How do tubeless road bike tires work?

Instead of the air in your bike’s tyre being held in the inner tube, a tubeless tyre makes an airtight seal with the wheel rim. To do that, the tyre and the rim are made with closer tolerances than a tubed tyre and wheel, and the rim has a tubeless valve screwed into it to make an airtight connection.

What happens if we put tube in tubeless TYRE?

Risk of puncture – The tyres that are specifically designed for tubes consist of a smooth inner surface, while it’s not the case with tubeless tyres. If a tube is placed inside a tubeless tyre, consequently, the tube can rub abrasively due to the roughness of the tyre and cause a puncture.
