Question: Looking to buy a Mokwheel Basalt ST fat tire ebike, but want to get rid of the 26 x 4 OEM wide spaced knobby off road tires, as I will be mostly street, groomed trials, or dirt roads riding. Found some 26 x 3 beach bike tires with more street treads that should perform better. Can any/all 26 x 4 wheels accept tubeless tires as it seems from you great video?
I looked up that bike. It looks like a very low end ebike. As such it's highly likely that the rims on the wheels supplied are not tubless ready. To be tuebless ready, they need to have a ridge on both sides of the rip for the bead to stay in. Espeically if sizing down from 4" to 3" you'll need that. I don't know which tires you found, but I recommend these for your usecase. veetireco.com/catalog-product/chicane/ They're 3.5" which would be a better fit.
I use a ratchet strap, but anything can be used. Great video!
thank you for the video, safe happy miles
Nice tutorial! Thanks for the video. I have an original Surly Moonlander Fat bike that I'd like to convert to tubeless.
What is the benefit of tubeless vs tube ?

Were the rim and tire tubeless ready?
Yes.
