Can anyone recommend some tubeless tyres for my Orange Rx-9 Cx bike?
It’s been sat on the turbo trainer since last winter but decided to take it out for a spin yesterday.
Double punctures due to bloody farmers cutting the hedges and covering bridleway in thorns.
It’s standard wheels from new, shimano hubs on alex rim- 17mm internal- currently on Conti Cyclocross Speed 700x35c tyres.
For racing or mainly bridleway use?
Either way I've had success setting up a number of brands tyres (tubeless rated ones only):
WTB
Schwalbe
Bontrager
On-one
Clement
Also heard good things about Panaracer e.g. gravel kings.
Not for racing, mainly hard packed bridleways with the odd boggy section and of course the backroads to link it all together!
I love my Schwalbe G Ones. Went up tubeless as easy as can be, quick on the road, pretty capable off road.
I use Vitoria TNT tyres, seem to go up well and tough enough. Not been a massive fan of wtb, they seem a bit more fragile
Gravel King SK tubeless here. Very good imo.
Not using for CX racing - just a mix of road and offroad in and around the Peaks...
G ones for what you describe. Clement mxp for all but the very dryest of races.
Thanks for reply’s and recommendations- noticed the new Rx-9 has Vitoria tyres fitted. Just need to find some tubeless tape narrow enough for the rims
I have tried both the Schwalbe G Ones and Specialised Trigger 2Bliss (tubeless) and recommend either
