Schwalbe have tested the vast majority of the most common road wheels available and compiled comprehensive data on their tyre’s compatibility with each rim.
A close look at the directional tread pattern of the Scwalbe Pro One Tubeless.
In compiling the list Schwalbe used assessment criteria that included –
- Mounting – how easy is it to mount a Schwalbe road tire to the rim.
- Inflation –Â How easy is inflation and is an air pump sufficient?
- Derailing Safety Schwalbe say that with safety their prime concern, some wheels did not achieve the highest safety levels. “Nevertheless, these wheels can be well suited for tubeless use if the wheel manufacturerâs maximum air pressure is taken into account,” said Schwalbe. “These tyres must not be inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the tyre.”
