I had my first ride in almost 18 months a couple weeks ago up at Stromlo and pinched the inner tube, and the next ride (yesterday) out at Sparrow Hill did 16km and got another flat. I think it itime to go tubeless. The other problem is that I weigh between 125 and 130kgs.
I have heard I may need to ride with a little more pressure in my tyres, if I am able to go tubeless (weight in pounds divided by 7 + 1). I have also heard that due to my weight a broader tyre would be better. Currently riding 2.1 Maxxis Ardent Race on the back and I do not think my Anthem X1 is wide enough at the back to go above a 2.2 - is that .1"difference going to offer any extra benefit? On the front I am running a 2.1 Racing Ralph.
In making that leap to tubeless I was seeking some advice about what tyre on the front and which or what for the back. I have heard that the Racing Ralph will not transition so well to tubeless, and Maxxis is one of the best for the transition to tubeless.
Or do I just buy some heavy duty DH inner tubes.
Peace Out
