Tubeless conversion - Rocket Rons

[Fitbull]

I have a set of Rocket Ron tyres that came with my Scott Spark. I want to know whether I can do a tubeless conversion (sick of punctures ) with them or do I have to buy new tyres as well.

 

As far as I can tell they are just normal standard Rocket Rons. No EVO or UST that I can see. May even be foldable? They seem very "flimsy" when deflated.

 

Is there a way I can tell if the tyre is suitable for tubeless conversion?

You can use them. I've used many variants of the Rocket Ron tyres for tubeless, "regular" ones, etc.

 

Soap up the beads a bit, and inflate with a compressor. Easy.

I've also done mine, no problem!

took mine to Morningside Cycles, conversions done no problem....they used a Schwalbe conversion kit, not Stans.....

Rocket Rons are awesome, I have a 'normal' folding one on my bike, no issues whatsoever. They are very thin though.

 

...the Maxxis on the rear is another story. Just bought a Conti UST to replace that.

Thanks for the info guys! Will be doing it for this weekend!

 

what do you then carry with you in case of "emergencies", spare tube and bomb?

Nothing. Why do you want to take spares with you
