Before I go and cover the garage in white goo (no missus), I wondered if anybody else has tried a similar combo...
UST tyre (Conti Mountain King 2.4)
Mavic 719 rim
Stans rim strip
Joe's sealant
Specifically concerned as to whether the UST tyre will seat as easily as the LUST High Roller did on the 819 rim on my front wheel (which has been a dream).
I can't believe nobody's tried a UST tyre on a normal rim.
Come on, shake a leg you lot!
No but I am interested too - want to ghetto a Spesh Eskar 2Bliss onto a 719.
I have. It worked - from memory it was a Schwalbe Nobby Nic one of the older enduro type rims. worked - rode it.
There may have been a fault/wear with the fairly well used tyre as I came down one morning it had blown off the rim. As luck would have it the goop stayed in the tyre rather than distributing iself all around the kitchen.
Give it a whizz and find out. In the meantime some new Hope Hoops have turned up with Stan's rims on, to compare and contrast against the UST set up on other bikes. Further adventures in (hopefully now weight saving)tubeless await.....
Of course it will work!
Of course it will work!
That's the sort of response I'm looking for.
Was just a little worried that the different bead might mean it would roll off the rim easier or something.
If anything, it'll be tighter.
I've had no problems using proper UST tyres on my ghetto tubelessified rims, The UST bead is designed to seal, it should work better than a standard tyre?
exactly
Great, cheers guys.
try it without the sealant first. That'll give you a good indication. If it inflates you are good to go.
