I brought Altegra tubeless wheels and I run them with innertubes. I have tried several different tyres with these wheels and I can't get the tyres on! Any suggestions as to what tyres might be compatable with these wheels.
:D

    Any of them will fit with the correct technique.

    This is not a tubeless tyre but it is well know for being 'difficult'!

    Some rims are buggers to get tyres on, some tyres have tough beads - and that included tubeless. But persistence will get you there (see the Spa video - it works too, I've used it with Gatorskins, at least as bad as any tubeless tyre). I assume that you are using a soapy water spray as lubricant when first fitting the tubeless tyres as well?
