Ok, no thanks to you lot, as no one replied to my post asking about what tyres to get. Guess nobody has taken the plunge yet. After a little research I decided on schwalbe nobby nics. Got them on and with the help of a compressor, which fortunately I have got them seated. Then remoed one sidewall and poured in stans no tubes liquid. Now on the bike and will report back when I've tried them. No pinch flats for me and if you've seen the stans video no punctures either.

    I run tubeless on the peeler, Use stans no tubes aswell, running Maxxis High Roller UST's for tyres, they've been good so far touch wood! I must have missed your topic originally.

    I run Kenda nevegals and i havent yet got round to getting any of that punture gunk to go in. but i;m thinking maybe i dont need it cos i havent got a punture yet and i ride in the south downs which is mostly flint and clay.

    you might be right cause a flint will gash your tyre and it will all be over for your ride then. However if you get a flat can you seat the tyre on the bead with a hand pump.Me and my mate both had to use a compressor.<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by hamboman</i>
