new T1/animal tires
redface:
they'll be available next month
Prodigal Son:
Animal's strong return makes me happy.
nwcstn:
Not so much your average tire, it's a dual compound tire with the center strip being a harder compound. And they are 2.4/2.2.

If someone knows of a good tubeless set up tutorial I willing to try it and report back provided it costs no or little money. I have and old hazard lite wheel and old GLH I can use.

Gorilla tape your rim instead of rimtape. Cut a 16" tube down the centre, around the top and stretch it onto your rim. Put your tire on between the flaps of tubes with a bit of sealant. Pump it up, cut off the excess tube hanging out.

That seems like a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. Is the advantage just less weight?
