I have just taken delivery of my new Easton Havoc wheels which are proper UST jobbies, so rims with no spoke holes in them.
My questions relate mainly to tyres...currently I run Maxxis DH single ply tyres. These are non-UST and are not available as proper tubeless versions. Will I be able to run them tubeless with some sealant? I know that some people manage too. They haven't been used that much, but my concern is that the beads are not that tight, so they were easy to get on my current rims.
Or am I better off buying something like a Schwable Hans Dampf which is properly tubeless ready? If I do this, how much sealant is needed? I hoping for a bit if a weight saving. The wheels are pretty light and the Schwable tyres would be a further saving of 200g against my current tyres so I was hoping that removing the tubes would trim a bit more rotational weight off my bike.
