<p>hi, going tubeless for gravel grinder/cross races. Have a pair of Stan's Iron Cross on the way. Would like a 35 tire but there aren't a lot of options. WTB now has the Cross Boss, and they look pretty nice, but i feel like a while back i heard it was super brutal trying to mount them on Stan's Iron Cross hoops. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Can anyone verify this? Would love to hear who's run this combo. Thanks!</p>

I had a IRD Crossfire tire mounted tubelss to a stans rim as a front wheel for two seasons. I replenished the sealant as needed, and finally the tire wore out, the sidewalls became too porous, and sealant would evaporate out leaving a constantly damp outer sidewall. So I removed the tire for retirement, but only after I flatted while coming down a rocky trail with some speed. I found that the sealant I'd put in 4 weeks prior had evaporated, so I put a tube in to finish my ride. <br></br><br></br>Upon…

So I removed the tire for retirement, but only after I flatted while coming down a rocky trail with some speed. I found that the sealant I'd put in 4 weeks prior had evaporated, so I put a tube in to finish my ride. <br/><br/>Upon removal, I found a membrane of sealant that I was able to peel out as a single piece! Now I have a giant latex rubberband as a result. BTW, I used three types of sealant over the course of the two seasons: mostly Stan's, but also Effeto Cafe Latex and Slime Pro. <br/><br/>Check out the pics attached.<br/>
