<p>Anyway, stock up if you're on a budget and need some true sew-ups (as opposed to tubeless Tufo / Clement).</p>

<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>

<p></p> Tires for early season racing in Pac NWtag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2015-01-20:1198434:Topic:1622582015-01-20T06:08:08.563ZDolan Halbrookhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/DolanHalbrook
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Last year I raced the early season (GPRT series, Jul-Sep) on a set of Vittoria XGs set up tubeless, which I found.. adequate. I didn't have any technical issues with them, but I wasn't thrilled about their grip or suppleness. Later in the season I bought a secondhand tubular wheelset (Dugast Rhinos on Ksyrium SLs) and found religion. They were on another level, and I could definitely corner faster and trust that the tire would stick.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Last year I raced the early season (GPRT series, Jul-Sep) on a set of Vittoria XGs set up tubeless, which I found.. adequate. I didn't have any technical issues with them, but I wasn't thrilled about their grip or suppleness. Later in the season I bought a secondhand tubular wheelset (Dugast Rhinos on Ksyrium SLs) and found religion. They were on another level, and I could definitely corner faster and trust that the tire would stick.</p>
<p>However, as I understand it, the Rhinos are a mud tire. I've been contemplating picking up a second tubular wheelset for the early season, where most of the races are dry grass, dirt, bark chips, pavement, gravel, and sometimes sand.... pretty much all dry stuff. I'm sure the Rhinos would be fine but I'd hate to wear them down prematurely, and perhaps I could pick up a bit of speed?</p>
<p>What would you recommend as an early season combination? I was thinking a set of Clement MXPs (or MXP front, LAS rear) would do well to complement the Rhinos, but I'd love to hear what you all are thinking.</p>

<p>Just thought I'd post a little diddy to let anyone who's curious about the Specialized Tracer Pro 2Bliss (tubeless) tires know how they've been treating me this year. I'm 220 and have them mounted tubeless with 2oz of Stans on Velocity a23 rims.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Both tires mounted up SUPER tight. You better have thumbs of steel or you WILL need tire levers. Of course this is a good thing for a tubeless setup. For the record, I fought Clement PDX's all season with burps last year. Of course…</p>

<p>Both tires mounted up SUPER tight. You better have thumbs of steel or you WILL need tire levers. Of course this is a good thing for a tubeless setup. For the record, I fought Clement PDX's all season with burps last year. Of course they also mount up on most rims with little more than a gentle breeze.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In training and racing I've settles on 40psi in the rear and 38psi up front. I ride really soft, but most of the races here in middle TN happen on farms and farm ruts (or roots on single track) will kiss the rim under me at less than those pressures. At 38 up front and 40 in the rear I'll still ever so slightly kiss the rim if i catch the top of a barrier when hopping it too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>But of course, that's not what you spend most of the time in a race doing.</p>
<p></p>
<p>SO HERE'S THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION......</p>
<p></p>
<p>How do they do in the mud? Can those small knobs really provide adequate grip as they tout?</p>
<p></p>
<p>In a word, YES! And surprisingly well. Just yesterday I had a race that included 3 mud puddles with standing water deeper than bottom bracket and a 50 yard or so long section of 5-8 inch deep sticky farm mud. I do have a decent amount of technical skill, but I rode past many people who were slipping and falling in the mud. Sure I had a couple of squirms, but no slips. Even better is the tread profile shed the mud VERY quickly once back onto the grass.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm really liking how fast they are on the super dry grass. Haven't had them slip once in an off camber section.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope this info helps.</p>

<p>I have a love/hate relationship with the Clement PDX's that i've been running for the last 3 seasons. They're awesome when running them tubed, but tubeless is a bitch. At first I thought it was the rims I was trying to mount them to, but even after having custom wheels using the Velocity a23's built up this year, I'm still having terrible luck with them and don't want to fight burping for a whole other season.</p>

<p></p>
<p>I love the tread design of the PDX's and wanted to know if anyone had other suggestions of tires that might work better in a tubeless setup and with a similar tread design. If push comes to shove, yes, i can obviously just run tubes, but i really don't want to.</p>
