Is my tire Tubeless?
Hi Bike Forums
I'm a little confused about something and could use some ideas.
I have a Salsa Fargo. I was always under the impression that the tires, while "tubules ready", had inner tubes in them from the factory.
I have a slow leak in my front wheel. I had a spare tube that should fit. So I figured it would be easy to just swap the tube.
However, when I tried to remove the tire from the rim the sidewalls of the tires are like.. GLUED to the rim. They will not budge under a good amount of force. This instantly made me wonder if this tire is tubeless.
to test, I filled the tire with air and then backed off the nut on the valve and pressed the valve in, expecting air to come out - but none escaped.
The tire is a ranger 2.25 29" Fast Rolling Light
Any hints on my next step?
