While I await delivery of a tubless tyre I'm wondering if I can run a standard tyre with inner tube on the rim?
It's a carbon rim without the little flanges along the edge that a normal tyre would hook under.
Thanks.
Yes but I'd try it tubeless first - if it doesn't work chuck a tube in.
If there's no bead on the rim then no tyre will mount, tubeless or not.
What rims are they?

But I run my hookless carbon rims with regular tubes and tubeless ready tyres fine.
Thanks Matty they are just like that! I will go tubeless but all I'm waiting for now to be able to finish my build and ride my new bike this weekend is a tubeless tyre! If it doesn't arrive it will be down to my lbs who only do standard tyres. Thanks.
