Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again" Hippy read the first f**king post

Doit

Doneit. That Challenge Grifo is totally fucked btw - sidewall has split in a couple of places, where it meets the rim. I seem to recall something from Challenge about it being verboten to use their clinchers on carbon rims? Anyway, I won't be doing it again.

This is just from experiance. But the ubeless MTB tyres I've mounted seem to be tighter than the non tubeless Version. I dont think its a sideway issue. The lightest racing ralph has an insanely flimsey sidewall. But getting it out of the beadlock is actually pretty tough.

I've been on x-ones for all purpose use, good on dry and loose, clog up a bit in clay. Hold air well and mount easily.

Just mounted them - easy peasy, track pump only required. They've now got 60ml of Stans in each, so interested to see how they perform all round.

The Challenge Grifo's had rotted - presumably the Stans didn't agree with them.

Front not fully seated, flatspot where bead not fully in place, hell of a vibration at speed!

ooof!

stop, pump up to max pressure the rim can take and listen for it to fully pop into place.

I can't find the maximum pressure for the rim anywhere - it's an ENVE CX29er rim, currently at 70 psi (max for the tyre), and it has just gone "spang!", so somethings now in the right place.

Can anyone recommend a tubeless road setup for a beginner (easy installation is a plus)
To fit on chinese wide rims.
is there a tubeless tyre with tan sidewalls out there??

The only one is Vittoria Corsa Speed. Be prepared to part with your wallet if you can find them in stock anywhere.

I run S-Ones in my gravel thing and they're fast and grippy, so I guess for a true road bike Pro Ones would feel even faster

are the rims tubeless compatible? if not then i'd not suggest you do this

ghetto tubeless works on mtb's but ghetto road tubeless is questionable due to the higher pressures

Just to be awkward I've got the opposite opinion, I've run tubeless on non-tubeless road rims a couple of times, including my current carbon race wheels wish Schwalbe One pro

Thank you for the suggestions.

yes they're 'ready.

schwalbe one's have worked well for me

if they are not mounting with one lap of tubeless tape, then wrap another layer on top

Apparently your tubeless tyres leaking oily goo is a thing.

The Hans Dampfs on my Stanton - that are about three years old and pretty shot to be honest - have starting doing this.

And I thought the oil was coming from a busted seal or crush washer on my forks...not sure whether relieved or concerned!

Burn them now, before it's too late!

I was pondering whether to replace them before our Morzine trip, now my mind is made up.

Yeah, you want semi-slicks this year...

After blowing a tyre off a rim at 80psi, with the wheel in my hands, I too would not recommend. Not pretty.

What tubeless tyre would be the closest equivalent to the strada bianca?

Schwalbe S-One is about as close as you'd get at the moment I think. There are not many options wider than 28mm before you get into proper file tread territory.

Hutchinson Sector?

The S-ones look very interesting, thanks.

And therefore of course they are impossible to purchase. Arse.
