Racing Ralph Tubeless (Stans no tube kit\

pete600

Hi Iam thinking of going tubeless using Stan's no tube kit. Seen some Racing Ralph tubeless on special at planat x and Racing Ralph Tubeless Ready Folding Tyre. Using Stan's no tube kit would the tubeless tyre on my rims (DT Swiss XCR 1.7) Any advice is welcome better kits out there or better tyres

Thanks

If you're using the Stans kit and sealant, there's nothing to be gained by going for the tubeless tyre, Get the tubeless ready version and save some weight. Racing Ralphs work well with the Stans kit.

According to Stan you should be able to use any normal folding bead tyre to work with his kit. But there are few exclusions that I know off I think Kenda don't like you to use sealant with their non tubeless tyres and Schwalbe have thinner side walls so recommend you use the tubeless ready versions.

If you need new tyres any ways then go for the Racing Ralph otherwise I'd try it with your existing tyres first and see how you get on.

Also don't DT Swiss make their own tubeless kit? That might work better than the Stans kit as it'll be made for your rims rather than a generic Stans one.
