Doggone Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 My wife rides a Giant Anthem with tubeless conversion. We have entered a few toad races and as she gets fitter is looking for the enhanced rolling resistance that you get with slicks. Question is can a slick tyre run efficiently on a tubeless conversion. If so, what slick tyre do you recommend? Have you had any issues with the setup?

Rocket-Boy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Schwalbe One (or Pro One if you can/want to spend more) is an excellent tubeless tyre. No issues, no punctures since I converted. Rim choice might be an issue. Not all rims - even with rim tape - will seal nicely. If that is the case with your wife's wheels, go for a wheel set that's guaranteed to work, like American Classic.I think you are talking about road tyres, OP is referring to slicks to go on MTB rims.

eddy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 If it is a 29er, any road tyre will work with a tube (just remove the valve) or fit a road tubeless one. 29 and 700c are interchangeable.
