Can't believe I held out this long - mother will be so proud!

Anyhoo... usually when the world turns to slop I stick a Panaracer Trailraker on the back of my singlespeed to give me a fighting chance. The one I've got is wired and I don't reckon I could get it to work tubeless even if I were to splash out on a compressor.

So, anyone tried the UST version?

They ok? Usually use LUST High Rollers and they go up nice and easy and have caused me nil problems to date.

Dare I ask about alternatives, or do I risk being hit with a never-ending list of "these are great, but I've never tried any others so have no frame of reference - but these are great!" responses?

Ta.

I managed to seat and seal a folding trailraker on a ghetto set-up so might be worth a shot using a ghetto inflater.

I've had good results with wire beavers tubeless, if that helps?

Not as full-on mud as a trailraker, but loads better on other stuff. My go-to winter* tyre now.

*winter trail conditions available 11/12 months
