Anybody using a Maxxis Ardent EXO 2.25 tubeless on Stans Flow EX?
Just wondering if there are any issues with them blowing off the rim or leaking/burping air?

I can't help on Stans but I'm running Ardent EXO's on DT Swiss 6.1 which is supposed to be nye on impossible to make tubeless- the Ardents are quite 'tight' and really grip/a bugger to unseat if required. So I think you've got the best non-tubeless tyre for the job IMO.

It blew straight up - no hassle or soapy water first time.

Im using the standard 2.25 Ardent on Flow EX (front)

Went up tubeless a treat, not a single leak. Had no issues with them at all.

Not an Ardent but a Minion EXO on Flow. Was a bit of extra work to get it seated but got there in the end.

I was running 2.25 & 2.4 Ardent EXO (f & r) on a set of Sun Ringle Chargers (licenced Stan's tech, similar to Flow EX).

They were fine in the UK but I burped front and rear massively in the Alps last week.

Seem to be ok with tubes in 😉

I'm running that exact combo on the rear of my Blue Pig. No problems other than the rim was a pain to tape up as 25mm rim tape isn't wide enough.

I have one.. it was so hard to inflate tubeless that I got my 4 year old daughter to blow it up with a track pump.
I run it with a st minion dhf and they work well for me

First set of them I tried the air just leached through the sidewalls something rotten to the extent I took them off and only use them on tubed set up.
Obviously other folk have not had the same issues.

Hmm I had that tyre on my EX rims and it didn't go well in the rocks of tenerife last year. Ended up having to put a tube in it. It's absolutely fine on a set of flows but on the Arch EX I gave up with it after it parted company with the rim a few times.
