"I have a cross bike with a mostly Force group (Rival crankset since that's the only one they make in 180mm), and I replaced the rear Force with an Apex this year, so I could toss a 32t cog on my all around wheels for climbing steep gravel roads…"

I spent the last two seasons happily using tubeless Stans NoTubes ZTR 755 rims with Hutchinson Bulldog tires and Stan's sealant. It worked great and I could keep my tires at 25-30psi while weighing…Continue

Matt Haughey replied to Todd Stevenson's discussion Need Suggestions: Looking for XL Cross Frameset"I bought one of the Wicks/Trebon frames off eBay without knowing it was one of their 2008 team models (some eBay clearing house sold it for $150 to me). It was great for a full season and built up really light, though the top tube was slightly too…"

Matt Haughey replied to Mark Hatten's discussion CX Bike Sizing"I'm about 6'3" and have a similar inseam. My BB-to-seat height is around 842mm, and I found my first road bike and my first cx bike just weren't big enough (their frames were 61 and 60cm respectively). I found a four inch drop…"
Dave Flanary replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"I just installed some new carbon Bullodgs last nite. They may fit a little tighter than the old ones, but weren't a problem on my Easton EA90SLX rims. Given the tighter fit, lower pressures should be doable. I'll find out soon!"
Cosmo Catalano replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Finally got out and rode on the one undamaged tire (running front)—gotta say it was pretty nice at ~33psi, but I've been exclusively on clinchers before.
Got a little seeping on the (paved) ride out to the West Hartford Reservoir, but…"
Kimani replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Just mounted up a pair of hutchinson tubless with the carbon bead. Running the bulldog on the front and the pirahna on the rear. Mounted these on a shimano dura ace road tubeless wheelset and it wasn't bad at all. Tires went on with minimal…"
Cosmo Catalano replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Sounds like you broke the bead. I had a similar problem with a pair of Easton Ascent II wheels (which us Velocity Aerohead rims, I believe). Taking the stock rim strip out—despite Stan's instructions not to—finally let me get the…"
Cosmo Catalano replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Bah. I knew it. Well, I see what I can do.
Returning to the thread, I have finally managed to get the front wheel set up (rear rim has a ding that won't seal) with the undamaged tire of my pair and it's holding air well, even without…"
Tony Church replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Thanks for the info Andrew, that seems consistent with my experience. The carbon bead hutchinson's are tough to get on, but mine haven't burped at all and I'm loving the low pressures and reliability!"
Tony Church replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"I did warranty mine through the shop."
Cosmo Catalano replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Did you warranty through the shop? My Bulldog bead gave up the ghost during mounting as well. Easton Ascent II's, converted with a Stan's kit if anyone's curious. Ignore Stan's advice about leaving the rim strip on for those…"
Russell Harding replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"Just to add my $0.02,
The new tires absolutely fit tighter, or are at least less stretchy. I was running a conversion with American Classic Hurricanes and Pre-Carbon Piranhas, but found they easily mounted by hand, and when not inflated, you could…"
andrew replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"hey guys - we have an early (the very first) review of the carbon bead tires in issue 10 and lots of other tire reviews in that issue 10, as well as issue 3 (almost every tire available has been reviewed in those two issues, including the…"
Tony Church replied to Matt Haughey's discussion Anyone tried the new carbon-bead Hutchinson tubeless Bulldog tires?"I ran last year's (non-carbon) Bulldogs and had no fit or burping issues using a tubeless conversion, a little tight but not too bad. For this season I got a pair of this years carbon bead Piranhas and had the same issue as you've had. I…"
