• Anybody racing hog hill today?
    I am heading out from Clapton around 12.

    Also I have been thinking. Could I run a tubeless tyre with a latex inner and get the benefits of both combined?

    I rolled my tubeless front tyre during training Tuesday. I only had an latex inner tube so I put that in. All the latex sealant was still in the tyre but I had to get on with training so I couldn't do anything about it.
    Wednesday after work I took out the tube to set the wheel up as tubeless again. The tyre seamed to have resealed with the latex inner inside.
    This got me thinking
    If I could get the valve hole airtight. Could I then combine the two. Essentially get low pressure and sealant protection. If I roll the tyres it won't burp out air and if I get a pinchflat, air will stay inside the tyres.

    Also, which mud specific tubeless tyre should I choose? I would not mind a thread pattern close to Limus, which I have had as a tubular tyre before, and loved.

  • The Vittoria XL is the best I've used. Grip for days.

  • You are describing a ghetto version of Schwalbe Pro-Core.

    You need to drill a second valve hole. Run the tubeless valve through that and run the inner valve through the existing valve hole.

    Pump them up independently. Obvs inner psi < outer

    A road tubular will be better than an inner tube tho

    Then bosh - really heavy wheels!
