[#2160736]

Got a rear tubeless rim (Mavic Crossland) and was wondering about running my Specialized fatboys on it.

Any reason for not going tubeless with it.

I run all my MTB tyres from Racing Ralphs through to dual ply Minions tubeless and it works great on all those but what about commuter/road tyres?

Advice/experience please peeps

I ran wired Conti 1.3" slicks tubeless with no problems on Stan's 355 rims (just yellow tape). I ran them at around 45psi and they felt amazing, so much more supple than with tubes and despite only relatively low pressure they rolled very well indeed so never bothered trying any more air.

With sealant they coped with several cuts and thorns.

Cheers might be worth a go, the fatboys tend to be run around 80psi though.
