I've been reading about these for while now, anyone know when they will be available?

    I'd also be interested in news on this.

    I've been tracking the release of these and asking as many people as I can. So far it looks like before the end of January. Multiple websites of retailers who are Schwalbe dealers now have them on their sites but not available yet for order. My guess is the kit will be available first.

    just got an email directly from Schwalbe and they said in 'Spring'

    When is Spring exactly...?

    Next tubeless tyres I'm buying will be the Bonty ones.

    Not me. Just bought some Bontrager R3 instead, so we'll see how they go.

    and given the bad press Schwalbe has had with their standard Ultremos, I'd say it's probably not worth waiting... :roll:

    They have great tires for MTB tub less ready so I would hold my horses. Let's wait and see. Just can not see any tubeless tires keeping high pressure for long time.

    I've run all three Hutchinsons now - Atom, Fusion (2&3) and the Intensive.

    Of the three the Fusions were the best. The Atoms were a tad lighter but no other benefit and wore faster than the Fusions. The Intensive wasn't as grippy as the other two and seemed a harsher ride (may have imagined this) but maybe did last a bit better. I only ran it on the rear though. Not sure I'd stick one on the front. Anyway, my insomiacal ramblings notwithstanding... I'm interested to see if the R3s are better. They certainly are lighter (on paper) than the Hutchinsons.

    All three Hutchinsons held air no problem. Better than a latex tube, put it that way.
