I was planning on running 2.2" UST RQs on some 21mm wide WTB tubeless rims, but might have to go for some narrower 819s if I want to build the wheels this year...
Pretty sure I've seen people runnning the two but can anyone confirm its OK?
Cheers
Fine, I have run 2.4 fat alberts on 819 ust's
big XR4's on 819 'S HERE, TUBELESS.... FANTASTIC!
You can run (wider) on any rim IMO - just depends on what pressures you like.
FWIW I've got a Deisel (2.5) fine on mine, I don't run low pressures on it though, and it's a cheap/stiff carcass.
Yes I have that combo on (RQ 2.2 + 819), though am thinking of going to Nobby Nic's instead and popping the RQ back on when it's drier.
I have a 2.2 and 2.4 RQ on 819s, nae bother. I just did the opposite and put the queen back on the front to replace a NN, reckoning it would be better in the current conditions. Why do you think the NN is better in the winter? RQ seems a grippier tyre to me.Yes I have that combo on (RQ 2.2 + 819), though am thinking of going to Nobby Nic's instead and popping the RQ back on when it's drier.
Nice, cheers guys, I was sure I'd seen someone in Edinboro doing it, must have either been you Garry_Lager, or TJ.
Edit: Cynic_al, I know what you mean, I should have asked "are they horribly prone to rolling under average riding conditions" but I reckoned if they were, someone would have something to say about it!
Aye, sorry, am being pedantic, it's this log-in.
Mavic measure the internal width of their rims while other manufacturers quote the outside width. They might be the same.
I regularly ran 2.3" tyres on my 717 rims, no bother.

Just the experience of riding on ice with guys using NN's, I was having a right game, slipping everywhere, where-as the rest of the group were not suffering in the slightest. To be fair I like the RQ but it's not a great winter tyre is all
Though to be honest, I have no personal experience of the NN's either...
2.3 tubeless slicks gone on my 819 today, mmmmmm speedy
Zippy - I took my RQs off for winter after finding the shallow tread clogged up easily in some mud/snow conditions, but in other places it was brilliant - so I suspect opinions will vary.
13thfloormonk - Did you buy the RQs yet? I have a 2.2 UST in mint condition to flog, email in profile if interested.
ooOOoo, cheers, but the RQ 2.2 is everyone else's 2.verybig, hence the question.
I would actually have been interested in the XR4s a la snakebite, but when I had RQs before I swore I would get some in black chilli if they were ever released.
Cha****ng, its the black chilli ones I'm interested in, can't imagine yours is UST, 2.2" and black chilli is it?
Not BC compound no.
🙁
I'm running a 2.2 RQ Black Chilli on a 717 with no problems. Non UST mind
