OEM Schwalbe RR, non UST, will not stop leaking through sidewalls, I'm using Stans sealant. Should I persevere?
Yes it took me a few days, then they were good.
Mine seemed to leak a tiny amount till after the 2nd ride. Not topped up since.
tubeless ready?
IME they're just a bit too fragile. You may get them to stay up, but sealing after a puncture is 'troublesome'
Given up on them personally for proper UST Conti X-King.
No, not tubeless ready, got one to stay tight. Think I'll give 'em a bit longer. Thanks for replies.
Have you ridden on them? This helps the sealing process. I thought Non Evo RR was a bit too fragile for tubeless. Fitted some Conti X King Racesport and they were a nightmare tubeless even after scrubbing the inside with soapy water and cleaning with meths. They were still dropping air pressure after a couple of months use. Since replaced with Conti Rubber Queen 😀 a superb tyre

They go fine tubeless on Crests but do take a couple of goes for the sidewalls to seal. Once you're done they stick.
They are very light and fast but, as above, a little flimsy in the sidewall, as the OO page says. You should be OK if not running them somewhere rocky.
The only Schwalbes I've had satisfactory results from tubeless were Snakeskins, all the rest punctured if you gave them a sharp look. they sealed fine though.
