I have tubeless tires on all four of my 650b bikes. I've used the following
640b tires tubeless: Hetre, Pari Moto, Babyshoe Pass Extralight, Quasi Moto,
Racing Ralph, Thunder Burt, Maxxis Ardent Race. I use tubeless compatible rims
with Stan's tape and Stan's sealant and more recently Orange
I seated my WTB's with a combination of CO2 cartridges and a bike pump.

Yes, compressors are most helpful. Even then it can still be a pain IMHO. I had
a chance to buy a second wheelset to set up tubeless
I can't say they are spouting hogwash, it can be done with a pump, but its
s much easier with a compressor. One trick is to wrap the
perimeter (tread side, all the way around) with a ratchet strap or similar.
By pushing down on the tread area, it causes the beads to flair out,

I've never had a set come off from inactivity. I did have a nasty burp out
on the trails that sent me down pretty hard, glad to have not

Jim-
In my experience with setting up my fat bike tires tubeless, I definitely
needed a compressor to get them to seat. I carry a tube in case the tire
does come off the rim, but I've never had that happen yet.
There are multiple methods to setup tubeless. Some factory designs like
UST have
Hi Jim,
My primary reluctance for using non-tubeless-specific tires set up as tubeless
for road use is the higher tire pressures. This may not be as big an issue when
using higher volume tires like the Hetre, where you can run them at lower
pressures. This is why MTB tubeless can often be done
What all is involved with initial setup on tubeless? Is there a Riv-ish
guide to doing so?
My LBS told me that I needed to have an air compressor to make the tires
seat, but I have a hard time imagining that to be true. They also said
that if you don't ride them regularly, it's better to use
I will add that DIY tubeless has worked very well for my Fargo, allowing
me to use very, very light (360 gram!) Furious Freds in goathead country.
The rims, SnoCat SLs, have quarter-sized holes around the perimeter for
lightening, and tires tend to fit loosely on them. Stevie's built up the
rim
Two points:
1. Definitely use Orange Seal. I've had much better results for initial setup
with it than Stans; also, doesn't create boogers in your tires after time
(unlike Stans).
2. HED Belgium C2+ is another wide, rim braking rim that works well. More
expensive than the Pacentis, but I've

I picked up a pair of SL23s in Pacenti's post-Christmas sale, the
silver are sold out but they still have the black on sale on Amazon.
Half off MSRP...

I just realized that I let me Synergy rims get a bit worn via too much
braking, not enough pad changing. I now have my overworn pads
