Anyone done it? Got some Kysrium SLs, but don’t know what tyres to use – will any tyres work?

Done it with my el-cheapo Shimano R520 wheels, wouldn’t go back to tubes. I don’t know for sure but think you should use tubeless-specific tires for road usage – something about they have special carbon beads that don’t stretch. I’ve gone that route for peace of mind on descents.

Hutchison have several tubeless-specific tires – not sure which model I’m on, but whatever was (relatively) cheap as primarily used for commuting and training. Go for Hutchison if unsure.

I’ve done it with 28 mm conti gatorz on arch rims. Works a treat for commuting. Would have preceded a tubeless specific tyre but they only make 25mm ones which is two narrow for an arch rim. Got the steel bead to reduce the chance of stretching. Been running them about a year with no bother.

May be giving it a try this summer. I have some P-SLR wheels going on soon and they’re tubeless ready. I just haven’t really looked into tyre availability yet.

You have got that the wrong way around, its the steel beads that will stretch, the kevlar one won’t.
