Ghetto Tubeless Conversion.

[Wannabe]

I know this subject has been covered before, but I've got a couple of different questions.

1) Can I use my fairly new Maxxis Larsen TT's (non UST, non foldable with wire beads) to do this conversion?

2) What sealant do you suggest I use to do this conversion. (a) Sludge, the local product. (b) Joe's or © Stan's.

I have done it with Crossmark non UST wire beads and used Joe's. Tough to get it inflated ..... used a CO2 bomb in the end!

 

You will off course get many varied opinions here and will have to decide which you find most 'plausible'

Next question. The TT's are proably not best suited for riding in the Western Cape's wet winters. Which tyres would be suggested without breaking the bank.?

What's the feeling about the Maxxis Crosmarks? CWC has got special running for two tyres plus Stans for R799-00.

Did you go the BMX 20inch tube route?

well i've done it with those exact tires, front and back, worked fine, used a standard bmx tube and joe's sealant if tht helps, just make sure you use lots of soap the side walls are pretty prois, good luck

That particular conversion was with Joe's strips but I now use almost exclusively the 20" BMX option
