If the tyre is smaller then 28mm then hookless is probably not for you. No panic needed, just grab your innertube. Latex or TPU is almost as fast. In all cases check the box, your own weight, rim inner width and tyre width. Never go beyond 73 psi, use tyre pressure calculator and if the recommendation is above 73 psi, hookless is not for you
Last week my brand new 28mm S TR blew off my brand new Zipp 353 NSW in my living room while I got ready for my first hookless ride. I had the tires pumped to 73PSI. Glad it didn’t happen down a hill or in traffic….what happens on hot summer days when the pressure increases as the tire heats up? Do I just die?
There was a case last week of an approved conti tyre blowing off a hookless extralite rim at 70psi while it was just sitting there (see the weightweenies thread).
I’ve just purchased a Giant with hookless wheels SLR 1 that I won’t be using.I can’t believe that a major manufacturer is selling Hookless road wheels to the general public who ride bikes for leisure. I won’t be buying a Giant bike again.My $10k bike will cost another $3k/$4k just to be safe.
Well you didn't do the research before buying did you. Do you really think one of the biggest and most advanvanced bike manufacturers would be risking their reputation and risk of a class action if hookless were not 100% safe?
@@stickymiky123I get what you are saying and I agree with you. Unfortunately I’ve heavily researched the hookless issue from a ground level with pro riders shop owners mechanics serious and casual riders 90% say don’t go near them.

Dude i broke my tyer lever in two pieces. There is no way you simply pish it on with your thumbs if the ture is new.

Is the S TR a specific hookless tyre? You need tyres that are made specifically for hookless rims from what I'have understood.

73 psi is a max not a target.
🚨 2023 ETRTO NOW RECOMMENDS MINIMUM 29mm tire on 25TSS NO LONGER 28MM MINIMUM TIRE!
When your equipment requires that you expend more energy than you do when cycling … maybe you’re using the wrong equipment.
Yes
My advice - stay away from hookless wheels unless you enjoy living dangerously and pissing money down the drain.
