Tubeless Bliss with Miles Davis

Tubeless Bliss with Miles Davis

This entry is part 8 of 21 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #38

I have probably ridden a conservative 10,000km per year for the last 19 years, so next year I should hit the big 200K. I’ve had some amazing rides, seen some incredible places and met some great people, and I feel pretty blessed for all of this.

Most of the kilometres have been on GS boxer twins, from 1150s to 1200s and now 1250 models, and they all run a tubeless-tyre system as standard.In all of those kilometres I’ve probably had between 30 and 40 punctures, and repaired another 30 or 40 for other people. Guess how many times I have had to remove a wheel to fix a flat?

The answer is ‘once’.

It’s very rare a tubeless tyre needs to be removed to repair a puncture.

Be prepared

It sounds pretty amazing, but it’s true.
