Yes, plenty of people do. I'm a big fan of the Specialized Terra Pro 2Bliss tyres. Go up easily, good grip in muddy stuff but still roll pretty well on harder stuff. I get them from [url= http://www.bikeshak.com/product/components/components-tyres/2016-specialized-terra-pro-2bliss-ready-52934/ ]HERE[/url] (I work there)

I'm using vittoria cross tyres and they inflate beautifully tubeless. I've used schwable tyres before and they take a bit of effort but still work. Stay away from anything from conti or panaracer they are bobbins tubeless.

Vittoria tnt, not had success with non tnt. And occasionally maxxis mud wrestlers but sticking with Vittoria from now on. Found schwalbe to be a massive pita to set up and binned them. I get them from wherever is cheapest and buy a few,

Using IRC Serac CX muds on Iron Cross rims. No burping at 28psi, but they feel narrow and sketchy. great for trashing around on, but not great for racing. looking for a good Rhino/Limus tubeless alternate, any suggestions?

Anyone tried or seen the Clement tubeless MXP/PDX/LAS versions yet? I love the PDX when it gets a bit muddy, really want to go tubeless this season. Apparently they should be available according to Clement, have tired to contact uk distributers with no success

2Pure (UK Clement distributor) are listing the crusade pdx, mxp & BOS tubeless as being in stock so any shop with a 2Pure account should be able to get you some.

edit: all £44.99 each

I used Clement PDX (the regular version, not the tubeless ready one) tubeless last year, on Stans Crest rims, and they were great. Think I lost air once when I had the pressure on the front ambitiously low, other than that no issues. Went up easy as well.

Hoping to get hold of a tubeless ready pair for this season, cheers Simon.

I quite fancy giving the BOS a go. If you struggle getting hold of any then give me a shout.

Their consumer site appears to just point you to the relevant manufacturer's site (far from ideal IMO). I'm looking on the B2B site so I can see which models they are stocking and whether they have any.

I'm using the tubeless version of the wtb nano 40c and they do seep air from around the bead I think. Nice tyres but I want to know where the air is escaping from.

I've run Continental Cx Pros tubeless despite them not being so. Mounted on Stans Crest in 26". Took a while for the sealant to work its magic on the sidewalls, but had no problems and no punctures. Run them at 20 PSI with no issues.

There are no other 26" CX tyres to my knowledge, so choice was a little limited!

Bit of (read "almost total") thread high jack:

I'm determined to go tubeless for cx this season but things are conspiring against me affording a tubeless wheelset. Primary reason being to run 'almost tub like' pressures. I run 18psi on mtb and am imagining similar on cx bike would be ideal in the mud.

Anyone ghetto-tubelessed for cx? Chances of me managing it on my cheap unbranded wheelset on a bottom of the range ridley x-bow?

Is there anyway of assessing likelyhood of success other than just giving it a crack? I'm wondering if theres anything you can look at in rim/hook profiles..

What have I got to loose other than my front teeth 😆
