduce the risk of leaks or future issues. Our careful attention to detail during installation means you can ride with confidence, knowing your tyres are perfectly sealed and ready for any terrain.
We carry and install tyres from trusted brands like Vittoria, WTB, Maxxis, Continental, and Kenda. These brands are renowned for their high-performance and durability, making them ideal for cyclists who expect the best in grip, speed, and reliability, whether you're hitting the trails, crushing gravel roads, or pushing your limits on the pavement.
**Tubeless Misconceptions: It’s Simpler Than You Think**
We understand that some riders may hesitate to switch to tubeless due to misconceptions about complexity or messiness, or have maybe had bad experiences in the past with tubeless that was not installed properly or without the best parts. While it’s true that older tubeless setups could be tricky, modern systems have come a long way, and with our expert installation, you won’t have to worry about any hassle. In fact, once set up, tubeless is actually easier to maintain than traditional tyres. Punctures become less of an issue, and you only have to carry a spare tube for the most catastrophic of punctures where the tyre is compromised.
**90-Day Trouble-Free Guarantee**
To further build your confidence, we offer a **90-day trouble-free guarantee** on all tubeless conversions. If you experience any issues related to the tubeless system within this period, simply bring your bike back in, and we'll take care of it—no extra charge. We want you to feel absolutely certain that making the switch to tubeless is worth it, and our guarantee reflects our commitment to your satisfaction.
**Affordable and Performance-Focused**
Our tubeless conversion service is competitively priced at **$70 per wheel or $140 per bike**, making it an excellent investment for riders who want enhanced performance, fewer flats, and peace of mind. Whether you're racing, commuting, or exploring, tubeless tyres will improve your cycling experience. This includes the labour & materials, you provide the wheels & tubeless-ready tyres.
**Tubeless Repair**
We strongly recommend carrying a Dynaplug or Stan's Dart system for any rider using tubeless tyres. These plug systems are widely recognized for their superior ease of use, small and lightweight design, making them ideal for quick repairs on the go. Both systems fit easily in a saddle bag or jersey pocket and can save your ride by instantly plugging larger punctures that sealant can’t handle on its own. Their simplicity ensures that anyone, from casual riders to seasoned pros, can fix a flat in seconds without the mess of traditional patching. What makes these systems so popular is their universal compatibility across the cycling community, working seamlessly with various tyre brands and sizes.
**Rim Protection Systems**
For riders who push their bikes to the limit, whether on long-travel mountain bikes, e-bikes, or gravel rigs, we highly recommend rim protection systems like CushCore and Panzer. These inserts offer an extra layer of protection for your rims, especially when navigating rocky or aggressive terrain. They work by dampening impacts, which reduces the risk of pinch flats and rim damage, allowing you to ride with lower tyre pressures for better traction and control. Rim protection systems also improve overall ride quality by stabilizing the tyre bead, which enhances cornering precision and absorbs shock from rough trails. Whether you’re tackling technical descents or covering long distances on gravel, CushCore and Panzer offer peace of mind and improved performance, making them a must-have for riders who demand more from their bikes.
**Get the best advice**
Having the right gear is important, but equally crucial is knowing how to use it. That’s where our experienced staff come in. We’re here to guide you through the ins and outs of tubeless systems, ensuring you feel confident on every ride. From explaining how to properly use a plug system like Dynaplug or Stan's Dart to offering expert advice on tyre pressures for different terrain and riding styles, we’ll make sure your tubeless setup is optimized for performance.
