• If panaracer can make 32c gravel kings tubeless for sim works, why can’t they sell their own??

    I’ve just received some 35c g-one allround, replacing 28mm pro-one as got a rather nasty flint through the rear sidewall on one of them. I now have snow outside my front door so i’m not sure how much i’ll actually be able to use them before spring though.

  • why can’t they sell their own??

    I'd presume they will soon.

    Where do you live?

  • just remove the core of the valve and it will go straight in.

    @chiroshi 32mm gravel kings (or 28mm) can be setup tubeless pretty easy.

  • But they aren't "officially" tubeless compatible, which makes me think there must be something different?

  • at 900m altitude in Switzerland.

  • well those Sim Works are kind of the same, Sim Works them selves say about their tyres:

    "A lot of people might wonder if this tire can be compatible with tubeless or not?
    To tell you the truth, our answer will be “WE HOPE SO”. The reason is that there are 2 regulations in this tubeless tire world such as β vs VHS kind a stuff. We really don’t know how exactly will fit perfectly or slightly fit into these things."

  • I've got a pair of Sim Works Hommage, they've got a thick flat edged bead like a tubeless tyre should, but I haven't mounted them as I'm still waiting for my bike to arrive to put them on.

  • I've had Homage tyres tubeless for a year and a half without any issues.

    The bead on 28mm gravel kings is exactly the same.

  • I'll be at 450m altitude in Switzerland this weekend. Probability of cycling relatively low. On the upside, it looks like Verbier's open for business, so it's not all bad.

  • Silly cheap Hutchinson Fusion tubeless tyres at Acycles. Picked up a pair of the Galactiks for £42 posted - BFRIDAY15 gets you an extra 15% off and there's 5% cashback with topcashback.

  • Just bought a pair of the ‘All seasons’ for my wet weather Bowman - £30 ish posted for a pair!

    What’s the catch?

  • What’s the catch?

    People in the café will laugh at you because you have last years HDF5.3 compound, not the latest ElevenStorm.

  • Who has DynaPlug? @Dammit ?

    Which one do I buy? The product line up is a bit confusing. Whats the diff between soft, mega and bullet plugs? I only ride on road with road tyres.

  • Haha - I can live with that.

  • IRC RBCC on DT Swiss R24 Spline inflated with a hand (not track) pump!

    Using the DT Swiss tape that came fitted to the wheels and their valves together with IRC tubeless tyre levers.

    Piss of piss.

  • Piss of piss.

    Double piss

  • Impressive! Those IRC levers are very handy, and not just for tubeless.

  • Tubeless is the only time I need levers: my thumbs are like small people in their own right.

  • Double piss

    Yeah, twice as easy as "a piece of piss".

  • Have Schwalbe updated the carcasses of the Pro 1 to actually be true to size? I've just bought some 23s assuming they would go up to 25 on modern wide rims like they have in the past (my 28 measures~30), but these are only showing ~23.5

    You win

  • Just bought a set. Got one of those IRC rice bran jobbies to go with. Anyone tried?
