You can try, but I suspect it won't be easyleft the forum March 20230 -
For someone who easily gets frustrated mounting clinchers then perhaps not a great idea then! Should be wheel thread-but are there any equivalent box section tubeless rims available?Would it be possible to run tubeless on a pair of Hplus TB14's?

Thanks, maybe in the future when everyone's tubeless!

THere is the DT 440, but it's more like an Open PRO than a TB 14 in terms of profileleft the forum March 20230 -
Thanks yes seen those, look about the lowest profile ones. Also a bit narrower than the TB14s

next year Ryde have a bx section 23mm wide rim coming out double eyeleted in polished silver weighing about 510g or so. Saw these at the ryde stand at the show this week. The ryde rep was good to talk too. they are bringing out some nice new rims.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0

Interesting. Saw some of the ones on your site- also tempted with the Pacenti sl23 wheels you do.next year Ryde have a bx section 23mm wide rim coming out double eyeleted in polished silver weighing about 510g or so.

I'm thinking of trying the 25mm IRC Roadlite, or is there a better option for a winter tubeless tyre?0

Probably Hutchinson Sector, but they are way pricier. The IRC Roadlite are supa dupa, not sure about the "winter tyres" label thoughleft the forum March 20230 -
There really aren't many option around for proper winter tyres. When you look at the price almost makes sense buying a cheap set of clinchers and fitting Duranos or similar. Makes you wonder why the cycling industry is pushing tubeless tyres hard (often at the expense of making clinchers very difficult to fit) if the choice and availability of tubeless tyres is about zero.I'm thinking of trying the 25mm IRC Roadlite, or is there a better option for a winter tubeless tyre?0 -
I found the Hutchinson Sectors for £40 each on Acycles (a French company), which was the same as I could find the IRCs for, so I've gone for the Hutchinsons. Thanks. Now to build the bike up...0

I'm having an issue with sealing my Sector/ Pacenti sl23 combo.
They're lovely to ride, really great. But the air doesn't want to stay in at all, they're going from 90 down to 30psi in only 4 days.
I'm using specialised valves, tesa tape and the Hutchinson sealant.
Any tips from you knowledgeable types?

If your sure the tyre is beaded properly add more sealant.0

Another 20ml or something like that?
The beads look good, and made all the popping noises you'd hope for.0 -

Ok, I've got (potentially) the same combo. What version of the SL23 do you have? Mk1 or Mk2? (Mk2 has a slightly wider internal width)Shand Skinnymalinky

On my SL23 with Schwalbe One combo I ended using twice the recommended amount in the rear otherwise it would go from 90psi to about flat in a few days. I know in theory you should only use the sealant for puncture protection and not to help seal the tyre itself but I had to. It was a bit strange because the front (same rim/tyre combo) sealed perfectly with no sealant at all.0

Mk1
Ok I've got the Mk1 too. I used the 19mm tesa tape as the 21mm stans I found too big and didn't seal at all well at the bead. As trek_dan said, use quite a bit of sealant. I used the whole bottle of hutchinson sealant (120ml) split between the two tyres equally. I used two layers of tape as well. Did you dip the valves in the sealant before fitting? This can help to seal any gaps between the tape and the valve. Also the Hutchinson sectors can not be used without sealant (as per Hutchinson's advice on their website). They are unfortunately porous and must have sealant used with them.Shand Skinnymalinky

Looks like I've got basically the same setup. I didn't dip the valves, I am beginning to think that is the most likely culprit... I've considered the American Classic valves, they seem to better suited to the SL23 rim shape. Or perhaps I've been seduced by their alternative design.
The porous nature of the tyres was evident when I first mounted them, but there has been no bubbling through the tyre wall since, so I think the sealant has done it's job there.0 -

Ok, I'm running the Stans valves. Not sure if that will make a difference or not. American classics look like they rely on the o-ring. You could give them a try and report back. When I fit my tyres second time round, the initial leakage was at the valve until the sealant sealed it.
Another thing to mention is just to make sure there are no air gaps in the tape at all. This was pretty tough for me when I was fitting it, especially with two layers. It took me quite a bit of time to do it properly, with the tape seated properly down the centre of the rim well.Shand Skinnymalinky

Thanks. I spent a lot of time on the tape, so that should be fine. I'll add more sealant and see how I go there, if not I'll start again with the AC valves...
Thanks all.0 -
Just noticed the following post on BikeRumour and the Lickskillet range of tyres looks interesting but hard to tell what the tread is like from those pictures;

They weigh a ton... a CX tyre should weigh 350 grams, not 500. I wouldn't want to ride 500 grams tyres, they'll wear you out big timeleft the forum March 20230 -
I'm enjoying the Hutchinson Intensives as recommended on here which are now going to be my winter tubeless tyres. They were buggers to inflate but now they're up they don't feel like they've lost a single dot of air from them and ride nice and feel secure. All intangible I am sure someone will tell me so YMMV ;-)0

I wouldn't really know what would make a good CX Tyre (500g seems very heavy) TBH but I am more interested in the Licksklillet range for the winter, four tyres at 270g (28mm), 275g (28mm), 315g(32mm) and 325g(32mm) which are lighter than the Schwalbe One (28mm) which I used last winter.
Can't say I've heard of this brand before but if they come from CX/MTB then I wouldn't have.
Just wonder if they'll be easily available in the UK.The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd.0 -

Right, I can't be bothered to go through all 24 pages of this thread and the search function is rubbish on here. I have Achetype rims and I wanted to checked what width tape you need to use on them to go tubeless. In addition what tape do people use with these. Cheers0
