Product Information

Narrower rims will cause a tire to also have a narrower width, with less air volume within the tire, and a rounder tire tread profile than designed for. Two rubber compounds. The centerline tread features a firmer rubber compound that rolls fast and resists tread wear while the side knobs are composed of softer, slower-rebounding rubber to improve control and grip. The “that’s good enough” method of inflating tires. Pinching your tire, regardless of how many years you’ve been riding, is not an accurate method of determining tire pressure. Use a digital gauge and write down the pressures before you ride so that you’ll have something to reference next time you get ready to ride. SmartForm C3 Alloy: Simple yet sophisticated aluminium construction yields a light, lively frame that outperforms anything in its class.

When we a design tire, we do so around a specific inner rim width that is most applicable and commonly used in conjunction with the tire width. This is also the combination in which we determine and name the width of the tire. However, that combination may not reflect the rim width you have on your bike or are now looking to upgrade your bike with.

Often used front and rear by cross-country racers who prioritize minimal rolling resistance with the tradeoff of having less traction up front. Make sure tire bead is sitting in the deepest part of the rim profile. This is often referred to as the “valley” of the rim. No. Comp and Race type tires are only made for use with inner tubes. Do not attempt to set up Comp or Race tires tubeless. If you want to run a tubeless set up, you need the Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) version of the tires. Which length TCS valve stem should I use? You’ll want to increase pressure in narrower (and therefore lower volume) tires as a mean of providing additional support, while lowering the pressure in wider (and therefore higher volume) tires will provide more traction without losing cornering support. Longer-wearing rubber designed to maximize the rolling efficiency of a tire without sacrificing traction.

All of our alloy rims work great with a 34mm valve stem. If you are using a deeper dish rim, like our CZR i23 rim, then we recommend the 46mm long valve stem. CZR i30 rims accept either length of valve. Which width TCS Tape should I use for my rim? Loss of substantial tire pressure over a few days is likely indicative of ineffective/old tire sealant or air seeping through the tire sidewall. In these rare cases, we suggest removing the complete tire and wheel system from the bike, adding the proper amount of fresh sealant, then shaking the tire to ensure sealant has covered the entirety of the sidewall. Simply spinning the tire on the bike will only push the majority of the sealant more towards the tread region of the tire, where air loss is less common. Placing sealant on both sides of the tire bead can aid in installation by serving as a lubricant between the rim and tire interface. Wider rims will cause a tire to also have a wider width, with more air volume within the tire and a flatter tire tread profile than designed for. Being careful to avoid damaging the tubeless tape, use a tire lever right next to the valve stem and pull the tire bead over the rim wall. If the tire bead is tight against the rim, you can slide the tire lever along the rim surface to free a large length of the tire bead from the rim.For example, our Exposure 30 tire has a tire section width of 30mm on a 19mm inner rim width, however it has a tire section width of 32mm on a 23mm inner rim width.
