    Bike closer to together now.
    Easy room to accommodate 35mm.
    Pretty happy, just ignorance of tubeless bicycle tyres has me stunned.

    Currently I use maxxis refuse 28 and I find them fantastic. Tubed with tuff liner.

    I didn’t realize I could fit wider tyres until about 10minutes ago with a visual. Rougher roads should be ok soon. đŸ™‚
    Any recommendations please? I’ve read past threads and couldn’t resight yet remember g-ones being liked. Just wanting an easy reliable tyre that doesn’t feel like mud when the road is dry.

    Non-tubeless options – if you

    Non-tubeless options – if you have room, Conti Double Fighters (the 28x 1 3/8 x 1 5/8  option, or 37mm in real money) are brilliant for rough road riding and dry offroading. Also looked very hard at the Conti Cyclocross Speed tyres, which are 35mm and a similar profile, though haven’t tried them yet.

    Skinned the rims with Maxxis
    Skinned the rims with Maxxis Overdrive 38mm.
    They fit under spray guards, surprised a little bit, they fit. I’m thinking maybe the bloke I bought the bike from already set the rims for tubeless? Spoke cover is lovely tight tape that contours the walls.
    Cheers supersonic beaten road roller,

    I have done quite a bit of tubeless and the ones I have on my bike now are these –

    I know they say 38mm but they are actually 36mm.  Cheap, bullet proof and great for road and gravel.  I love them.

    Thank you. I rang the LBS and at $200 +/- to initially set up a tubeless tyre I’ll have to save some. Looks like another cycle on 28s. Happy though, remaining true. I wussed out. Bought some maxxis overdrive 38 to buy me some time to afford tubeless. Pretty stoked though. Modded an Avanti blade to suit dropbars. At 6’3 xl fits well. Supposed to be my fast bike yet big chunky will do and open up a few beat up roads. Lol. Currently wanting a fixie, seen a horizontal dropout xl blade on gum tree. Will probably miss out yet that looks perfect to set up as a fixie with same 40mm clearance frame. (Riding lots just not wanting to clean rain grime đŸ™‚ ) Cycling is still way cheaper than driving

     

    If you’re wheels are designed for tubeless then it really is easy to set them up with tubeless tyres. You just need to put some tubeless specific rim tape on, then stick the tyre on. There really isn’t any need to pay someone to do it. Personally I normally stick a new tyre on with a tube in it overnight, so that any folds in the rim are evened out. Then just take the tube out, stick a tubeless valve in, add sealant, and use a track pump to inflate. The G-one tyres tend to go up really easily ands I’ve never needed a compressor or anything like that with them. Other tyres can be a bit more hard work.

    Most of the time I run 35mm

    Most of the time I run 35mm schwalbe g-one tubeless tyres on my GT Grade. They’re brilliant, fast, grippy tyres. They don’t have a particularly long lifespan, but that’s the price you pay for a tyre that is light, wide, grippy and fast. 

    Dave reviewed them on here back in 2016 – http://road.cc/content/review/190493-schwalbe-g-one

    I’ve zero real world experience, but I’m told the  30mm and 35mm G-Ones are great for road and dry offroads. 

    I’ve persoanlly just brought a set of these for a bit more bite in more conditions and gravely stuff 33mm https://www.schwalbe.com/en/offroad-reader/schwalbe-x-one-speed.html
