Flowta Posted September 23, 2009 Share A tubeless conversion kit. Either Stans or Joes if you want to pay for it. Else do the ghetto tubeless conversion for the price of a 20 inch tube and use whatever sealant you want (Stans, Joes, oko, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted September 24, 2009 Share DHK, no, you don't need tubeless specific tyres but rather use normal foldable (which are easier to seal) as opposed to wire bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted September 24, 2009 Share Okay shot guys I have wire bead tyres but I'am due for new tyres and want to go tubeless would be better for me to buy normal foldable tyres or tubeless tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Older Posted September 24, 2009 Share Okay shot guys I have wire bead tyres but I'am due for new tyres and want to go tubeless would be better for me to buy normal foldable tyres or tubeless tyres? Go for tubeless tyres. The non UST tyres sidewalls are not strong enough so I had a sidewall cut. My non UST tyres also perished because of the sealant. I am now on Maxxis Larsen UST and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
