Hi,
need some recommendations on tubeless as I'm clueless about it. Current rims are going on my other jump bike so looking at a new wheel set. Mainly for trail riding.
Recommendations please!
Mavic 819 & UST tyre, done. Strong but not heavy and no need for faffy deluded ghetto rim tape latex bodging.
Stans 355 or Mavic 819s
Same here 819s & Maxxis UST tyres easy on, seat first time & zero puntures in over a year running all over Wales including Snowdon & some other rocky decents @ low pressures that would have had pinch puntures on my old tubed wheels.
Mavic 819 & Maxxis LUST tyres
I have 823's which as you'd guess are a little wider but I could hit a speeding train with them and only end up with a bill from Richard Branson
819 looks good on set of hope pro 2's from merlin.
Another newbie question - what kind of sealant do I need? Do I need it for tubeless rims or is this just for standard rim conversion?
Sorry, as I said I really have no clue!
You don't need it but a little bit of Stans sealant is good insurance againts the odd thorn - I put 60ml in mine & top up every 3 or 4 months.
thanks all for your help 🙂
