Tubeless novice here, always used tubes, recently got the Endurace CFR with Zipp 353 hookless wheels. Thinking of changing the tyres but have never changed a tubeless tyre. All the videos I’ve watched there’s a small screw which keeps the tubeless valve fixed in position, these Zipp wheels don’t have one? Is this normal and if I remove the tyre will it just pop out?

    It appears you are looking for bike fitting help. Please make sure you post as screenshot of the Canyon size chart for your bike, with your point in it. See [this example](https://imgur.com/a/ALUfXyy)

  2. It should come in the bag that have all the extras with the Zipp wheels manuals 🙂

    It looks like it’s a tubeless ready rim but not tubeless mounted yet. So with an inner tube, and the valve you see is from the inner tube. To go tubeless you will need to change buy a tubeless valve etc. Not a big deal, easy manipulations

  4. If you just got this bike or at least got it like this it’s definitely not tubeless. Bikes usually come with tubes initially so the sealant doesn’t coagulate while it’s in a warehouse.

    Have fun setting it up tubeless if you still want to!

    Apparently it’s designed for tubeless but can be used with tubes too so presumably this has an inner tube inside! Thanks everyone

  6. Canyon normally dont come Tube less but tubeless ready.
    Without the screw you will run Flat.

    Bit nevertheless. Tubeless or not is no big differnence
    1. Open valve and get rid of the Air
    2 Remove tire and Tube if there is one
    3 clean it up
    4 install new tire and add 40-60ml sealant
    5 put it to max pressure to let it set propperly
    6 put it to the right and pressure and take 5km (Schwalbe suggests 20km) Minimum ride to let everything sattle optimal.

    I have the same bike and wheels and immediately updated to tubeless with conti gp5000 str tires.
    Valves are included with the bike and the whole process took me 15 min.
    I just could use a normal pump.

    Love these wheels

  8. Tubeless is cool but is a pain in the ass. If you’re riding mostly on road stay with tubes.
