Long considered difficult to install, high-maintenance, and sometimes disappointing on the road, tubeless tires have come a long way in recent years. Wider tires, lower pressures, compatible rims, more effective sealants, and improved compatibility standards have changed our perspective on this technology. Here’s a look at what has actually improved in 2026—and what still warrants attention. By Guillaume Judas – Photos: depositphotos.com, ©Etienne Schoeman, ©3bikes.frTubeless tires are no longer a novelty in the world of road cycling. The first systems appeared nearly twenty years ago, but their adoption has been particularly slow. I first tested this technology in 2008 with Hutchinson, but I wasn’t 100% convinced—far from it. For a long time, tubeless even gave the impression of being a promising technology, but not necessarily mature enough to win everyone over. Installation that’s sometimes complicated, unreliable sealing, sealant that dries out, punctures that are hard to repair, and tires that are difficult to remove: there were plenty of reasons to stick with tubulars or inner tubes. Even among professionals, the transition to tubeless has been gradual.

Charlie Vickers: ‘Tom Cruise cheated at freediving – that’s the headline’ - The Guardian
You once played Basil Fawlty in an amateur student production of Fawlty Towers at Queen’s College in Melbourne. How amateur was your Basil Fawlty moustache? It was terrible. It was real but it was definitely coloured in – I still have holes in my beard. I’d also shaved my head, so if you look at the early promo posters, you can clearly see I’m wearing a wig. Our theatre was closed so we had to perform in a circus tent in the middle of winter, on an oval in the university grounds, which was all very Fawlty Towers. I’ve always loved comedy. I didn’t really do anything serious until drama school. I always thought there might be a good spin-off with Sauron and Celebrimbor as an odd-couple situation. You play Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Tolkien wrote that Sauron “represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible”. What do you consider wholly evil? A complete disregard for the feelings and wellbeing of other people, to put it simply. It’s the intention, I think. I have horrible flashbacks to playing Aussie rules when I was about 17. I thought people were being quite evil to me at the time.
