Best known for its ubiquitous tubeless sealant, New York based company, Stans No Tubes, has been one of the pioneering names when it comes to popularising tubeless technology for mountain bikes. Along with producing tubeless goodies such as its yellow tape, valve stems and conversion kits, Stans No Tubes has also become a huge player in the tubeless rim and wheelset market, thanks to the success of its lightweight Crest, versatile Arch and bomber Flow rims.
For 2017, Stans No Tubes will be expanding upon its lineup of tubeless mountain bike wheels with a brand new range of budget-friendly wheels dubbed the “S1” line. Modelled on the existing Crest, Arch and Flow models, the S1 versions will offer a slightly heavier and less exotic construction, whilst bringing the price to an even more accessible level. The S1 range essentially replaces the existing Rapid rims from Stans No Tubes, though the S1 range will only be available in complete wheelsets.
