If you haven’t joined Bikemagic.com yet, we’ve got a shiny new incentive for you. Courtesy of our new sponsors Hotlines (distributors of Lapierre and other top brands), we’ve got FIVE sets of Joe’s No Flats Tubeless Conversion Kit, worth £39.99 a pop (so to speak) to give away each month for the next three months. So five lucky new members each month will get a free pass to the world of tubeless.

Joe’s No Flats is a retrofittable tubeless kit that you can use with your existing wheels and tyres. Each kit contains two special rim strips with integrated valves (they’ll fit rims between 18 and 23mm internal bead width, which covers most XC/all mountain hoops, and will work with 26 or 29in wheels), plus a big bottle of sealant and a smaller bottle for filling the tyres via the removable valve cores for minimum mess. There’s even a spare valve core in the box.

The claimed benefits include reduced weight, increased traction and the ability to run lower pressures without pinch flats. The sealant will also seal punctures from thorns and the like. It’d certainly be nice to know that you’re not going to have to faff about with inner tubes in the wet and cold at this time of year.
