Buy sealants and accessories for tubeless

A sealant or a sealing emulsion (latex milk) seals smaller cuts or punctures quickly and reliably. When it comes to the composition of the liquid, the manufacturers pay attention to environmental compatibility. Our shop carries tubeless accessories from renowned manufacturers such as Tufo, NoTubes, Continental, e.thirteen etc. From a single tubeless valve, the desired tubeless rim tape to the complete tubeles kit from about 40 EUR upwards (this set includes a bottle of sealant, adhesive tape and rim tapes). Whatever it is you're looking for, be it accessories for your tubeless tires on the MTB or road bike, we can offer you the manufacturers' extensive assortment.

Are you already familiar with MaXalami?

Our store team worked with the "miracle weapon" and would like to introduce the MaXalami "sausage" that is presented in the HIBIKE Blog as a miracle weapon against snakebites and stings, where a sealant can't provide remedy as quickly as required.

Bike saddle bags

Find your matching bike saddle bag for your road or MTB bike here. In this case, it does not matter which bike type you are since we all like it practical. They are quickly fastened, do not disrupt and do not weigh much. Small saddle bags have a volume from a tiny 0.3 litres or 0.5 litres (sufficient for small stuff) to larger bags with 1.4 litres or 1.9 litres (here, you can also stow away your mobile phone or the wind jacket). You'll typically transport small tools with a small saddle bag, such as CO2 cartridges, tyre lever, repair kit or the key ring, small change or one or two hoses. They are helpful and practical if you want to do without your backpack on short tours or when you are a road biker, you anyway won't be on the road with ballast on your back. Furthermore, there are "seat post bags", which can take quite a lot more (approximately 6 litre bags), for example the Off Road Bag from VAUDE.
When making your buying decision, you have to take into consideration which size you need so that the look of the bag won't bother you too much, if applicable. And place emphasis on special features, such as for example the properties water-resistant (all the way up to waterproof) or the possibility to fasten a tail light/flashing light. For the retro fans among us, Brooks offers saddle bags in the popular retro design, if you wish, you can also get them made of leather, and if you like it practical, Topeak offers the complete saddle bag inclusive tools.

Be careful at seat posts which can be lowered: Trail fans, who ride on sigletracks with seat posts which can be lowered, probably are not among the target group for saddle bags. But an especially small bag, which also looks quite good (e. g. a small Evoc 0.7 litre saddle bag) is compatible with a height adjustable seat post as well. If the bag is larger and has an additional fastening on the seat post, they could get in each other's way.

Mounting of a saddle bag made easy

As a rule, the saddle bag is fastened with Velcro fasteners or straps underneath the saddle: Just mount it to the saddle rails and often additionally to the seat post for an optimal hold. Ortlieb for example offers special saddle holders (a small plate with two simple screws), where the bag can very easily be clicked in. Specialized, who recently started to ensure small stowage space in the bike with their SWAT system, also offers similar solutions. A saddle bag, which especially fits SWAT-compatible seats is also part of the SWAT series.

Numerous manufacturers, such as VAUDE, Ortlieb, Evoc, Topeak, Deuter, Specialized or Bontrager offer saddle bags. We have numerous bags in different sizes and looks in our range of products and offer you favourable prices, discover the selection now!

buy rim tape for less online

Rim tapes are there to cover the spoke holes, otherwise the bicycle tube would push through the spoke holes and tear on a regular basis. All you have to do is making sure the tube is protected. The rim tape is either made of fabric or plastic (PVC). While fabric rim tapes can be glued onto the rim (polyamide rim tape) like an adhesive tape, the plastic rim tape sticks to the rim like rubber due to its own elastic tension, and the tube valve ensures it doesn't shift. Important: Be it road tires, MTB, DH or fatbike tires: The rim tapes you buy should match the rim size! Please pay attention to the packaging unit as some rim tapes are sold individually and others as a set of 2.

Buy road bike tubes at competitive prices

Here you will find our range of tubes for road bikes. The usual types of valves and triathlon wheels are French valves (SV ) also called Sclaverand valve. This thin valve is best suited to road bike wheels. High profile wheel rims, like those preferred for triathlon wheels, often need a valve extension or an extra long valve.

When buying a road bike tube, pay attention to the size. 28 inch or 26 inch wheel sizes are usually used on road bikes. Nevertheless, manufacturers use different methods to indicate the size. A 28 inch wheel (the English measure) is referred to as a 700 C by French manufacturers. Equally important when choosing tubes is the width of wheel rim. Of course when talking about road bikes the weight of the material and also of the tube is the first topic of conversation. The lighter the tube the sooner you will be bothered by punctures. We carry a huge range of road bike tubes at great prices. Road bike tubes from Continental, Schwalbe, Maxxis, Specialized and Co.

Buy the right MTB tube at competitive prices.

Here in our Online-Shop for MTB bicycle tubes you will find all tubes that are used for mountain bike wheels. Whether you are searching for a tube for MTB 26 inch, 29 inch or for a a Fatbike. But even if you are searching for a tube for a small bicycle like for example a 20 inch tube for a children's bike or a child trailer. This is the right place!

Choosing a tube from Butyl or Latex?

Bicycle tubes are made from two substances, either from Butyl or from Latex. A Latex tube is lighter, more flexible and initially less likely to puncture. However Latex rubber deteriorates quickly and as a result loses air more quickly.

A tube made from butyl is better at retaining air because it is made of synthetic rubber. Previously this material had a weight disadvantage, today however butyl bike tubes are available in lightweight versions. The choice between a Latex and a butyl inner tube is in the end a question of personal preference.

The right choice of valve with MTB tubes

In choosing the right tube, make sure it has an appropriate valve. The valve must fit through the hole on the wheel rim. The usual valves on MTBs are SV, AV or also DV. These abbreviations stand for

• AV = auto valve/Schrader valve (car type valve)
• SV=Sclaverand valve/French valve
• DV=Dunlop valve

In discussing bike valves, we also need to say something about tyre pressure. The durability of the tube is affected by which air pressure you pump into the tyre. The higher the tyre pressure, the lower the friction with the ground, on the other hand at lower tyre pressure you have a better grip on wet and slippery ground.

It depends on the purpose

Depending on the purpose you should choose a suitable mountain bike tube or a touring bike tube. The tubes differ in terms of size (diameter and width), valve, material, quality and durability as well as thickness of the tube wall. Especially light tubes, called "ultra light-tubes" are particularly sensitive. A downhill tube or a freeride tube on the other hand is relatively heavy but also very durable.

Spoiled for choice: MTB bike tubes

The range of bike tubes is huge. The choice of brands leaves nothing to be desired, we stock MTB tubes from Continental, Specialized, Schwalbe, Surly and and and...! Now you have the choice!

Buy wired tires for 28 inch road bikes

Which arguments speak in favour of the bead wire tires on the road bike rim?
If you feel comfortable with the common road bike rim (hook-bead rim), you'll have the choice between two tyre variants: The bead wire tire is one of the variants, the foldable is the other. Where is the difference between wired-on and folded tyres on the road bike? As the name already says, there is a metal wire incorporated into the bulge (carcass) of the road bike's wired-on-tyre, which CANNOT be folded and basically, it has its round, firm shape. This is why the tyre can only poorly be transported on tours - the biggest "disadvantage" is quickly explained. Furthermore, they weigh a little bit more than the foldable ones due to the use of metal, but they outdo the foldable ones in terms of price. Here, the wired-on-tyre can score: It can be bought at lower prices! And it is said that it is easier to mount a wired-on-tyre than a folded tyre due to its pre-defined shape. Other than that there are no further differences. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the rolling resistance when choosing your tyre and also that the tyre is low-wear and as puncture-protected as possible. Whether you choose the wired-on or the folded variant, whichever you prefer is a matter of taste. Here in our shop, all top wired-on-tyres from Continental Grand Prix or Ultra Sport via Specialized tyres up to the popular Schwalbe models are available, at low prices in abundance. Besides the typical 28" exterior diameters (French mesaurement 700 mm), the occasional smaller road bike tyres are also available, such as 26 inch Continental tyres.

Wire bead tire, tire for a trekking or city bike

Whether it's the classic tire for the city bike or a touring tire for your trekking bike: Here you'll find the complete range of wheel sizes for wired-on trekking tires from 16 - 29". The wired-on tire differs from its foldable mate due to the wire mesh inside the tire bead, which gives the tire its shape. Therefore you can't fold the tire. Consequently, a wired-on tire is not an option in an emergency situation when you're on the road, because it can't be stored in the backpack. It has its fixed, round shape. However, the given shape makes it easier to pull onto the rim, which is appreciated by many trekking cyclists.
The intended purpose is critically important in choosing a tire! You should determine what kind of biking tours you take part in most often. After all, breaking onroad circuit race records with bulky trekking tires and using smooth racing tires in an offroad terrain makes little sense. Thus, the first question you'll be asked in a sales talk is "when you go cycling, do you prefer it to be onroad or offroad?" Indecisive customers can purchase all-round tires with the best possible capacity to fulfill all the requirements, but that doesn't mean they can be used universally. It is impossible to score equally in each terrain.
Can you describe the performance you want from a trekking tire? When it comes to trekking tires or even everyday tires, we tend to notice that we often show too little interest in the tire. It is there and it needs to roll, preferably for many years and without trouble. This puts great emphasis on breakdown protection and a high durability for trekking tires. Manufacturers here, such as the established companies Continental, Schwalbe or Michelin, continue to develop new rubber compounds for better performance characteristics as well as protective inlays to ensure durability.
