i have fitted tubeless tyres tonight on my crossmas sx's. i took the advice of the forum and have binned maxxis tyres in favour of continental 😮
time will tell if its a good idea
Which ones you get? Rubber Queens?
Not had a problem with Maxxis or Bontrager on tubeless. Never tried Contis as tubeless, yet. Enjoy being tubeless.
yeah mboy
Which RQ's have you got? I was going to try a tubeless conversion on my standard wire bead 2.2's but worried the sidewalls might be too flimsy.
I found my 2.4 mountain kings had leaky sidewalls and left snail trails when parked in the kitchen back to tubes now

You'll like em Jedi, perhaps not the ultimate grip of a Minion, but they're probably the most progressive, predictable tyre I've used. Conti used to be rubbish but they've massively upped their game with these tyres.
Enjoy, and don't forget a bit of sealant in them will help stop burping and prevent thorn punctures.
yeah sealant in. rolled a tyre on a 10ft+ hip drop last week so thought the lock on effect may prevent it................. i fear i may be wrong 🙂
wet woodwork + rubber queens = death
....................enjoy 😉
we never ride woodwork in th wet! thats stupid 🙂
shit, that's what i am doing wrong........ 😉
woodwork should be the option on a trail not THE trail
good luck, i've ran ron's, akon's, ralph's and now trying ritchey shields. Seem to fine running front tubeless but rear is a nightmare. Hopefully, especially at 40 squid a pop, the ritchey will do better
On Vancouver's North Shore, it's always wet. Plenty of woodwork there 😉
There is a lack of Ceder in the Herts area so building woodwork that grips in the wet in somewhat challenging
stophe remeber that trail at gibsons/roberts creek ? green death 🙂
the wood @ Llandegla & gisburn is insanly grippy.
personally ive used the rubber queens ust on the iodines & didnt like the all or nothing grip i prefer the maxxis as they eventually give but they let you know when your goign to die rather than just trying to kill you .
My non ust 2.5 Minion 3c exo skin blah d' blahs are fine on my crossmax sxs. I used some stans and so far all good.
About to try some Schwalbe Dirt Dan 2.35s on my M9 with Stans. I'll see how they hold up at the weekend assuming they arrive tomorrow.
