    Hi,

    Has anyone had any success running a non-UST 2.35″ Minion DHF dual ply as a tubeless tyre with Stans sealant?

    As these are not a UST/LUST tyre so I was wondering if they will work when used tubeless?

    I really like the 2.5″ Minions for the Alps but they’re a bit overkill for my local riding so I thought I’d go for the 2.35’s but would like to stick with the tubeless set up (I love riding through Hawthorne bushes!) 😀

    Have done successfully with a pair of 2.35″ dual ply Maxxis High Rollers before… Not the same tread, but the same carcass…

    Worked pretty well too, Maxxis have got a fairly tight bead and the dual ply versions are almost air tight before adding any sealant.

    Yup, even the single-ply non-UST Minion front worked for me run tubeless – DT5.1d rim and the DT tubeless kit. As mboy says, the have a tight bead!

    Yeah, one more, 2.35 singleply minion’s as tubeless. They’re fine until they wear a bit and then they tend to slip off the rim unless you keep them above 30-35psi. I run them tubeless and once they’re worn a bit (a month or 2) then I shove a tube in them to get the last of the wear out of them!

    I’ve got a DHR 2.35 dual ply. Been working well so far, had trouble inflating but once up it’s been fine. I have noticed quite a few beads of liquid forming on the tyre wall, lookslike the base/solvent/whatever from the latex leaking through – not from a cut tho. I’ve been expecting them to dry out but been running for 2months so far (I did use a bit more sealent than recommended tho)
