AC tubeless wheels take rim technology to the next level. Our mountain
bikers are successfully riding and racing tubeless, and now this
innovation is available for our AC road riders. Our tubeless wheels are
set up with a base layer of AC fiber tape covering the spoke holes and
two layers of AC honey colored tape to seal the rim. Next, install
tubeless ready clincher tires and pump liquid sealant into the system
through our proven AC valves. The liquid sealant replaces the
conventional tube. You may ask how our tubeless system works. Bill Shook
designed the rim with a bead barb running along the edge of the bead
shelf. When installed, the tire firmly pops into position over the bead
barb. The tire bead centers and tightly grips the circumference of the
rim creating a sealed environment to hold the liquid sealant without
burping.
The number one reason to run tubeless wheels is to avoid flat tires. In
the event of a puncture, the sealant quickly fills and closes small
holes in the tire preventing flats caused by glass, metal and other debris. Pinch flats can not occur because a tube is not needed. Our
tubeless system is about speed. It lowers wheel weight at the extreme
outer edge of the rim resulting in lower rolling resistance and better performance. In a traditional clincher set up, the tire and
tube interface moves as the wheel rolls, creating friction and energy
loss. With the AC tubeless set up, there is no frictional energy loss
between the tire and tube because the tube is gone. Liquid sealant is
lighter than a tube. You can ride lighter weight tires with our tubeless
system because you don’t have to use tires made with heavy, inflexible
puncture layers. Overall, our tubeless system is lighter and the wheel
will spin up faster with less rider energy output. And the best part is flat tires are past history.
