Hi all
I am new on the forum and new / returning to mountain biking.
I have just bought a 2019 Scott Scale 980 and I am considering going tubeless.
I have been checking specs out on the wheels. Some places have said they are tubeless ready but I can't see anything indicated on the wheels to say this.
Does anyone have experience converting these over and is it worth doing?
Thank you.
Mate bought a scott spark with syncros wheels.
Easiest tubeless set up that I have ever done.
Ready taped.tube out. Tubeless valve in. Inflate. Valve core out. Sealant in. Valve core in. Inflate. Ride.
Zero faff.
That for me ^^ 👍🏻
That's great thank you.
Syncros wheels on my Spark were pre-taped and think may be disguised DT Swiss 370 hubs. As above silly easy to make tubeless.
Syncros wheels (XC24 or something?) on my Scale were not taped, have Shimano hubs, and were so hard to setup tubeless I gave up. Problem just seemed to be that any tyre was very loose on the rim. Currently have some Specialized Storm Control tyres fitted for the very worst mucky weather and have tubes in. Will try again to setup tubeless again before it gets really wet and sloppy but one more try only.
Every Syncros wheelset I've had on full factory spec adult bikes over the last few years has been tubeless ready as above.
The 980 is pushing the price point though so always a chance that they saved some money somewhere.
