Cool, thanks.

Chris white (ridefar.info) mentions the xr31t can be a pain with tubeless tyres on an offset rim. Do you have any experience of that?

Also, what spokes would you recommend?

Cheers

no tubeless tyres fit just as tightly to XR31T as to the asymmetric XR31RT . I think ridefar.info thinks a tubeless tyre that is a tight fit is a problem but that is how you want it. Tyres vary a bit and it is that variation he may have noticed and blamed it on the rim. I dont know the sample size he is commenting on.

Ok, thanks.

The thought of being stuck somewhere unable to fit a tyre back on does not fill me with confidence, but weighing it against the decreased liklihood of getting punctures. Going to go with the XR31T rims and at least I have the option of testing how tubeless will work for me.

Cheers
