Tyre Pressure Guide
For Tubeless Tyre Assemblies
The information on this page is meant to clarify the importance of proper tyre pressure for tubeless tyre assemblies with Black Inc wheels.
All Black Inc wheels have been designed from the inside out where each part of the system has been considered with the goal of creating the fastest racing wheel possible. As important as the design of the hubs, spokes, and rims, choosing the proper tyre pressure for your tubeless tyres is essential for fast and safe rim/tyre interface.

PSI
Tyre pressures above are shown in PSI or Bar
- Above tyre pressure values are only recommendations that should be adjusted accordingly based on rider weight, preference and intended usage with a tubeless clincher tyre.
- For optimal performance, it might be necessary to adjust the tyre pressure by incremental pressures of +/- 5 psi.
- The recommended tyre pressures above are for paved road usage only. For light off-road use such as gravel, please adjust tyre pressure accordingly based on riding style and intended usage.
- For tubeless setups always follow the original tyre manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure a tight and secure fit between tyre and rim. Always use original tubeless parts during installation.
- With the advent of wider rim designs and with the selection of wider (23mm>) tyres, it is possible to run lower tyre pressure and have an overall improved ride quality since there is more volume with wider tyres. The amount of grip also increases thanks to the larger tyre used.
- For tubeless tyre setups, please only use the original tubeless parts supplied as they are the only parts that have been verified for proper tyre pressure retention.
Tubeless parts: Tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape, and compatible sealant for tyre used.
- Always check for adequate tyre pressure before every bike ride. If the inflated tyre pressure cannot be maintained for more than 24 hours, then it’s recommended to check all of the connecting tubeless parts for possible air leakage and/or damage.
- If you are not sure about how to setup your set of Black Inc wheels with tubeless clincher tyres, then please visit the nearest Black Inc Dealer and have the wheels setup by a professional mechanic.
