Schwalbe wants to put an end to the inner tube

Tubeless tires offer less rolling resistance, more grip and greater puncture resistance. These are all reasons that speak in favor of this system - if it weren't for the mess of fitting. Schwalbe wants to make the switch to tubeless even more palatable with an all-inclusive set.

Convert!

This makes tubeless conversion very easy, as Schwalbe promises: The new Schwalbe Tubeless Easy Kit offers everything you need to convert to tubeless. It includes a roll of rim tape, two tubeless valves, two bottles of sealing fluid called Doc Blue, the Easy Fit mounting fluid and a tire lever set. The kit is available to start with in rim tape sizes 21, 23 and 25 millimetres - for all common rims, whether mountain bike or road bike.

Everything at hand

"If you want to convert to tubeless, you have everything you need," says Johannes Binner from Schwalbe Marketing. The rim tape is particularly easy to handle and so stable that one layer is enough to seal the system. The tubeless valve with conical valve base is compatible with many rims on the market. Schwalbe's Tubeless Easy Kit is available from well-stocked bike stores - and all accessories are also available separately.

Really everything included?

Despite the Schwalbe set, the mountain biker willing to convert is missing one thing: the compressor or the high-volume floor pump to get the tires on the rims in one go.
