The MTB bicycles industry has developed a whole lot since 1970, when they were brought to life by their creators – Gary Fisher, Tom Ritchey, Joe Breeze and Charlie Kelly. The specificity of MTBs was back then as it is now, their studded tyres for off-road. However, even though they act much better on rougher terrains, they still have weakness. When you feel that you can conquer the world, you get a flat tyre instead.
To escape this issue, the “Tubeless” technology was invented. This refers to the tyre’s capacity to function as well as (or even better) without an inner tube installed. Just like cars.
However, a bicycle equipped with tubeless tyres and rims by default is much more expensive than a tubed one. The good news is you can make a conversion and transform the regular wheel in a tubeless one.

Why should you do this?
By converting to tubeless, you obtain all the advantages of tubeless tyre at a much smaller price. Practically you won’t need to buy any other rims or tyres which are tubeless; it is enough just to buy a “Tubeless conversion Kit”, which will help you transform “regular” wheels in to “tubeless” wheels.
