The Stans Crest have been great and a doddle to set up tubeless - 1 wrap of Stans rim tape, fitted the tyres by hand (no levers) and they inflated straight away with no sealant. Added some sealant and they took a day or two to stop leaking and been great since. Did a long group ride at weekend with some steep muddy pitches - only me and my mate riding 29ers could get up them, those on 26ers were walking. The big wheels and better traction from softer, tubeless tyres means I can ride up trails that have defeated me for 20 years.
Who's got a 29'er?

Oh, I'm thinking of building some wheels with some Velocity P35 rims too - we have many areas of ankle deep sand in these parts and with a 2.4" tyre run tubeless I reckon I could have some fun. Likewise, it would be handy for the deep mud and ocassional snow too. It also means I could run some of the new Surly 3" Knard tyres too to give me near fat bike traction.

I just wish my son had bought his CX bike earlier, then I would have had this 29er revelation before.
I'll be making arrangements for a test ride, now that the festivities are nearly over.
