Tubeless tyres have many advantages. The most important is that they can be ridden with less air pressure, which is a decisive factor for safety and comfort off-road. Nevertheless, many mountain bikers shy away from the sometimes complex Conversion to tubeless. MilKit wants to remedy this situation. With practical aids for at home and on the road, the tubeless month should be a breeze.
The rim tape is the be-all and end-all of tubeless conversion. That's why the people at Milkit have set themselves the task of bringing a particularly high-quality rim tape onto the market. With a material that is both strong and flexible at the same time, fitting should be a breeze and the particularly strong adhesive should prevent slippage. Starting at 16.95 euros, 10 metres of rim tape are available for four rim widths.
The sticky mess in particular is a horror for many bikers. With the Tubeless Conversion Kit Milkit brings a clean mounting solution to the market. Tyres can be fitted dry and then filled with the sealant - no sealant chaos in the hobby room! The integrated rubber lips are also designed to prevent annoying clogging of the valves and with a particularly homogeneous sealing milk, Milkit promises long and precise functionality. Free from aggressive substances, it is also environmentally friendly.
Included in the set are:
1x 250 ml sealing milk
1x syringe system
2x 45 mm tubeless valves
1x 10 m tubeless rim tape (various widths)
1x needle for filling the syringe
1x valve heart tool
Price: 64,95 Euro >> e.g. at Rose for 35 euros
Another obstacle can be the lack of a compressor when fitting the tyres. Depending on the type of rim and choice of tyre, the tyre can only be sealed with extremely high air pressure. Conventional pumps usually fail here. Milkit now offers a lightweight and space-saving alternative. With the Milkit Tubeless Booster, tubeless tyres can be fitted quickly and easily. The container is simply filled with a standard air pump and then pressed onto the valve. The compressed air is suddenly pushed into the tyre and presses the tyre firmly into the rim flange. At 150 grams, the Tubeless Booster is much lighter than a compressor and can be used conveniently at home or on tour. Advantageous: The Tubeless Booster can also be used as a drinking bottle. Price for the 750ml bottle: 49.95 euros >> e.g. available at Rose akuell for 36 Euro.
