I know its been done before but things change.
What are people successfully using as tubeless CX tyres?
Would like to ghetto them on non tubeless rims which did take a Schwalbe tubeless road tyre so happy that the rims would cope. There is limited choice in tubeless, that I have found, and they are not cheap. This is for the 2nd set of wheels so cheapish is best. Any non tubeless tyres working well?
are they for actual CX or just gravel/rough/hipster duties?
CX. I am a grumpy old sod. Anything not racing for under an hour round a school playing field isn't CX, its rough stuff.
My Maxxis Mud Wrestlers are doing well tubeless, very grippy as well
Spesh now make some cx tyres that are tubless , I was useing the old ones tubless anyway and they worked ok. But the newer ones are less prone to punctures
Spesh Terra Pros working really well tubeless for me on Crest rims.
Any joy with non tubeless specific tyres run tubeless. My Schwalbes CX pros won't blow up.
in that case it should only be tubs. proper cross [i]and[/i] hipster
but if you insist on appropriating a successful mountain bike technology clement have very nearly redone their whole line in tubeless. their pdx tread is a great mud tread that actually works well for most things.
I'm a huge Clement fanboi, got both PDX and MXP in their tubeless versions. Go up crazy easy on stans rims, so I guess will work well ghetto too. Not cheap though.
I know people who've got the non tubeless up ok with a bit of liberal sealant application and a few days of topping up air pressure
I am currently running clement pdx non tubeless version without tubes although on 'proper' tubeless wheels. Ran a complete 'ghetto' set up for a couple of years using Vitoria xg tyres with valves cut out of old inner tubes on taped dt Swiss rims which were great and often available fairly cheap
Conti cx 35mm going well for me though they're on tubeless rims - stans arch ex
WTB Cross Boss here, went up easy, not a dedicated mud tyre though.
