Anyone know of any decent tubeless ready tyres in this size? For the lads trek Farley. Existing tyres are really loose fitting so tubeless seems impossible. He keeps getting punctures from thorns etc. Alternative suggestions also welcome!! Cheers, Chris

Most people seem to choose to pack rims out to get FB tyres to seat sensibly for tubeless.

The UKFatBike Facebook page is very well used so might be worth trying there too.

Do on one make one? (thinking out loud, they did a 24" fatbike) failing that, slime in the tubes? will weigh more than your house though....

I have stuck sone stans in the tube which has actually sealed the puncture, so maybe that will suffice. The tyre sits really loose so can't packing it out making a lot if difference tbh. I'm sure I read somewhere that I could use 26" downhill tubes?

It will make plenty of difference, give it a go.
