• Damn, which rim? Pro Ones sealed instantly for me even before adding sealant - easiest thing ever - and besides wearing rather fast have been flawless with Tesa tape and Orange. Not being a jerk, I'm just surprised. Schwalbe G speed setup yesterday similarly inspiring confidence - nice thick bead pinging into place with pressure and holding.

    I agree though, it's got to be low hassle. I was happy with Duranos before switching.

    Pro Ones did mount easily to be fair, just had quite a few punctures on the rear tyre, including the first ride on it, all of which didn't seal (stan's sealant). Eventually, the rear tyre gave up, probably due to being on and off the rim too many times.

    Replaced with a Maxxis Parone which was difficult to get seated and ended up only lasting one weekend as a tubeless tyre (albeit two longish days round South Downs in some rather forgettable weather). Finished the weekend with a tube in it, which has been there ever since as air was coming through the sidewall. Could carry on riding it like that but want to see what these IRCs are like.
