Going tubeless with your road wheels
We stock, carry, and sell our share of Norco road bikes over the course of the season and we keep pretty close tabs on what’s going on in that part of the cycling world. The inexperienced commentator might argue that road bikes rarely change but that’s obviously not the case, with companies like SRAM making a significant investment by introducing its Force gruppo to the world this past year.
Similarly, a number of manufacturers introduced the Road Tubeless system last year after many years in development and, based on early reviews, it’s set to make the same sort of inroads into the roadie market that the UST system has made with mountain bikes.
CyclingNews.com has a review of the new Shimano Dura-Ace wheelset which, it so happens, is compatible with Hutchinson’s Fusion 2 road tires.
Check this stuff out, even if you’re not a roadie — it’ll give you a better idea about the whole tubeless concept.
