Irvin85 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Do anyone of you know if one gets 29er tubeless slicks and if, where I can buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Cycle lab had specials on them last year but you can use normal road bike tyres, or Tandem tyres. Sorry I only noticed later - Tubeless! Edited October 26, 2018 by Dexter-morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted October 26, 2018 Share slick slicks for road or little knobbies that work well on hardpack? If the former then any cyclocross to gravel bike tyre should do. if the latter then Definitive Bikes "The Dominator"(Duro Tyres Cycpher) in 2.1 is a very nice option.

Not sure myself, Asking for a friend who want to do 94.7 on his MTB but not willing to redo his tubeless conversion. So I think it will most probably be slicks like in Road tyres for the 29er.

brumby Posted October 26, 2018 Share Specialized Sawtooth 42 c - Tubliss ready - little pricey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Brink Posted October 26, 2018 Share Panaracer Gravel King - the original one, not the more gravelly SK version. Come in 32 or 38mm widths,290g and 320g respectively. And, most importantly, with an option for a tan sidewall. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the width of the rims your friend has anything from 28C road tyre can fit BUT this will lower the bb by an inch or more. I’d recommend they look at 700C cyclocross or gravel bike tyres Tim Brink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't remove the rim tape, pull out the tubeless valve, and put a tube in. Once done, remove tube, put the tubeless valve and sealant back in, and bob's your uncle.

JA-Q001 Posted October 26, 2018 Share And just check if his MTB rims can handle the pressures that some of the slicks use as Minimum. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted October 26, 2018 Share I am finding I need to check my tubeless every 3 months at least as it dries out. Whether you put slicks with tubes or without tubes, it is the same effort. Once you take the tubeless knobbly off, you often need to redo the rim tape, unless it looks very neat. I buy duct tape to use as rim tape for tubeless. Cut it down the middle and a 5 m roll can do two tires for R40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted October 26, 2018 Share Chaoyang Viper 700cx1.5 I picked up a set for 600 bucks brand new from BikeMob. Super easy to inflate and I run them at 2.5 to 3 bar depending on where I'm going. No issues after quite a good few hundred km Raf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Spez sawtooth. Running front and rear. Very fast rolling at higher pressure. High tpi and grip for lower pressure. Most importantly. Uber quality casing. Going to give the marathon plus a go to save them for actual gravel events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more expensive but you can do multiple tyre changes with it, so works out economically in the long run. Dexter-morgan and Martin PJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is better. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Duct tape is fine but I find that the higher thread count of gorilla tape makes for neater tubeless valve seal. The duct tape sometimes needs another layer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
