Also, there are Schwalbe marathons in that size, along with some other commuter based tires. Pick your level of protection, and go from there. None of those tires, (and none I am aware of in that size), are tubeless, so you are going to have to convert these if you want to go tubeless. <br />Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-43689496968181128822013-02-03T08:50:24.872-05:002013-02-03T08:50:24.872-05:00Can you recommend a tire for gravel riding.

This is where Kenda tires typically fail, due to delamination of the casing from ammonia exposure. <br /><br />Using Caffe Latex or a glycol based sealant like Slime might be more successful, but typically Kendas non-tubeless stuff is so porous it is really hard to get the sidewalls to hold air effectively. Can't say I would recommend doing tubeless on Happy Mediums, but I am sure someone has done it with some amount of success. <br />Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-57354015289699951822013-02-02T22:23:44.589-05:002013-02-02T22:23:44.589-05:00Does sealant have an effect on tire life?

I'm thinking of running the happy mediums tubeless.

I know they also do a rather Bontrager XR-1-ish tire called the V-12 in similar widths. <br /><br />You've got your Schwalbe Mondials, Ritchey SpeedMax Cross, and Maxxis Overdrives. <br /><br />There are probably more, but that's a start.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-23518096056415713562013-02-02T05:51:13.094-05:002013-02-02T05:51:13.094-05:00Maybe we should make a list of tires on the wider ...Maybe we should make a list of tires on the wider side.
