Traverse Set Up & FAQ

Set Up

Tubeless Compatibility

All Traverse wheels are tubeless ready. Tubeless rim tape and valve stems are included with wheelsets. Note that Traverse SL II and HD wheels use a specific threaded valve for optimal tubeless set up. Extra threaded tubeless valves are available. Standard tubeless valves are also compatible.

Rim Width & Approved Tire Sizes

Recommended Inflation Pressure

Generally speaking, lower tire pressures provide better control on wet or loose terrain, as well as a smoother ride. Higher tire pressures provide better puncture protection. Check your tires frequently to ensure your tire pressure is in the appropriate range.

The right tire pressure for your ride is personal and depends on your riding style, the terrain you'll be riding and the conditions of that terrain on the day you're riding. What you see below is a recommendation of a starting point pressure, a "ballpark" if you will, based on rider + gear weight and tire width. You'll also see a decal on your wheels indicating maximum inflation pressure. Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure of your tires or rims. Enjoy your ride!

Mountain Tire Pressure Data Table

*Crossed out cells: tire size not recommended, as the rider's weight may require a tire pressure that is too high for the tire or rim.
