What tires/sealant/PSI?
Road Tubeless Lessons Learned
- Thread starter ekuhn
- Start date
Those might be my next tires after I wear out the Specialized Roubaix whatevertheyrecalled
My issue with road tubeless, on Hutchinson Intensives, was that you got to 2000 miles and the tires looked like swiss cheese and would no longer hold air. Sure you can put a tube in it and run it to the threads, but then you have a tire with a thick sidewall plus a tube, so it kinda ride like crap.

The first gen Hutchinson's did wear quickly. I had it set up complete UST (tire and rim), which was the selling point at that time.
Here we are today and I am going to try to hook up a non UST tire to a UST rim. Considering the tire not being UST, can I set it up without tape and sealant? Or is that only designated for UST tires?
This is what I am working with...
Wheels- Mavic Crossmax SL
Tires- Schwalbe G-One 38c (TLE- Tubeless Easy) @MadisonDan
Thank you community

These were the Vittoria Corsa's, with Stans, about 90 PSI.
On the plus side, they did ride amazing, the cornering and grip was top notch

No tire lever or sealant. Schwalbe tubeless ready tire on Mavic UST rim. I had both tires on and hand pumped in under a few minutes. They’ve held air since I put them on few days ago.
So if you’re using UST ready rims on the road and looking for a lighter option than a UST tire, Schwalbe May be an option for you.

Never gonna let you down.
That would be dangerous, the higher pressure of road tires makes them more likely to blow off a rim. Ghetto tubeless can work on mtb because of the low pressures. Even the first round of tubeless ready road and cross rims had hiccups.

Did you try the 5000TLs? I need new tires and I can't decide between Sectors or the GP5000TLs. Gonna run tubeless, of course.

My bike came with Mavic tires and after only 847 miles the rear has 3 holes and there are several shallower cuts in the casing. I'm not willing to risk it any more.
It's great to hear the GP5000s are working out for you. What wheels are you running? I have Mavic Aksium UST wheels and online reviews indicate the fit of the GP5000s on Mavic wheels is very, very tight.

I’ve been on Maxxis Padrone 25 TRs for a month. Great fit and ride is awesome. True 25mm.

My buddy loves the new pro 1s on gravel too. I hated the old ones.
