So my neighbor has asked to help him set up tubeless on his 29er because he keeps getting punctures. Pinch flats I'm guessing. and I said I would. I've since found out he's 130kg.
So I'm now thinking he'll possibly still pinch flat with tubeless.
He's on 2.1 tyres.
I'm thinking maybe tubeless front and FR Maxxis tube rear.
Guessing he's just on skinny ally rims.
I'm also going to see how large a tyre I can fit in his frame and get him to get 2.3s or something, hopefully with EXO casing or other if anyone has a tough side wall recommendation.
So in short. Any heavier guys out there having success with tubeless? What set up do you have? How often do you burp if tubeless? What are the toughest tires you've found?
I don't think old mate will cough up for wider rims just yet.
I think he was running 40PSI, guessing I'll up that to 45 and see how that goes with new set up.
Any other thoughts?
