What did the bike shop where you got the bike from tell you?

For whatever you have, what rim & tire do you have?

If really tubeless, it will say tubeless on both the rim and tire.

Post some photos of what you have.

If it has air, then it has a valve.

There are some solid rubber tubes used mostly on kids bikes. Extremely heavy. I think you just pry them on and off using tire irons.

If you lost all the air in the tire, sometimes the tire will rotate, usually the valve becomes crooked, but technically it can be sucked inside the tire. Just remove, repair, and position properly.

Deep rims may use a valve extender which normally is left in place, but might be able to be removed once the tube is inflated. See the difference between internal and external valve extenders.

With the external valve extender, the valve is normally left open, but apparently it can sometimes wiggle closed causing headaches. You may be able to just push something into the valve hole to bleed off the valve even without the extender, but you'll need either a long valve or valve extender to re-inflate.

Hi,

Wheel man told that it is having solid tyre/tube.

So, it does not require valve stem.

What we have to do , if the air level goes down. is the solid tube of type use and throw?.

Thanks

Probably, nobody can explain better than that.

If it is solid, then there is no air level to go down.

IiDo you understand the word "solid"?
A normal tube is exactly that - a tube. A circular balloon. Filled with air.
Solid, it's the same straight through. Like cutting through a bagel. Or a sausage. No air inside that CAN go down.
Ride until the pattern - the tread - is gone.
