I am venturing down the road tubeless path and wondered who else has done the same and thought we should have a thread to share the good and the bad. So far it’s been a pain in the butt trying to get Schwalbe Pro Ones to play nice on Prime carbon rims. More details when I’m not on mobile

I’ve been tubeless for a couple months now having had the wheels for a couple years and finally giving it a shot for the road. I have orange seal now as Stan’s never really sealed well. I notice I have a ton of these “wet” spots on both tires. Seems like small puncture but that seems like a lot. Sur…

yup, I call that ‘weeping’ and in my experience its not worth pulling the tire off and patching, or boring out a bigger hole and plugging. Finally got one last week after 1200 miles on GP5000 All Season TR tires. I leave it as-is and keep riding.

I put different tires on my gravel wheels and the sealant in one of the tires was black. Any idea why? I had my LBS mount the tires (Maxxis Ramblers) on a set of Enve AG25. These are the second time the tires had been mounted; the first was to a different set of wheels and they were cleaned in be…

I just dropped an article that updates older how-to mount road tubeless articles I’ve written. It’s kind of a response to the most common issues I continue to see in 2024: https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-gear/tubeless-tire-setup-for-road-tips-and-tricks-you-might-not-know/ TLDR, stop over …
