    Running nobby nic 2.25 Evos non-tubeless with Stans fluid on Rovals fitted to my Yeti 575.
    Attempting the WHW at the end of April- will be carrying a couple of tubes and patches in my bag, will also clean the tyres and put fresh fluid in..
    I’ve heard there’s some very large water bars for hopping/pushing over on the route and just wondering if there’s any point sticking with the tubeless- had them set up like that almost a year with no problems at all..
    So- pita or just stick with the current setup?

    If you do flat, you put a tube in – what’s to worry about?
    Hang on – I’d forgotten about the tyre shredding midge of Lochaber…………

    The fact there are water bars is reason enough for staying tubeless!

    Yeah, go tubeless and find a nice cushy pressure, the extra suspension and traction on the climbs is worth it! I actually managed to scrabble up a few of the switchbacks* on the Devil’s staircase running tubeless rubber queens somewhere between 25 and 30 p.s.i.

    *before common sense and lactic took over…

    No, I ran T/L on a HT. View from the top of the Staircase in the summer.

    Fairly shocked you haven’t died already. Rovals on a Yeti just sounds wrong.

    They seem to be fine. Fairly light, reasonably wide and I got a bargain price when I bought them…
    Not sure about the red alu nipples but hey ho.
