I building my first 29er and would like to know which tubeless conversion kits work with mavic 719
and tyre recomendation ,, now on my current bike i run a conti twister on the rear in all conditions,, it works for me,, and doesnt clog
and on the front i have conti explorer
i am a light rider,,and I dont do anything that involves more than one wheel off the ground at any time ,,,
any ideas?
I've converted some 719's and TN719's
Think I used stans plus four strips. John at JRA kept a note of what I used I think as it took a couple of attempts to find the right strip.
Ghetto Tubeless is what you need do a search there are you tube vids to
looks like i will give the ghetto tubless a try ,, first,,
I cant believe just how easy and how well ghetto tubless works. I have even changed tyres without upsetting the ghettos tube.
Quite why anyone would pay upwards of 20 quid for stans tape it beyond me.
24" Inner tube stretched over the rim in the ghetto fashion has worked well for me on my TN719's.
Using 2.2x29" Kenda Nevegals in my case.
One tip, use a decent cloth rim tape underneath the inner tube, and wide enough to fill the inner void of the rim. Might even be worth sticking 2 layers of cloth rim tape on if you're fitting tyres that are known to be loose in order to make them easier to inflate.
Maverickboy i'm dead glad to hear that, attempting the exact same set up tomorrow 😉
If you're using the Kendas AverageMark, they are VERY porous. Don't expect to go ride your bike straight away after inflating and sealing the tyres. Took me 2 or 3 re-inflates and a lot of shaking the sealant (and adding more in) to get it to seal. Sealed properly in the end though, and doesn't lose pressure any quicker than any other tubeless setup I have ever run either, so all is good now!
