Small problem, i very recently bought 2 new maxxis high rollers for my bike.
Then got given a stans tubeless kit for crimson.
Can i use the high rollers or will i need tubeless ready tyres?

My advice is to use an extra scoop of Stans in each tyre as Maxxis sidewalls of their non UST tyres are very porus. I prefer the syringe via the valve method once tyre is fitted and seated with no sealant (just soapy water initially) and left for twenty minutes for the bead to sit tight in. Just another top tip is to go round the beads of the tyres with a small pair of scissors and snip off flat all the release nipples on the rubber as they cause a lot of leakage on non UST tyres too.
If you have a compressor use it it makes it a real doddle.
