how to identify a tubeless tire?
I have no experience with tubeless tires. Looking at an inflated tire on the
wheel, how do you know if it's a tubeless tire? Thanks Timo

Slime tubes are the only ones still holding air after the ride (or a tubeless filled with slime). Gary(carry spare tubes with tubeless tires)
