After reading all the pros and cons about tubeless, I have decided to go to the dark side and try tubeless on the Yeti 575. Sick of thorn punctures on every ride!

I'm looking at Conti Mountain king 2.4 ust on front and 2.2 on rear.

What i'm stuck on is whether to go for the DT Swiss tubeless conversion kit or Stans system. I must say the stans on youtube is impressive. Has anyone out there got any experience with these 2 systems?

I have DT swiss ex 5.1d rims.

    Another vote for Stans. Bit of faffing to get set up, but short of ripping the sidewall I've not had a flat since.

    Tip: Use a co2 inflator to get the bead to pop into place, and make sure you pack a spare tube and tyre boot just in case you shag them completely when you're miles from home.
