#1 65 wire wheels tubeless?

Post by jagwit » Tue Jun 15, 2021 1:20 pm

Would the wire wheels of 65 S1 XKE be tubeless or require tubes?
Best Regards

if they are original they will require tubes and rim tape. Some repro wheels are tubeless but you need to check with the manufacturer. Basically if the spoke/rim joint is sealed then you can use tubless.
