Silly question I know 😉

Using an old 29er Inbred with on-one 29er retard rims to commute with at the mo.

Has anyone messed with cx tires & 29er rims?

Or am I going to burn in hell?

Ta.

Yes. So long as your rims aren't really wide.

Stuck some Schwable Snow Studs (38mm) on those Retard rims without changing the inner tubes - not dead yet.

Yes. I did it at the weekend and got them running tubeless on my 29er arch rims. They roll really well!
