Do I have to buy the TR (tubeless ready) Minions and High Rollers to work tubeless on my Arch EX rims? Anyone know?

I ran std single ply front and dual ply rear tubelessly on both Crest and on Flow. Both worked fine tubeless with just valve/yellow tape and Stans fluid.

No problems here with non-TR Maxxis on Flows (yellow tape/valves/sealant) so would think Arch would be the same..

IME yes, Mavic have decent sidewalls with a fair amount of rubber in, I've never had a foldy mavic not work well tubeless. (I'm not even sure TR makes any difference) Wire ones can he harder.

they work, but i do find that in hard corners i get more tyre roll when using non-TR Maxxis tyres
(along with occasional hissing/white juice explosions !! )
