— special rims designed for use with tires without inner tubes.
They have a unique bead and rim bed construction that ensures an airtight fit of the tire and maintains air pressure after inflation. Tubeless rims are often labeled as Tubeless Ready (TLR) or UST and require the use of sealant to fill micropores and small leaks.
Such rims offer many advantages: they reduce the risk of punctures and "snake bites," allow riding at lower tire pressures for better traction, decrease the overall wheel weight, and improve comfort. However, installing a tubeless system requires care — it is important to use special tubeless-compatible tires, sealant, and sometimes tubeless tape to achieve complete airtightness.
