I wasn't going to run them at anywhere near that pressure- they are at 60 psi right now. They are quite large tyres in terms of width and volume

I think Stans recommend a max psi of 50 for running regular clinchers with sealant.

generally ride the fixed alone early on the weekends, my road bike or mtb are for the social stuff...not sure i want to ride with you - aren't you fast as hell? you won the last alley cat right?

I meant what club do you ride with!

Ha. He rides a sociable(ish) pace as well, I manage to keep up... Or at least he doesn't complain about waiting for me.

Hopefully you will be back riding sociably soon bro ;)

I stand corrected. mind you that treads gone a bit quiet

That topic have exist since 2009, and it only gone quiet back in Feb, mind you it will stay quiet until someone stirred it up.

Just because it's quiet does not necessary mean it's useless.

I think I'll give it a go, I'm running out of time now a bit though!

I shall commence the stirring!

27C Challenge Paris-Roubaix on Mavic TN719- opinions on running these tubeless with Stans sealant in order to avoid pinch flats on the Paris-Roubaix in June?

Just run them as they are - they will be fine

Yess. Who you riding with? You should get on this. You will have to be quick though!

How quick?

What average speed over 25m?

Maybe I'm being a bit thick, but can't you just set them up and run tubeless to see if it works. Then if it doesn't just put a tube in there anyway?

I realised that there will be some weight in the tubeless kit, but I can't imagine it's a lot.

I was looking at the Stans road rims, and looking into tubeless, but was then put off by the lack of tubeless road tyres... but then put back on by a site somewhere saying they work better/as well with normal road tyres.

Yes, it is my understanding that I could do that- it's just the faff, and whether that faff is worth it.

Thought about taking it out on a test ride to see how it flare at 60psi?

flare could be the exact outcome!

My Roberts is 100% finished.

Steerer and seatpost cut down and shot hub bearings replaced by the guys at TFG. Took me 4 months to get the steerer cut down but I wanted to make sure everything was spot on first. Which it is now.

Lovely

Look perfect, can't imaging how much fun that must be to ride.

Your imagination is shit Ed

Looks great fun. I wish mine would be ever 100% finished.

Oh yes, can you repaint my frame? it needed a new facelift, will send you an email soon.

Surprised there's not one already to be honest!

That roberts is lovely.

Very nice that Roberts! Custom build?

Cheapo SS project. Got all parts but not sure how to paint it. Tried out some gun blue on the raw metal for fun but not sure if i like the finish..

Be interesting to see how this turns out, the tonta frames look good for the money.

Nice to finally see a 'tonta' frame over here. Their mad cheap at about 180 pounds. Keep it blank with black parts.

I have to say it is a nice looking thingm, seems to be an alright price too. They do Gilco frames for 300euros too

also, eamsy your roberts looks great, good job.
