This Kit Includes:
- Two Hutchinson Intensive road tubeless tires
- Two 44mm tubeless road valve stem
- Two 2oz Tire Sealant bottles
- One NoTubes 21mm yellow spoke tape
- Detailed instructions
This custom 44mm Presta valve stem to be used when converting most 700c rims to tubeless using NoTubes 21mm yellow tape. This valve will seal most existing rims with inner valve stem hole 6mm - 8mm. Rims with no inner spoke holes will not require the yellow spoke tape just the 44mm valve stems like the Mavic Ksyrium rims.
Deep dish rims will require a valve stem extender(Not available yet, they must have external threads). Valve stem features a removable valve core which allows for application of NoTubes tire sealant.
I’ve heard the only rim you can use to run 700c road tubeless is the Shimano Dura Ace. Is this true?
No, there are three things a tubeless rim can do:
1) A tubeless rim can make tires mount harder or easier
2) A tubeless rim can make inflating harder or easier
3) The biggest thing a tubeless rim should do is once the tires inflated the rim should trap air better when used in a tubeless application. (Not burp or lose air pressure when riding over bumps)
A rim cannot stop tires from stretching and blowing off the rim. If this were the case we would have had tubeless road rims years ago. The rim cannot make the tire bead stronger. This bead strength or stretching problem must be addressed in the tire design. This means you can inflate the Hutchinson tubeless 700c tire on most any standard rim and not have it stretch off the rim.
What do I need?
If your rim has traditional spoke hole drillings start with one roll of NoTubes 21mm yellow spoke tape (will do 2 layers on 2 rims), two 44mm tubeless road valve stem, two Hutchinson Fusion 2 road tubeless tires and 2oz of NoTubes sealant per tire.
If your 700c road rims do not have holes in the inner rim cavity like the,
Mavic Ksyrium all you need are the 44mm road valve stems and Hutchinson Tubeless road tires and sealant.
Remember you can only use the Hutchinson Road Tubeless tire on your rim for tubeless use. It does not matter what other road tire you have it will stretch and blow off the rim.This is currently the only tire you can use.
