Tubeless are pneumatic tires. This is the right choice of manufactures for mountain, road and touring bike. Asama is going to show you how easy it is to set up, without any of mess.

Tubeless is a wheel without inner tube, only tire and rim. If you want to get a tubeless, you would spend a high price to buy something, such as: tire, rim for it, valve, rim tape, puncture protection liquid and track pump or compressor. Some rims are designed separately for tubeless but its price is high.

The tubeless offers great benefits, especially on tubeless for terrain bike. When you ride a bike with the wheel as usual on tough terrain, it is likely to smash the inner tube between the ground and your rim and cause a puncture. As well, if tires are overinflated, it will cause more stress on the tire itself, which can lead to leak and blowout. These issues will take a lot of time to patch a tire or even replace new one.

When using tubeless, you would not have made effort to overinflate because this brings noticeable advantages in comfort and smoothness. As if sharp objects pinch into your tire, liquid sealants are used inside the tire that serves to re-seal punctures. Besides, tubeless is even lower than in super-light competition tires. So, cyclists are very interested in these ones.


The process which installs tubeless is somewhat complex and worth the effort, it saves much time when your tire meets a trouble.

The first step is to stick the tubeless tape rim accordingly it covers the hole of spokes. You need to choose right size of rim tape that suits to the size of rim.

The next step is to set nipple. Using paper – knife pricks a small hole at position sticking valve. After that, you install valve and unscrew tightly.

Put the tire into the rim, but there is still a gap to pour liquid sealant. Then, you roll the wheel up to work a remaining part.

Finally, you use hand pump or electric pump to inflate quickly. If inflating slowly, the air will out of it. Pump it up! Inflate your tire using firm and powerful pump strokes.

Now, you won’t worry about problems as flat tire when you ride. Though it cannot be perfect absolutely, it will reduce many bad situations.

If you meet a case which the wheel itself is not able to re–seal puncture, so you should bring tubeless kit. So patching a tubeless tire will be easier and it takes less time than standard tire.

Further, you also need to a spare inner tire to use when it has many big leaks that cannot patch
