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
Onza have confirmed all the 27.5 skinwalls are tubeless ready 🙂
I’ve got a set of skin wall onza ibex with very Little use I want to sell if you’re interested?
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.
Aye I’m prepared for them maybe being shite !
Yeah they are terrible in the wet hence why they’re not on my bike.
They do look great though.
I’m in Scotland it never rains 😉
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 🙁
