7. To  achieve  the  best  cycling  performance,  we  strongly  recommend  to  use  Giant  Tubeless 

System products (rim tape, tubeless valves, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tires) in combination 

with  your  Giant  Tubeless  Ready  WheelSystem.  Giant  Tubeless  System  products  can  be 

purchased from your Giant bicycle retailer. 

 

WARNING:

  Use  of  a  non-Tubeless  tire without  an  inner  tube may  result in  premature  tire 

abrasion or rapid air leakage. 

 

WARNING: 

Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready W heelSystem without a rim 

tape and tubeless valve will result in inflation failure. 

 

WARNING: 

We strongly recommend not to use tire levers when mounting the tubeless tire, 

to prevent structural damage of tire and rim which may result in inflation failure. 

 

WARNING:

 

Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem without sealant 

may result in poor air tightness and puncture repairing functionality failure. 

 

WARNING:

 

To achieve the best puncture repairing performance, we strongly recommend you 

to use Giant sealant.  Using non-Giant sealant may result in corrosion(tire, rim, and rim tape) or 

sticky tire and rim, which may lead to abnormal disassembly.   

 
Using Giant WheelSystems with standard tires, inner 

tubes and rim tapes: 

1. Instead of using the tubeless valve, which can be removed from the rim, only an inner tube with 

a Presta type valve (small valve, Ø  6.5mm) fits into the valve hole of the Giant rim. Never drill 

out the valve hole or enlarge it in any other way.   

2. Select rim tapes, inner tubes and tires which comply with ETRTO dimensions to be used with 

the Giant WheelSystem and install them as instructed by the manufacturer. Do not use latex 

inner tubes as heat generated by braking may damage them. 

3. Air pressure: Do not inflate further than pressure limit indicated on the rim surface (see limits 

labeled on it). Do not inflate further than recommended pressure limit indicated on the tire (see 

recommendation values on the tire). 

4. Mount the Shimano®  or SRAM®  cassette accord

ing to the manufacturer‘s recommendations. 

 

 

CAUTION: 

Use tire levers carefully if they are needed. Tools with a sharp edge and improper 

material of it may damage the rim. To prevent rim damage we recommend only using Giant tire 

levers which are delivered with the Giant WheelSystem.
