TR usually stands for Tubeless Ready. But you can use a TR tire with a tube
Otherwise_pleasant on
It says TR right there on the sidewall, so I’d say yes

Tire, Yes, Rim Maybe. Alot of OE rims will need tape

It looks like it your valve core looks like it’s tubeless already

It’s tubeless ready, so it can be setup tubeless. That doesn’t mean it is setup though. But judging from the valve stem it looks like it is.

It appears to have a tubeless valve stem and nut. If you let out air from the valve does any sealant spittle out? I’m like 98% you are set up tubeless.

The tire is tubeless ready ‘TR’, but it could have a tube installed instead of sealant. However, looking at the valve stem, I’m leaning toward tubeless.

– Can the tire be tubeless? Yes.
– Is the rim ready for tubeless? We don’t know.
– Is the bike tubeless? We don’t know.

Tubeless ready tyre, rims probably good too – but if not run a strip of gorilla tape around the internal rim, that is the cheapest/most effective method imo.
Shop almost certainly wouldn’t have made it tubeless, but you can deflate it and peel back the tyre you’ll either find goo or a tube.

Loosen your valve stem nut a few turns and push your valve stem down. If it springs back without losing air, it’s not tubeless. If it loses some air and shits sealant everywhere, it’s tubeless.
Usually tubeless valve stem nuts have flats on them for a wrench so they can be tightened a little more to help aid sealing.

That valve tells us that it’s already tubeless. No tube comes with a fancy black valve like that.

If I’m being literal: Per maxxis website your tire is tubeless.
If I’m reading your mind: “is your wheel setup tubeless?” Then looks like yes based of the anodized valve stem. While one can get tubes that come with anodized stems it’s not super common so my assumption is it’s setup tubeless.

The bike shop you bought it from cant answer this?

Just deflate it and look if there is a tube in it.
What’s with all these weirdly similar wrong/unhelpful answers? Is AI here?
MissAmberR on
Looks like it had a tubeless valve stem in it , I guess letting go the air out and taking hit of the bead to see if there’s a tube in there or not would answer the question

Stick a pin in your tire. If it deflates its not tubeless.

Hey does anyone know if the rockhopper base 26 has tubless ready wheels?

TR. Tubeless Ready.
If a shop is telling you any different, might find a new one.

Inflate the tire to around 60-70PSI and you will know for certain. Wear hearing protection.
bdog2017 on
How about you pull the tire off and see for yourself. I’m almost certain there’s sealant in there though.
ScotchCigarsEspresso on
TR/TLR means tubeless ready.
But your rims need to be tubeless compatible as well.
Does it have tubes in it when you deflate and peek under the bead?

What bike is it? If it’s a Trek, black valve means tubeless

hopefully they added sealant 🤣. you should check it before going on a ride somewhere
MoonerMade on
Take a picture of your valve stem.. it looks like a tubeless valve stem in the photo and that large TR on the side of the tire means Tubeless Ready.

“TR” on a Maxxis sidewall means tubeless ready.
MountainDS on
That also looks like it’s potentially a giant bike based on colour fading on rear triangle, and I would guess that it’s therefore tubeless set up as they do this with better bikes… Which this one has that look 🙂
Background-Bison6847 on
It is already tubeless.
Altruistic_Emu_7755 on
Does it have a tube?
Willbilly410 on
It’s 100% already setup tubeless … the valve stem is the dead give away. It’s more concerning that a shop could not tell you this… I’d find another one for your future service needs as they seem to be inexcusably ignorant
nowattz on
Looks like a tubeless valve to me
bikebuildboi on
Hey this is a giant bike. They come tubeless ready. That means a taped wheel with a valve in but no sealant. Sealant is added after purchase. Hope this helps
mtnracer on
Hard to say if it’s currently set up as tubeless but TR on your tire stands for Tubeless Ready. If you currently have a tube you can convert to tubeless but you’ll also need tubeless rim tape and a tubeless valve.
-Angry-Dragon- on
What exactly did the bike shop say? Why can’t they give you a more definitive answer than the Internet?
Name and shame.
Find a new bike shop.

If you crack the side of the tire off you’ll soon find out if it’s set up tubeless or not.
