  • I use the normal Gravelking tubeless, works for me. (3000 km so far, no incident to declare)

    I had a chat with a guy at the Panaracer booth at Eurobike last year, and he was telling me that although they are not labeled as tubeless-ready for liabity reasons, the sidewall construction of the Gravelking and the very tight bead tolerance made them rather suitable to a ghetto-tubeless conversion.

  • Would love to know the detail on the setup.
    tried them with kinlin tubeless ready Rim and priper tubeless tape. Wouldn't work even when doubling the tape.
    Same rim and tape work flawlessly with pro ones.

  • My setup :
    Rims: WTB Frequency Team i23.
    Tape: ?? Tesa tape I think. Taped 2 times, one pass seems a bit thin.
    I had them running with tubes for a while, I think it helps setting the tape properly (no more wrinkles or bubbles).
    Tyres: Panaracer Gravelking 32mm. I never tried the tubeless setup with the smaller sizes.
    Sealant: Schwalbe Doc Blue - approx. 50ml per tyre. Took around two days to seal properly.
    Pressure: 60 psi rear / 55 psi front

    I've run tests* before riding. Tyre jumps out of the rim around 80psi.

    (* well not voluntarily the first time. But then I tried a few times to see at what pressure the explosion occured)
