In reply to Stanley Mdala. Hi Stanley, It really is hard to say without seeing the bike. Your best bet would be to visit a local bike shop.

In reply to Adam. We don't recommend tubeless tires for the majority of touring cyclists due to the more complicated and finnicky setup, and difficulty of carrying the needed tools and supplies. However, for those who are very experienced with tubeless tire setup and maintenance, they can be a good option.

Along with all that, before replacing, or refitting, the tube, I also inflate the tube slightly, so as to reduce the possibility of a pinch puncture.
