Stan's NoTubes Flow MK3 wheels


Flow rims have been a tubelessready trail benchmark for years and the latest version has a buoyant, wider-tyre-compatible ride. Stan’s started the tubeless conversion revolution and the MK3s come fitted with their signature custard-yellow tape and with valves included, ready for an easy pop into place. The tiny ‘Bead Socket’ lip on the rim makes for a seal that’s trustworthy down to super-low pressures. On the trail, the 32 J-bend Sapim Force spokes and shallow ‘WideRight’ rim profile give a smooth, shock-absorbing ride, but the wheels still track accurately. We’ve ridden them for months without obvious denting, wobbling or de-tensioning too. Engagement of the four-pawl Neo hub is slightly slow and the splines scar over time, but the previously loose end-caps are now properly secure.

Width 28mm/31mm
