It's been suggested that it might be an ideA. I'm gonna be using dt 4.2 rims and conti vert pros. Any downsides? What sealant?
I used Wheel Milk from Just Riding Along seems to have worked just fine. 3 weeks and counting....
I used new Maxxis Minion/Crossmark on DT E540 rims and had no probs at all.
If you're a habitual tyre swapper then tubeless isn't great. I will change the rear in the Autunm i imagine.
They sealed/seated with just a track pump and have great so far. I really only did for stop thorn punctures as i was getting them almost every ride!!
No weight gain in my case as i the Maxxis were heavier than the Kenda they replaced. If i had kept to Kenda then there would have a very small weight decrease.
I now the tyres at around 30-35 psi, loads of grip and no chance of pinch flats either.
Continental are supposed to be fine for ghetto.
done it on my 719's with crosmmarks for summer. seems fine up to now.
