In late 2000, Stan developed a method of converting an existing mountain bike rim and tire to tubeless use. By removing the traditional tube and replacing it with a molded rubber rim strip to seal the spoke bed of the rim and a liquid tire sealant to seal the tire and prevent punctures, a whole world of opportunities was created.
Converting existing wheels and tires to tubeless ...
-
costs hundreds less than other dedicated tubeless sytems.
-
reduces tire rolling resistance.
-
improves traction, comfort and control of the bike.
-
allows for incredible puncture protection and reduced pinch flats.
-
can reduce rotating weight where it matters most, the outside of the wheel.
The Flow rim strip will fit the ZTR Flow, Flow 29er; Bontrager Rhythm, Duster rims and 2011 Giant S-XC 29 rims.
