Guys I’m a skinwall whore I love the look !! However are they likely madness tubeless?

Would like 2.2-2.4 ish all round trail type but not silly heavy

What are my options? See Nobby Nic skinwall but not tubeless. Talk me in/out of it 🙂

Onza.

Fill yer boots!

Downside is that I had a pair of canis that somehow went mouldy from within the side wall so couldn't clean them off. But they looked awesome/awful/silly for my shortlived skinwall retro-lust period. I'm done now

I managed to pick up 4 of these tyres in 29er form off the wiggle eBay site.

Love the look of the onza’s 🙂 Merlin have them on discount but it doesn’t mention tubeless ready ? The rrp is same everywhere? Anytime know if the skinwalls are all tubeless ready ? I’ve emailed onza

Maxxis look good too

My mate had some Onza Ibex. Iirc they're utter toss in the wet, and one insisted on blowing off a rim when seating at 45psi.

Yeah they are terrible in the wet hence why they’re not on my bike.

They do look great though.

Nobby nic skins go up tubeless fine in my experience.

@lesgrandepotato thanks for info. I love a Nobby Nic(actress said to bishop) but I’d read the non tubeless skinwalls leaked badly 🙁
