Both Tire Options Tubeless??

Hey guys. Maybe a stupid question but are both tire options for the Falcon tubeless or is it just the street tire? Haven't found any info anywhere regarding the knobby tire. I own the Falcon with the knobby tire, which is a great tire IMO but would like to know if it is tubeless as well.

They both are tubeless.. Otherwise you would need to remove tubeless valve going tubed.

If you want - you can remove the valve that is fastened onto rim and add regular tube.

 

Also as mentioned before post - If valve stem which is metal goes in rim - rim having gap around valve stem - it's tubed then.

If valve stem goes to rim and it suddenly have big fat rubber ring around it - it's probably tubeless.

Thanks guys. I just took it out for a spin and when I went to check on the air pressure, I noticed on the tire sidewall that it did say "tubeless".. Good! No.... I don't want a tube. One of the main deciding factors of getting the Falcon was that it came with a tubeless tire. I hate tire tubes. Had a bad spill a couple of years ago on a new, at the time, mountain bike with fat tires. Going pretty fast on this, thank God, very smooth sidewalk when the front tire exploded like someone had shot the damn thing and I landed on my left hip and slid quite a ways.. Luckily, nothing broken. Just a few scrapes. So, no, I prefer NO tire tubes..
