milky4130 Posted January 15, 2016 Share A similar query was made on a cycling forum sometime ago and this was Stans repsonse:'The Crest and the Iron Cross both do not work that well with road tires and tubes. They will not work at all with road tubeless tires. On the Crest the smallest I would run would be a 28 but the pressure might be limited by the rim to 80psi.I would recommend the Alpha 340 as it works with road tires and cross tires.'Note the query was geared to actual road tyres (higher pressures) not CX tyres which are usually 32 - 45C...So assuming the majority of the rides will be off road i.e. gravel district roads, I can get away with this combination since I won't need the high pressures required for tar riding?

Ryanpmb Posted January 15, 2016 Share So assuming the majority of the rides will be off road i.e. gravel district roads, I can get away with this combination since I won't need the high pressures required for tar riding?That's the way I read it. Equates to around 5.5bar - can't see you going above that off-road. As noted the instances where the tyre blew off the rims were with tyres smaller than 28C at higher pressures on a tubeless setup.

Flowta Posted January 15, 2016 Share Hopefully going to convert this guy to a cyclo/monster cross bike again soon.1993 Diamond Back Apex, Tru-lite Cromo, brushed finish As you can see the frame has been retrofitted to accommodate disc break. I still have the original fork to match, and that will be getting retrofitted soonish (though I can use a rim brake on the wheels I'll be using). Have one of these hanging about in the garage. WTB Drop barhttp://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb3048841/p4pb3048841.jpg Just need to get a short and higher rise stem, and some linear pull drop bar levers. For the time being I'll run 26" x 2.2" Halo Twin Rails http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/product-images-large/halo-twin-rail-dual-compound-tyre-26-x-22-58232.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
