I thought there was an issue with bead strength of the tires. I'm not too worried about getting the sidewalls to seal, that's just a question of time and sealant, I'm worried about the bead spontaneously combusting when I'm cornering hard at 20 mph.

so the fango and grifo are a no-go for tubeless because of their very permeable sidewalls? just how bad are they? I mean, sealing conti supersonic mtb tires is a few-day process due to their superthing "sweaty" sidewalls, are the challenge tires t...

dave, I've only tried once, on a monster wtb 700x44 tire. it held up to about 35 psi, which is all i needed, but just wasn't quite tight enough to go higher. not that you'd need to really at that width, but the seal just wasn't that tight with th...

Quick question, do wire bead tires work for tubeless conversions?

I'm guessing the 51 or 53 would fit well. as long as you have standover clearance, i'd go with the right top tube. do you have a road bike? does it fit well? that could be a good guide for a TT length. I'd recommend the same or .5 cm shorter. It r...

in reply to your comment regarding black on black text: what browser are you interwebbing with? It's supposed to be white on dark grey.
