Hi guys,
On the tube thing......a wheel designed for a tubeless tire has small bumps
or ridges running around the circumference of the wheel inside the edge of
the rim.  This ridge helps to retain the tires' seal in case of your letting
the pressure go low.  If you don't have this ridge, don't put tubeless tires
on the wheel, because you may suddenly loose pressure if there is a sudden
side load that causes the tire to slip on the wheel.
Best,
Ray McCrary
