I reckon slathering a lightweight tube tube in talcum powder gives you most of the benefits of suppleness of tubeless.

But with all the pinch prevention of a condom :twisted:

Re:

What clubby says +1

I'm also now in the hefty tyre fan club too, Schwalbe Super Gravity ftw. So many cringey moments as I've rattled the rim (ooh arr) but came out unscathed.

Re: Re:

If you have tubeless ready rims and need new tyres anyway I think you should at least try it. The sealant, tape and valves are £25 tops, so you won't break the bank. Just remember to experiment with pressures. No point running the old high pressures you think you need.

Actually its £45 for a Stans standard kit for two wheels.

Stans sealant pint £12.49 ( 8 wheels worth)

Sorry for shouting but like I said, if you have proper tubeless rims, you DON'T NEED the rubber rim strip strips, just valves.

Re:

I use gorilla tape these days, many folks use electrical tape. Valves can be had cheaper.

Re:

i turbocharged myself today


(and I'm a long-term 'proper' tubeless rim user and advocate of, and a recent user of NOT 'proper' tubeless rims which aren't as good.....just my two pence worth )

* proper = welded rims, not taped-over spoke holes
