Personally I'd base it on whether or not the FRMs are worth the extra £100 in the first place rather than them being tubeless compatible. You could convert the standard wheels to tubeless easily enough for about £50 if you wanted…

Lee Shunburne replied to Dave Haygarth's discussion 'Chain length'

Method 2 but adding two links. That's worked for me on all bikes since I first read it in MBUK about twenty years ago!

If he can't find them then send him the forks back!

Lee Shunburne replied to Patrick O'Donovan's discussion 'TRP Magnesium Euro Cross Brake Sets 4 Set's (2 Bike's Worth)'

Completely off-topic Paddy but I've still got your jersey - it's well-travelled as it's been to every race with me this season! Give me a nudge if you see around at an N+D or I'll be at the Derby trophy round.

If the forks have canti bosses which screw in, then you should be able to unscrew them and put in the facing plate that Jez mentions above. Sounds like they've gone missing somewhere along the line.

Before you try new rims or bodge the current setup further, have a go with some proper Stan's strips.

If I've got space I'll bring the tubeless setup for you to have a look at.

Keep pumping and they'll turn completely inside-out, which makes it much easier to get glue on the base tape.

Lee Shunburne replied to John McComisky's discussion 'Cyclocross chainrings 36-46t wanted'

36 won't fit to a 130 bcd chainset - minimum is 38t.

Lee Shunburne replied to Kristian Spreckley's discussion 'Brakes - Avid Shorty Ultimates or TRP Euro X'

I've used Frogs quite a bit and now have Shorty Ultimates, no experience of the TRPs though. Shorty Ultimates are easily the best brakes I've used, adjustable in every way you can imagine and easy to set up (without the use…

Are tubless wheelsets any good for cyclocross ?

I am buying a 'dirty disco' & it comes with on one's own clincher wheelset.

For £100 more i could have some FMB tubeless wheels (vastly reduced in price) which i am told can still run a tube & tyre set up.

So, is it worth the £100 extra to have the option of running tubeless now or when they are improved.

Thanks & regards,

Clive

You could convert the standard wheels to tubeless easily enough for about £50 if you wanted to, but if the FRMs are a big step up and can do both then it might not be a bad idea. I'd bet they're quite a bit lighter, which is always nice!

In my experience tubeless isn't quite there yet, and it probably won't ever get to the stage of replacing tubulars for 'proper' racing, but it's certainly worth trying, particularly if you don't want the hassle and expense of tubs but want something better than standard tyres.
