Which tires
My son recently got his first bike that's taking 700c wheels
A lot of his bike races, especially his triathlons are held in schools so they normally cycle around the car park which can include quite a few speed bumps.
Would normal tires be better than tubeless tires for the bumps if anyone has experience of using them over those things?
thanks

If he were mountain biking I would consider Tubeless tires for sure. Tubless tires are certainly becoming the standard in road racing too. But maybe I would think of the expense. Tubeless tires and wheel sets are pretty much on the expensive side of things. I think you could get into competitive wheel sets using tubes a little cheaper than tubeless... For now...
