Each to their own shannon.. Much of a muchness.. Shrder is easier (without adaptor) to fill up at the servo tho

You can't run a schrader tube with 823's, but they come with a presta tubless valve and a schrader adaptor.

ok thanks heaps judd and dilzy =] looks like schrader it is it is!

im going to run tubeless so i think ill just get a schrader tubeless kit

The rim will come with a mavic tubeless valve, no need to purchase separately

aussie - the hole is only big enough for a presta. A schrader won't fit. The rim should come with the Mavic 'freestanding' presta valve. Get UST tyres. You don't need a rimstrip or a 'tubeless kit' or anything to go tubeless as they are tubeless [ UST ] rims. Most folks would still put some latex/sealant in for added puncture resistance. If you really need to pump it up at a servo, then get a presta/schrader converter that allows you to attach a schrader pump head.

alright thanks heaps so even if im buying off CRC the rims will still come with the presta valve? also im getting some maxxis minion UST's so do i only need to buy some sealant?

 

[NoogiE]

yes and yes

 

[aussiemx]

alright thanks heaps for all the help.. sorry if i seemed like a bit of a twat.. first time buying off the net and running tubeless

 

[NoogiE]

All good mate - I just bought an 823 wheelset off CRC and had to do a bit of research to figure it all out. Glad to pass on some experience!

 

[aussiemx]

oh sweet as ^^^ hey just a quick question.. did you buy some new spokes for the rims and if so what spokes did u get..? because im thinking about getting some DT Swiss Competition Stainless DB Spokes Black 2mm-1.8mm Set of 36 & Nipples

 

[NoogiE]

Nah I got CRC to build the complete wheelset - but I went with brass prolock nipples and straight guage (non double butted) spokes

 

[aussiemx]

ahh fair enough.. sorry about all the questions aye but because u got CRC to build the wheel for u.. did u have to buy a new hub/s ?

 

[NoogiE]

yep, everything new. My old wheels were cactus anyways

 

[aussiemx]

ahh rightio fair enough alright mate thanks heaps for your help i really appreciate it!

You don't need latex with UST tires. I wouldn't bother with UST tires, they are expensive.

The rims come with a schrader adapter that you can use to inflate your tires at a servo. Personally don't know how people do it without it, inflating a tire on an 823 with a track pump is a bloody nightmare.

 

[NoogiE]

I tried a few times with non-UST tyres on mtx33's and it was damn near impossible to get them to inflate, even with a pulsing/electronic servo pump.
Was plesantly surprised fitting UST minions on 823's though - first try with a track pump and they pumped up and held air straight away, didnt even need to pump very quickly.

I've got XM819's and it's the same. Not all non UST tyres work, and you definitely need an air compressor to get them to seat.

Where did you guys get the special nipples needed for the rims? How much do they cost?
