How to Go Tubeless on Your Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To go tubeless on your mountain bike, you need to remove the inner tube from your tire, install tubeless rim tape, insert a tubeless valve stem, and add sealant to the tire. The sealant will seal any small punctures automatically, so you won’t have to stop and fix a flat on the trail. You’ll need a tubeless-compatible wheelset and tires, or you can convert your existing setup with a tubeless conversion kit. After adding sealant, it’s important to periodically check and refill it to ensure optimum performance.
