Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again" Hippy read the first f**king post

Anyway, add glitter, seal bigger holes, make a bigger & more fabulous mess

Gumwall tubeless, what is out there?

I only know of the compass bon Jon pass (35mm) and the brown wall panaracer gravel kings (23-32mm)

I just accidentally bought a Hed Belgium C2 rim without realising it's not tubeless ready. It was £15 so it's not the end of the world, but is it even worth building up and trying tubeless or is it just going to burp all the time at 'cross pressures? or should i just sell on and get a tubeless ready rim?

You could try it but if it doesn't work you'll need a new rim and probably new spokes too.

I actually have my hed Belgiums setup tubeless and they work fine.. But if I where you I would try to get some hed Belgium + rims instead

My only experience with running non-tubeless rims tubeless was with the old A23's. They worked okay but I couldn't run lower pressures (<30 psi) without burping issues. Wouldn't race them.

Think this has been asked before, but, recommended tubeless pumps? Or is the airshot the best? I already have a track pump so don't really want another one.

The Bontrager one is good.

Even if you get an airshot (which work btw) you'll still a pump capable of getting it loaded to 160psi.

Thanks James. I've got the Joe Blow 2 which has a max psi of 160. I'm imagining this is a little ambitious as all specs are so with that, would the track pump be the obvious choice?

Punctured on the way to work. Pulled over. Pumped for maybe 15 seconds? Rode off.

The airwave airblast is a good pump. Made of metal and has a solid feel to it.

Seems like the lifeline one is just a rebadged version of that.

It's not about the pressure it's about being able to deliver a large volume of air at decent pressure quickly.

So much this

I have probably had many micro punctures that I was blissfully unaware of.

James. Was referencing Alan's comment which said you'd need to input 160 psi into the airshot to begin with. Will the Joe Blow be up the the job seeing as that's its absolute max?

It'd have to be a very stubborn tyre/rim combination to need 160 psi. I've yet to fail to fit a tyre with a maximum of 60 psi in a bottle.

If it's high-volume tubeless tyres I've found you can get away with a high -volume track pump. Road and cross you sometimes need to get a bit more creative with.

Didn't @sumo have a tan wall tubeless tyre recommendation?

Vittoria Corsa Speed

So the challenge now is to find them with a tan-wall, thanks Sumo.

Although having read some reviews of those tyres they're not the most robust.

No, they're basically tt tyres, no puncture protection at all, it's a bit of an odd tyre to make tubeless.

I bought some pro-one evo's instead.

Tubelessness isn't just for lorries.
