met a few ebike mountain bikers at weekend, they were all tubless and have never looked back, one said he has not had a puncture in the four years he has had the tyres. not sure to convert or not, quite happy with my shwalbe puncture proof tyres, just wondering what other ebikers think.

i run tubeless and not had a flat in 5 years but i also run super gravity tyres for extra protection and id never go back to using tubes.


i did use stans notubes but over time it corrodes any metal with no paint.

Why should a tubeless tyre be less prone to punctures than an ordinary one?
Or is it that they do pick up nails etc. just don't deflate?
