update on my tubeless

paulf2007

well have been running tubeless on my trance( nobby nics) working real nice with no problems. So decided to run tubeless on my downhill bike with sun mtx camo rims. Ordered stans rim strips and the ones on the chart were freeride, but they were too narrow, so the guy at just riding along sent me some dh ones and they work fine. Have a michelin dh tyre on the back and a kenda nevagal on the front, put the stans no tubes latex in and inflated the tyre and a leak was heard, turned the wheel round and it sealed instantly. Then I noticed it leaked through the sidewall so I wiggled the wheel around to seal it and sealed, but have had several leaks through the sidewall since.It seems that some non tubeless tyres, the cheaper ones at least do not have decent sidewalls so to be sure of not having a flat next day I am getting a maxxis high roller for the front. All in all a success I think
