wynandk Posted November 12, 2018 Share Hi guys. I've got to convert a new set of wheels with tubless ready rims and tyres to tubless. Looking to do this myself. Has anybody used the following kit from Sportsmans before, and did it work properly? https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/sportsmans-warehouse-tubeless-convertion-kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 12, 2018 Share No reason why it shouldnt work but I would go with a proper Stans kit rather. That no name brand sealant might not be so great....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder makes a similar kit at the same price point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted November 12, 2018 Share Bottle of stans and a roll of gorilla tape and you are good to goJip. But it works out basically the same price. I also found that the Ryder stuff works MUCH better than Stans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted November 12, 2018 Share As Spinnekop says, it'll depend on the rim. Some are easier to seat than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allrounder Posted November 12, 2018 Share I have been trying this weekend for hours to get a racing ralph on a mavic cross ride. Tried 4 compressors 5 CO2 bombs and nothing. Back to tubes. Had tubeless on my previous bike and it was and is much better than tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_sa Posted November 12, 2018 Share I have been trying this weekend for hours to get a racing ralph on a mavic cross ride. Tried 4 compressors 5 CO2 bombs and nothing. Back to tubes. Had tubeless on my previous bike and it was and is much better than tubes.Some rim and tire combos can be a pain. With my current combo, the bead won't seat at all even with a compressor, with value core removed. I have to do this: - Inflate with a tube (this will seat the bead all round)- Then release the pressure- Loosen the bead on one side ONLY.- Then remove the tube (without disturbing the bead on the one side).- Then fit the tubeless valve (without the core)- Pump with compressor to seat the other side of bead- Then deflate, and fit the valve core- Pump up!

Crossrides are one of the few UST tubeless rims out there, so it really shouldn't be a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
