2. Tubeless tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubeless_tire

   A tubeless bicycle tire system requires a compatible tire, an airtight rim—capable of being sealed at the valve stem, spoke holes (if they go all the way through the rim) and the tire bead seat. Liquid sealant is added inside the tire to prevent leaking around the bead and to seal holes from small punctures, [5] but the sealant can be messy ...

3. Tire bead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_bead

   Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the rim. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles, etc. are made with a small slot or groove into which the tire bead sits. When the tire is properly inflated, the air pressure within the tire keeps the bead in this groove. Reducing tire air pressure is a frequent practice among off-road vehicle ...

5. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1] The surface of the bead creates a seal between the tire and rim on radial and bias-ply tires. Often, the bead can become stuck to the rim after rusting or corrosion occurs, requiring the use of a bead breaker in order to be removed.

6. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_tire

   Tubeless tires are primarily used on mountain bikes due to their ability to use low air pressure for better traction without getting pinch flats. [15] Tubeless tires work similarly to clinchers in that the bead of the tire is specifically designed to interlock into a corresponding tubeless rim, but without an inner tube.

7. Bicycle wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_wheel

   A tubeless tire system requires an airtight rim — capable of being sealed at the valve stem, spoke holes (if they go all the way through the rim) and the tire bead seat — and a compatible tire. Universal System Tubeless (UST), originally developed by Mavic, Michelin and Hutchinson [11] for mountain bikes is the most common system of ...
