TUBELESS ADVANTAGES

We have believed in tubeless technology right from the beginning - putting a lot of pioneering research and development into this area. Now we are convinced: Tubeless is the tire technology of the future! This is true for mountain and gravel bikes and especially for road bikes.

YOUR ADVANTAGES:

Less rolling resistance. This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even lower than in super-light competition tires.
More grip. Lower air pressure increases the contact patch. This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more grip and control in critical situations and on rough trails.
High puncture safety. Sudden loss of air through bursting tubes or valve tear off is impossible. At the same time puncture protection liquid seal punctures within a few tenths of a second whilst riding.

SAFE IN OPERATION, EASY TO ASSEMBLE

As experts in tubeless technology, we work hand in hand with wheel and rim manufacturers as well as industry committees. We check the compatibility of wheels, rims and tires at our in-house test center. The results are summarized in the compatibility overview. If a wheel or rim is missing from the overview, we would be happy to hear about it at info@schwalbe.com

TIRE AND WHEEL COMPATIBILITY OVERVIEW

TUBELESS EASY WITH MICROSKIN OR SNAKESKIN

MicroSkin (up to 50mm tire width) or SnakeSkin (from 50mm tire width) cover the entire carcass and enable Tubeless Easy operation.
Tubeless tires for cross, gravel and touring bikes are much lighter and faster.
The MicroSkin and SnakeSkin provide high and maximum cutting protection respectively for the side walls.

Fit the tire as usual onto the rim. Be cautious when applying the tire levers.

Important: Apply assembly liquid to both tire beads before inflating (1).

Make sure the valve is between the beads when inflating (2).

Start inflating with a powerful burst of air (track pump or compressor) (3).

The tire engages audibly on the rim. Using the rim line, make sure the tire is properly in place (4).

Deflate the tire a little. Remove the valve core (valve key is supplied with Doc Blue) and fill in 60 ml of the puncture protection liquid Doc Blue (5).

For road bike tubes 30 ml are enough.

Strictly observe the indications regarding maximum inflation pressure of tire and rim!
Do not use CO2 cartridges.
CO2 has a negative effect on the puncture protection liquid.
Be careful in general when using the sealing liquid. It easily causes stains on clothing or pieces of furniture.

TUBELESS VALVES

The new tubeless valves are available in stem lengths of 40 mm, 60 mm and 100 mm and their design makes fitting them a breeze. There is a suitable valve solution for every depth of rim.

The valve base can be firmly installed in the rim using the hex key (4 mm) without over-tightening. The shortened cone ensures a low installation height and therefore more space for the tire beads. Thanks to the large valve inner diameter (4 mm), the tire can be inflated particularly effectively with air and sealing fluid.

TIRE LEVER

Makes changing tires a snap. The new shape and surface of the tire lever makes the assembly and disassembly of a tire more enjoyable. For both tires and hands too!

The new tire levers are especially helpful in difficult assembly operations. Clip it onto the rim, to fix the already mounted section of the tire, and it won‘t slide out when the last section is levered onto the rim.

Patent Pending.

DOC BLUE PROFESSIONAL

Ideally suited for Tubeless conversions. Produced by Stan’s NoTubes! It can also be used as a puncture preventative for bicycle tubes, tubular tires and standard Tubeless systems.

60 ml bottle, Art.-No. 3710
200 ml bottle, Art.-No. 3714
500 ml bottle, Art.-No. 3711

APPLICATION: For preventive puncture protection and tubeless conversion. Filling quantities: tires from 23-60mm —> 60-90 ml/tire, from 62-100mm —> 90-120 ml/tire. Shake well! Effective up to 7 months. Unsuitable for significant defects (cuts/bursts). Tubeless conversion only with wheels and tires suitable for tubeless applications.

Our hints: Check tire pressure and sealant regularly. Depending on the weather conditions and mileage, the durability of the sealant varies and the safety factor shrinks.

Our formula for stressless riding: Refill every month with approx. 10 ml sealant through the valve, so there is no need to demount the tire.

TUBELESS RIM TAPE

The tubeless rim tape is extremely user friendly and at the same time very high pressure resistant. Even on road bikes a single ply of tape is sufficient.
