Fitted 28mm Panaracer Gravel Kings (smooth tubed version) to DT R500 rims yesterday. Two wraps of 25mm Tesa 4289, Hutchinson valves, Stans Race sealant. Went on with minimal swearing, inflated first time with my track pump and other than minimal sealant leakage through the tread of one tyre, seemed to seal just fine. Will check if they're still up tonight.
Very impressed with the Gravel Kings in general. Have used the 32mm smooth (on Stans A340) and 43mm SK (on Stans Crest) versions as well - they're light-ish, fast enough, plenty grippy and don't cost loads.
Are the non TLC gravel kings ok for tubeless? I'm nervous about the higher pressures needed on skinnier rubber. I'd like to run a 26c front 28c rear on a bike with tight fork clearance, and ideally set them up tubeless, but i'm concerned the 70 or so psi needed will be pushing it.
