What is the main disadvantage of using an ordinary bicycle tire?
Punctures: Ordinary bicycle tires are more susceptible to punctures than tubeless tires. This is because they use an inner tube, which is a thin, air-filled bladder that is inserted inside the tire. If the inner tube is punctured, the tire will go flat. Tubeless tires, on the other hand, do not use an inner tube, and so they are less likely to flat.
