KEH? The one you can tubeless. You guys are way to techy for me. I thought I had all possible info and then you go throw a spanner in my works.

 

Are you serious!? Wire bead is the cheap one and I've bought there at that prove before but it wasn't the one you could tubeless.

 

Folding bead you can tubeless. And if that's the ST 2.5 dual ply then that's a very very good price.

Does it say folding or wire on the tire? I'll go look quick.

Ok so I looked at the tire and it didn't say anything about folding bead or wire bead but it did say the following and I'm quoting.

 

"Please tell that Myles Mayhew chap to stop being such a fking NERD!" I might have the spelling wrong but it said that on the tire. Oath.

Hahaha. Touche. In all seriousness it doesn't say lust but I think the minion only comes in one bead and it can deff be tubelessed. I've been running tubeless with minions since I had my Izimu.

Wire bead is just that. The bead has a wire in it and retains its round state when you transport it. Stays stiff.

 

 

Folding bead tyre can be folded up and can be made tubeless.

 

Wire bead can made tubeless
