what don’t you like about tubeless?
I’ve tried Stans on Mavic & DT rims & Bontrager wheels & TBH, the Bonty’s were a heavy wheel, so never going to offer the weight advantage people speak of.
The Stans I got one tyre to seal properly out of two wheel sets, the others would last for 2-3 rides before needing re inflating due to leaking sidewalls.
That I could just about live with, but I could never get a narrow mud tyre to seal. If it’s really claggy when I’m racing, I like to run 1.8’s or even narrower & just doesn’t seem possible tubeless, regardless of system.
Combine that with the faff of changing tyres if conditions change somewhere like Mayhem or SITS & it was enough to put me off & go for the easy life.
So my current system tends to be:
Schwalbe Racing Ralphs/Rocket Rons/Nobby Nics or Maxxis Medusa 1.8’s or Conti xc 1.5’s if it’s really sticky.
Combined with Schwalbe xx lite tubes & means I end up with about the same weight as running rim strips & sealant, but without the fuss.
Pressure wise, I can usually happily run around 25psi without pinch flats unless I’m in the Peak District, but then I’ve usually got bigger tyres on anyway.
