I only carry a tube on rides over 20 miles. Also I use C02 not a pump. Knock on wood, never had a flat while tubeless.

It, but they don't want to go about it the right way, then they complain tubeless sucks, or they come strip on a non-tubeless rim, it is a UST tire though.

Tube or tubeless tires? I've ordered a new 2011 Trek Hi-Fi Deluxe 29er and I'm thinking about having the tires converted to tubeless. Is anyone running tubeless and do you recommend it or not?

No more flats and lower pressure! I still run tubes for DH mature .
Love tubeless and won't go back .

Now I realise getting proper tubeless wheels and tyres is the way forward but
It costs a bit lol
Question is.. Is it worth trying one of these conversion kits, are they worth the money and do they work?

You don't need tubeless wheels.
I agree with Syko.
Talk to me about Pikey, what's involvedPikey tubeless but proper ust tyres.
Already this year, I'm thinking tubeless is the way to go.

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with tubeless, and the drama has all been about switching tires. My first tubeless setup worked fairly well, i.e. I didn't have much trouble seating the tire and such, but for some reason my newer tubeless rims...

Taking tubes out loses weight, but adding it does.
Advantage must be the lighter weight of going tubeless.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be purchasing some charger experts from CRC for my AM/FR bike. I don't have the money to buy new UST or tubeless ready tires, and I currently have pretty fresh minion 2.7 60d and 3c tires. I'm a light rider, don't pinch flat...

I have a 2011 575 Race build with X1600 rims and Nobby Nic tires. Has anyone converted this to a tubeless setup? I see on the DT Swiss website they make a tubless kit for those rims. Im not sure if I should use that kit or a Stans kit? Any suggestions...

I have the same X1600 wheels on my '11 575 and just made the tubeless conversion yesterday.
I used the dt swiss kit on my enduro build and it worked great, running it tubeless with nobby nic.

I've been looking at a bike that comes stock with Stans Arch rims and the bike comes with the Bronson Race tires. Are those tires tubeless ready? From what I could tell from the website it doesn't look like they are.

The Race is not a tubeless tire, though it may (or may not) work tubeless on the Arch rims.
WTB tires labeled TCS are specifically designed to run tubeless with sealant.
