So I'm contemplating converting my DT Swiss 5.1D rims to tubeless with some yellow tape and valves. My question is whether I should look at investing in a pair of UST tyres or just stick with the normal version (looking to invest in some Black Chili Rubber Queens). I've heard a lot of talk about burping on these conversions and was wondering whether the UST tyres protected against this any better than non UST?
I've also read an article over on pinkbike about rim width that uses the 5.1D as an example stating how the slightly narrow profile of the rims makes them unsuitable for tubeless. Have things moved on since this or will I still experience issues on my rims?
