I'll probably opt for the 650b wheels at that point.

They have a bit of a deep inner well, so I would be concerned about that. Then I would test fit something tubeless to the rim. If the fir was loose, I would abort the mission, so to speak. <br /><br />At any rate, it is my opinion that unless the stock rims are easy to convert, it isn't worth trying, for me, anyway.

I have a set of WTB Riddler tires coming. Anything I should be concerned about with the setup? This will be my first attempt at tubeless.

Stan's primary purpose is for conversion of non-tubeless tires to tubeless. If you are going with a tubeless rated tire, it won't be designed around a Stan's rim. <br /><br />Then you have to just trust that the manufacturers are going to do due diligence and try mounting other products with theirs. I know Maxxis is doing this,and I would assume others are as well. <br /><br />Finally, are you going to run a 28mm tire tubeless? I'm pretty skeptical, at this point, that anything sub-35mm is very reasonably reliant as a tubeless tire. I just am not comfortable with what I am seeing out there in that regard. If it were me, I would run tubes when I went with sub-35mm tires and go tubeless on bigger tires, and personally- I wouldn't bother running anything under 35mm, even on the road. I'm not racing, so why? Tubeless tires with bigger volumes are coming in at sub 500 gram weights and the recently released Maxxis Rambler and Fuse tires are really light. <br /><br />Otherwise, if lightweight and skinny are must haves, consider tubulars. The Effetto Mariposa Carongna Tape is reputedly great stuff and eliminates gluing, so doing tubulars isn't the nightmare it used to be, and you pretty much eliminate pinch flats.

I have a Tamland ...I'm pretty confused myself.<br /><br />I have a Tamland with the original Kmax pro rims. Love it so much I want to upgrade it. Toured in Italy on it and ride lots of mixed rides in Norcal. But I've pinch flatted several times now, so I want to go tubeless. I want to be able to run 28-32mm tubeless tires at 65-70psi and 38-42mm wide tubeless "gravel" tires in the mid 30s. I weigh 160 lbs.<br /><br />(I am assuming that going tubeless on the stock Weinmann K-Max Pro rims would be a risky idea. Correct?) <br /><br />Assuming such, I narrowed my rim choices down to Panceti SL25, Stans Grail Team, and Velocity Aileron. Then I started reading more about tires... and realized I do not know enough to know if these rims with the quickly growing list of tubeless tires will fulfill my wishes.<br /><br />If the only guarantee is to use a manufacture's system, Panceti, Stans, and Velocity are out? Should I really just go with WTB KOM i23 TCS rims and only use their Cross Boss and Nano? <br /><br />One thing about WTB that I don't understand, they claim their rims can take up to 72 psi irrespective of the tire used. 72 psi is likely enough for me, but it makes me uncomfortable since I don't understand how they can make this claim. It would seem different sized tires with different air volumes would create disparate forces on a rim. Can you clear up some confusion and help me move forward with my decision?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071321410278775943noreply@blogger.com
