Vittoria e-Barzo Trail 29x2.6: Tubeless mount

In 2019, I tried to make tires tubeless on a few occasions (see 1 and 2). However, the rims were not suitable for this.

This time, I have a different set of tires and wheels. So, I tried it again.

I installed these tire valve stems.

I used inexpensive "universal" (for bikes, motorcycles, cars, and so on) tire sealant. Since it is winter, I mixed the sealant with antifreeze/coolant.

It works well. I already rode 300+ km without any problems despite the cold weather. This may be due to the relatively low tire pressure. I use 1-1.5 bar (14-21 psi), or even less.

It will be interesting to see how it goes in the summer with the different tires I want to use.
