David Marshall Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I can build you a great set of wheels.....when those are worn out! The only downside to those wheels are the aliminum nipples. They will bite you in about three years time. Do the tubeless conversion and ride!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Cool thanksI wasn't sure if they will work tubeless as I know the rims are TR.Just hope the tires (sidewalls) last long enough for me to save up and buy proper ust/tubeless tires Yeah. Look - you'll probably use up loads of sealant with those tires, as the sidewalls weep faster than Hakkinen after a crash, and need loads to seal. But you can do it if you're patient and use a load of sealant. fanievb 1
Edge540 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Ok so it looks like the dropper this week and start aiming at a tubeless conversion. After that maybe father Christmas will decide to drop off a pair of Crests.Guys thank you so much for all the responses and advice. You guys are truly amazing. Much appreciated.

If above 80 I'd advise the flows in place of the crests.

Reading through the comments I think I'll delay the wheels till a bit later and try do a workshop course and a skills clinic first. I think right now they'd benefit my riding more than a set of wheels. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, SimpleDom and Dubber88 3

Will look him up. Saw one out at Dirtopia, Pierre I think his name was but will check out iRide. Thanks for the tip.
Tubeless Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Why? Other than going tubeless you are fine. You as a noob will NOT notice a difference. Ride it. Alouette3 1
