Did I read somewhere that you could make tubular tyres into tubeless by using some kind of sealant on the market.

Do you mean clincher->tubeless? Tubular tyres are completely different construction, require different rims etc.

You can do it (I converted my CX wheels to tubeless) but do your research thoroughly as some tyre/rim combinations work better than others. There's also a limit to how much tyre pressure most combinations will take (though that's not an issue for CX where the whole point is to drop the pressure further than you can with an inner tube). I'm using Stans sealant and rim strips.

I think those wheels are tubeless ready so no need to use rim strips.

Sorry, completely new to running tubeless tyres. Can I just run a normal clincher tyre with these rims without a tube or do I need special tubular tyres such as hutchinson?

here is that stuff that I saw advertised that converts normal tyres by sealing them:

What are peoples views on running tubeless - is it worth it or should I just run with clincher and tubes.

I have no experience myself. A neighbour runs tubeless on a bike like mine and says they are great. You can always carry a tube in case of emergencies as I understand it. Don't know about that sealant but it sounds like a good idea. You could just run tubes if you wanted to though.

I used to run tubeless. It was ok, but the tyres tend to feel hard and lifeless and I didn't motive any reduction in punctures.

As we approach the longest day, anyone interested in an Exposure joystick & headband (relive Bjørn Borg style) for £57-odd?

Not a CR1 SL, but a nice frameset nonetheless:

£299

clarkey cat

being the proud owner of one of these myself I can say that £299 for this frameset is an absolute steal.

They must size up a little unusually, as the 48cm has an effective top tube of 545mm, which iirc is the same as a 54cm Scott.

I'm not going to buy any myself, so will not pimp out my referral code, but Sport Pursuit have a good deal on the highly reviewed Sugoi bib short range.

Yes they have quite a steep sloping top tube - like the planet x carbon pro's

After getting the first offer wrong on the details, they finally got it right and came back with £87

Good find. Shame Evans are out of stock of the jerseys I'd have bought on this deal. Still have a £100 Evans voucher knocking around that I've not got round to using due to their poor stock situation.

Indeed, super stuff mroli, thanks. A pair of GP4000ss delivered for under 40 notes sound like good business.

I just bought two Vittoria Rubino's yesterday, might return them and buy again with the discount...

GP4000S or Michelin Pro 4 Service Course?

keyser__soze

Ridden both, prefer the GP4000S, seem a little grippier. Both seem to ride a little bit more dead than the ZXs but have a lot longer life.

porlyworly

GP4000S ordered cheers. Also placed a separate order for an Ultegra cassette (£32 shipped) and it let me re-use the code

Think it's a decent deal:


Circa £151 after £5 newletter subscription and 3% Quidco cashback, for Fulcrum 5's from Wiggle.

Even cheaper if you use 12-EXTRA to get 12% off.

Me too + a separate order for 20 gels, tube of tablets, cheap chain, 2 sets of brake pads and 2 inner tubes (for £30!)

Thanks!

Not pulled the trigger yet but I have a feeling that I'll be making a number of ~£50 orders with Evans today...
Open Pro Hoops. Hope Evo hubs...
