Tubeless Conversion
Although the rim is not specifically made to be tubeless compatible, it can be converted through the following steps:
- Either purchase Schrader-specific tubeless valves for a 8.5mm valve hole or take care installing a regular tubeless valve as follows:
- Choose a valve with a conical sealing head that seals the larger hole well
- Use a tubeless valve compression ring with a step design (see image 4 below) so that the valve centers better in the larger hole
- 30 mm self-adhesive tubeless rim tape is recommended. It should overlap by two layers at the valve hole, especially if using a presta tubeless valve.
- Pierce a small hole through the tape at the valve hole. Make sure the valve stem seals properly at the rim bed.
- Follow the regular steps for tubeless set up, found here: https://support.specialized.com/tires/en/tubeless-conversion/installation-tips
