Yes its possible .

Done a number of them using Maxxis Crossmark .

But your trike frame/fork must have space fr the tyres

…. Yeeeess …..that’s where tubeless started……!

 

you will struggle to find a 26” tubeless conversion kit so you will have to ghetto it with duct tape.

just buy a roll of tubeless tape from your lbs as it’s the correct width for the 26”rim (usually 17mm or 19mm spoke bed width), typically this will be for road bike tubeless.

if the rims use schraeder valves there are schraederfkr tubeless valves available otherwise you will have to make a normal presta valve thicker with a few wraps of insulation tape or a bit of electrical heat shrink tubing.

then it’s like fitting a 29er tubeless

Ghetto tubeless! If all else fails.

Google it. Basically using cut 20” inner tubes as rim strips. Solves the Schrader valve issue too.

Continental Race Kings, Maxxis Crossmarks. I am currently running Racing Ralphs TL on my 26" gravel grinder.

Best is you still get them online
