A tubeless bicycle tire system requires a compatible tire, an airtight rim—capable of being sealed at the valve stem, spoke holes (if they go all the way through the rim) and the tire bead seat. Liquid sealant is added inside the tire to prevent leaking around the bead and to seal holes from small punctures, [5] but the sealant can be messy ...
Tubeless tires are not immune to flatting. In this video, Matt Phillips gives you a quick look at the simple process of plugging a flat tubeless tire.
Liquid sealants are often injected into tubeless tires to improve sealing and to stop leaks caused by punctures. An advantage is that pinch flats are less common in a tubeless setup because they require a hole through the tire carcass, not just the inner tube.
The rise of tubeless tires has not gone unnoticed in the gravel scene. Tubeless sealant's ability to effortlessly seal punctures, as well as run lower tire pressure has made it more common than traditional inner tubes in modern gravel cycling.
The Presta valve (also French valve (FV) or Sclaverand valve) is a type of tire valve commonly found on high pressure bicycle inner tubes and is commonly used on tubeless setups. It consists of an outer valve stem and an inner valve body. A lock nut to secure the stem at the wheel rim and a valve cap may also be present.
A water-based sealant can be injected into the tire also through the valve stem. This contains less harmful chemicals and no aerosol gas. The sealant can then be driven into the tire using an air compressor. A flat tire can be repaired by a patch or plug; [4] or the tire may repair itself. Self-sealing tires work on punctures up to a certain size.
