Any one know if Wolf wheels are tubeless ?

Because I bought tyres for mine and stuck new tubes in cause they had them in anyway and never thought to ask for tubed cases.
Now I have tubeless cases with tubes in and I got two flat tyres in three days because the ribs inside the cases have rubbed the tubes and holed them.
Was wondering could I just stick tubeless valves in and chuck the tubes.?

It depends.. some are and some aren't. If ye look about the rim it should be stamped on it what they are. Ah 'think' ah've got a photie somewheres but not sure! Ah'll see if ah can find it.
 
Aye it's bin done before but can't remember if it was summit to do with tubed or tubless tyres or summit about punctures???
Hmmmm.. just went out and had a look at me wheels and can't see owt stamped on them sayin' if they're tubless or not... unless it's on the other side!

Thanks for that, Mine look like they would hold tubeless tyres and keep the air in, No leaks when blowing them up only from the valve hole and it struggles for ages to dispell trapped air from between tube and tyre after blowing up so I recon theys tubless rims.
They have a circle with summat in it stamped somewhere on the rim I remember from when I painted them.

They had tubed tyres on when I bought them, not sure if there's any markings on 'em, seem to recall something stamped on the rims; I'll have a look in the daylight and see :)

Mines got tubes in em:p
They had tubed tyres on em when I bought em so I bought some new tyres (tubeless:doh:) and stuck em on with new tubes in em...result..punctures:(
 
ANR5593PM are tube type, ANR4583PM are tubeless.


"Was wondering could I just stick tubeless valves in and chuck the tubes.?"

No - if they're tube type rims you must use tubes. Tubeless rims have a ridge that prevents the bead slipping off if it gets a sideways knock. If you hit an obstruction on the road and it dislodges the bead then it may cause a blowout. ....so I'm told!

I'm in the same situation as you, I have a set of tubeless tyres on tube type rims, with tubes, and have had punctures so I'm looking for tubeless rims.
