I've been converting some non tubeless rims used with schwalbe g one successfully.
The thing is the rims are Schrader, while the valve I used were presta. Last Friday the valve decided to go awol, I suspect from moving around to much when pumped using hand pumps.
As I got some 26in inners with Schrader valves, I tried cutting them and using it.
The problem is while when using the presta, the tyres pumped up and the bead locks.
It does not happen with the Schrader, anyone knows why?
Cheers,
