Tubeless tires eliminate the inner tube, allowing you to run lower pressures for better traction and a more comfortable ride without risking pinch flats. You'll also get better puncture protection since the sealant inside instantly seals small holes and cuts up to 1/4" (depending on the sealant). Most modern mountain bikes come with tubeless-ready rims and tires, so making the switch is pretty straightforward. You'll need tubeless valves, rim tape, and sealant—we've got complete kits and all the individual components you need. The benefits are huge: fewer flats, better grip, smoother ride, and you can run lower pressures without worrying about pinch flats. If you're still running tubes and your bike is tubeless-ready, it's absolutely worth making the switch. Not sure if your setup is compatible or need help choosing the right components?

Sealant doesn't last forever—it dries out over time depending on your climate and how much you ride. In general, you should check and top off your sealant every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you're in a hot, dry climate like Arizona or SoCal. Most sealants (like Stan's, Orange Seal, and Muc-Off) last around 3-7 months before they start to dry out and lose effectiveness. If you start getting more flats or hear sloshing that turns into clumping sounds when you spin the wheel, it's time to refresh. We recommend pulling the valve core and injecting 2-4 oz of fresh sealant depending on your tire size (bigger tires like 2.5"+ need more). Pro tip: Orange Seal Endurance lasts twice as long as standard formulas if you want to extend the refresh intervals. If you're not sure how much sealant to use or which brand works best for your riding, hit us up—we're happy to help!
Yes, it definitely matters! Front and rear tires do different jobs, so running the right combo makes a huge difference in how your bike handles. Most riders run a more aggressive tire up front for steering and cornering grip, and a faster-rolling tire out back for acceleration and pedaling efficiency. The classic combo is a Minion DHF (or Assegai) on the front for maximum traction and cornering confidence, paired with a Minion DHR II on the rear for controlled braking and acceleration. If you're riding more XC or less aggressive terrain, you might opt for something like a Rekon or Aggressor front and rear. Tire choice also depends on your local conditions—loose and rocky? Go aggressive. Hardpack and fast? Go for something with less knob height and faster rolling. And don't forget about tire width and pressure—wider tires at lower pressures give you more grip and comfort. Still not sure what setup is right for your riding style and trails? We've tested pretty much everything and can point you in the right direction. Just give us a shout!
