Hi all
Just a quick one. I have some DT Swiss X1700 Spline 29" wheels. Are they compatible for being made tubeless using Stans tubeless kit?
Tried to have a quick look on the internet but not come across anything.
Thanks

Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.

Just about any rim can be made tubeless, especially using a Stans kit. A couple of layers of yellow tape, a tubeless valve and some sealant and you'll be fine. You need to worry about the tyre compatibility then.Trail fun - Transition Bandit

Thanks for that.
Last question: How do the Liteskin Rocket Ron tyres hold up? Should I be looking to run with the Snakeskin tyres for tubeless conversion?Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.0 -
No need for snakeskin just to run tubeless, but like running tubed, a rock slit in the sidewall will stop the ride!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Thank you - just thought that as the wall was thinner it may not be fully supportive enough to run without a tube.
Other than obvious slits in the sidewall from eg rocks , i'd be ok to run these tubeless?
