<p>Thanks. I had Parts 1 and 2 from back issues, and it seems part 3 was the small piece that would have answered the questions for me!</p>

<p>Excellent, I know what I'm doing this summer.</p>

not sure on your typical riding surface, but we got some of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cxmagazine.com/cyclocross-bikes-components-heat-frostbike-2011">the new cedric gracia cyclocross tires</a> in testing, and they're listed 1mm wider and still light. stay tuned!

Yes I plan on using the whole Stan's shooting match. Glad to hear that the Panaracer is a good bet, with it being so light I was hoping to try.<br/>

<p>Hey JD, Eric,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have to disagree with Eric - we've had lots of success with non-tubeless tires. It does sometimes take a bit to fully seal the tiny holes - but usually not very long. Typically I can ride right after sealing up a tire.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cxmagazine.com/?s=%22going+tubeless%22" target="_blank">Search "Going Tubeless"</a> on our site for a list of tires that have worked. The rim matters too btw. Will you be using a <a href="http://amzn.to/cxrimstrip" target="_blank">Stans cyclocross rim strip</a>? In our experience, even with most "tubeless ready" wheels, a stans strip is helpful if not essential for low pressure. The exception would be the Stans/Notubes rim or tubeless rims with the Hutchinson tires with the carbon bead (not the old ones).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regarding your list, the Panaracer and Kenda tires should work great. Iffy on the Ritchey and a no go on the Raze. The CrossBlaster is narrow but light...and great on a wide rim.</p>

I haven't tried any of those tires, but it's usually hard to get something to work with a non-tubeless specific tire because the tire casing isn't air tight and the tire bead stretches too much to make a seal with the rims. Some of my buddies have had luck with coating the interior of the tire with rubber cement to make a seal....
