Off to Morzine on Friday morning. Currently running Nevegal/Blue Groove 2.1 UST on Crossmax SL wheelset. Quite fancy the 2.35s but they are not available in UST.

How do you think the thinner sidewalls will stand up when run tubeless?

I rode standard (i.e. non-UST) Conti tyres for most of last season in the Alps. No major hassles, but they only lasted about 6 weeks before getting pretty tatty and starting to get holes in the sidewalls every 5 minutes. For a week I think you'd be fine.

Not a problem here after 3 visits to Morzine using standard tyres, in fact i never got a puncture either...
