Despite people's claims to the contrary, a special tire available in limited and size and purpose is the only possible conversion, and a very expensive one at that. Sell it to the spandex hamsters. I realize you want to promote your product but from a practical stand point we're limited to adding a little snake oil to the inner tube and hoping for the best. No real revelation there.<br /><br />Marc<br />Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240252773932276478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384807982946756823.post-62399891655440467452017-03-16T14:56:50.086-07:002017-03-16T14:56:50.086-07:00Hey Marc,

Your going to have to fix it...wait for it...<br />with a tube.<br />My two cents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002511885573263378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384807982946756823.post-31148153960185017892017-03-16T13:23:54.414-07:002017-03-16T13:23:54.414-07:00Bob from Stan's NoTubes here.

Usually your do not use the cycloross rim stip with a road tubeless tire unless it is a deep rim like the older mavic open pro. Two layers of yellow tape is usually all you need. Never add sealant to a tire until you prove you can inflate it first. do not want you to make a mess and the sealant does nothing to aid inflation. We make a bundle with everything you need to do a road conversion https://www.notubes.com/road-tubeless-bundle-hutchinson-sector Have any questions please send them to me at Bob@notubes.com.

But, the truth is that I don't get that many flats, and having to take the bike (on my car) into the co-op to use the compressor just to mount a tire is pretty big obstacle for me. I'll stick with tubes for now.

That set up is working well. The Compass tires are more expensive than Paselas but I think their price tag is on par with many of the popular schwalbe tires. accyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293792612093731852noreply@blogger.com
