hi,

So I just got the FR/DH Stan's NoTubes kit for my urban rig. It's going to help me dump the DH tubes so that I can run my Hookworms with my Aircorps.

My question is this: I know that I can run standard tires tubeless on standard rims with the NoTubes but can I run standard tires with UST rims without any tubes if I use the NoTubes? (can you say that 10 times fast, lol?) I'm talking specifically about Crossmax SL rims with (non-UST) Panaracer FireX tires. If I can run the FireX's without tubes then I can save $20-30/tire and also have the weight savings (this is for my XC bike).

Whatcha think, can I do this? Is this widely done?

Thanks,

Erik

Get tubless tires but still put in some stan's liquid, you'll be better off.

Yep, if you already have tubless rims definatly use UST tires.

CHECK THE NO-TUBES WEBSITE AND DOWNLOAD THEIR HOW TO VIDEO!

just like it tells you to do in the destructions.

He shows specifically that you can use a regular (lighter tire) on a tubless rim no problem. That is the whole benefit of running stans is that you have more tire choices rather than the very limited ust's available.
