Hi,

I am thinking of getting a pair of Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evolution Tubeless UST 2.25 on my Trek 8500. Also what would be best Racing Ralphs or Nobby Nics.

I have Bontrager Race Disc wheels and wanted to know if the UST would fit my wheels without the use of a conversion kit(?) or are they already compatible and I just put the tyres on without tubes as the original wheels had tubes & tyres fitted! As I have some tubes with slim that I’m presently running.

    What rims have you got? If they are UST they probably say UST on them. For current wet conditions RRs are not great. In fact I have just taken mine off and replaced with Trailrakers again. NN might be Ok depending on your trails.

    as above you need to use the tubeless rim strip and valve then mount your new (when you decide) UST tyre, that will be enough to get you going, however you may choose to add sealant to help with puncture proofing. (most users do) you do not need anyhting else however as you wheels should have come with all the bits. good luck.

    Tubeless is the way to go.
