Hey guys have a question. These rims are Excalibur anti-snakebite and I thought they were tubeless. When my dad got a flat, there was a tube in there. The tires are gearx and they say "Only to be mounted on hooked rims". He wants new tires but i dont know what to look for. What kind of tires should i be looking at?




:confused:

What type of riding? What kind of riding terrain does your father/you do.

I would say for xc, look at what Michelin has to offer or continental. Gravity based, Maxxis or Michelin.

Even though the pic didnt load, I would bet that the rims arent made for tubeless. Installing the tires on hooked rims is a given...
