I've been a big fan of Salsa del Gado rims, cuz well, I'm cheap and they seem to be indestructible so far. I'm running IRD cross-fires--anybody tried that combo tubeless? The cross-fires are pretty tough to get off the rim when I have to fix a flat, figure that's a good sign?

yeah, that should be a good sign.

after lots more experimentation, we've realized there should be two categories now:
1) tires that work well as tubeless on stans rims
2) tires that work well tubeless on conversions

stans rims seem to be more forgiving on tire choice. c-note here on the forums has used the IRD tire with much success on stans rims. I have not tried it on a converted rim.

Last night I rolled my front tire (Vittoria EVO Pro) off my DA 7850sl with Stan's rim strip at 35 psi on a paved chicane. Trashed the rim strip in the process somehow. Getting tubeless right is becoming frustrating.
