Going Tubeless

steelo

I'm currently off the bike due to a bit of a coccyx injury (mentioned in another post - so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!) and i'm going to use the time to get some parts replaced on my bike. I was thinking also of switching to a tubeless tyre set up. I have DT Swiss 4.1D rims and the tyres will be bought fresh ready for the hopefully dry spring and summer soon arriving.

Is there a particular type of tubeless set-up that will fit these specific rims, or will a general all round conversion kit work? Also where do I get the 'stuff' from?

And what are good tubeless/spring/summer tyres? I was thinking Maxxis Ignitor XC's.

dt swiss do their own kits for this particular rim and they are spot on, got mine off CRC also make sure you use UST tyres for best results.

Take a look at www.justridingalong.co.uk
They give reccomendations on kit /rim/trye compatability.
