Tubeless 1-2-3

Fitting a tubeless tyre system on a mountain bike is really quite simple. The easiest way is if you have a tubeless rim with a tubeless tyre, then you just need to insert the valve into the rim and fit the tyre. Add tubeless sealant for puncture protection and use an air compressor or a high volume pump to seat the tyre onto the rim. If you have a standard rim and want to convert it to tubeless then you need a tubeless conversion kit. This kit has 3 components, the rim strip to seal the rim, the valve that fits into the rim and tubeless sealant to get that air tight seal. Using this kit you can use almost any combination of rim and tyre allowing for many options depending on your need for durability or weight saving. Either way you will get the best performance out of your tyres and get the best possible puncture resistance.
