If you have Crossmax tubeless rims and ust tyres you do not need stans or any othe sealant to seal them.Wash with soapy water,install,hit the air, and pop!

The sealant is for ze punctures.Just pop it in the tyre and voila.Cant understand why you use Stans.Slime rules

Slime is water soluble, so if you do a river crossing with slime all holes it has sealed will open up again.

Try the Bontrager Tr range of tyres? TR stands for Tubeless Ready, or in other words it has a tubless bead with a casing optimised to be run with Bonty juice (or whatever it's called), which is near as damnit to Stan's so you may as well use Stan's.

Just a question regarding going tubeles. My WTB rims are very narrow. It looks just a tad wider then my road rims. Can they also be done or is there a limit on hou narrow you can go.

Mamapara I don't think that is an issue . its more about how the tyre fit onto the rim . I think I have mentioned this before but I have done a Stans convertion on a Avalance Reflex (Sportman Warehouse special) using the rims and tyres it came out with .
