I've had some on order since November now, which I'd already paid for. Getting fed up of waiting so just wondering what might be a decent large volume ust specific with a tougher/reinforced sidewall. Mostly around the peaks.

I really like the 2.2 version on the hardtail but want something for the bouncy toy.

Your suggestions please.

Hans Dampf is plenty strong & tubeless ready, think it's lighter than the UST RQ too - and there a "Super Gravity" version if you want it really tough.

Does it really, definately have to be UST? Because otherwise, Butcher SX would be bang on. It's not UST or even officially tubeless ready, but it works as well tubeless as anything I've ever used.

Doesn't have to but ust specific but I've found them to be more reliable at lower pressures around the peaks. I don't mind the weight penalty either.

The new black chilli's are just as good as the UST ons's seal easy enough, can't really tell much difference except TUBELESS isn't in big letters on the side.

I liked the hans dampfs but they didn't last long

Have you ordered them yet and are you buying a pair? I've got a single UST RQ 2.4 in packaging I could sell you. Run a 2.2 on the back for the win

I have ordered them. Dispatched already. However, I use rubber queens on two bikes. Might be worth having a spare.

How much do you want for it?
