    Anyone know if these are tubeless compatible? Just ordered some Schwalbe Pro ones assuming they are, but can’t get confirmation anywhere…

    IIRC I don’t think they are I looked into it when I got some, never found a definitive answer though. The sealing on the rear non drives side bearing was shocking though,had to change it after a couple of rides as it seized

    I have some on my road bike from planetX. I assumed they weren’t tubeless compatible.

    I havent seen any information to suggest they are.

    I’ve emailed them and tweeted. No response yet.
    DPD are delivering the parcel today. I’m sure the sidewalls of the rim will be strong enough, I’ll just put loads of tape on!
    100km audax this weekend…

    Well they are on and still inflated this morning. Just one layer of gorilla tape required. Tomorrows ride starts with 5 miles up hill, its just the decent I’ll be worried about!!

    It’s the descent I’d be concerned by.

    I survived! And they are buttery smoooooth. 68km/h max, took it easy on the corners. Still no response from Fulcrum.

    They are not officially tubeless compatible but as you have found out work fine when taped up.

    I ran Schwalbe One tubeless on them last year with no issues.

    However as posted above the free hub seals are rubbish. I am on my forth in under a year. I eventually replaced them with Mavic wheels. I just use them as my Ice wheels now. The free hub is £34 a shot so it does not take long to pay the cost of the wheels.

    My advice would be to send them back.

    Got a reply!

    Good afternoon. Thank you very much for your email.

    No, Racing Sport DB is not compatible with tubeless.

    Best regards

    Somewhat late to ask a question here!

    I have these wheels – my LBS fitted them with Clement XPLOR MSO 36mm Wire tubless.

    So far so good..

    Did you ever have any issues running these wheels tubless – I’m fast on the descents and cornering so need to be confident they are fit for purpose. ?
