Tubeless trials?

I was wondering if anyone has had any success at converting a 20" trials
set-up into a tubeless set-up?
If so, what tire/rim/rim strip set did you use? Anything else?

If not, any insight into this topic would be useful.
Thanks,
-Ryan Atkins

I don’t think it would be worth it. Even though you save weight and
eliminate pinch flats the tire would probably have less lateral
stability (folding over) and less bounce. These are all just geusses
though

Can you say fold over?

if you put enough air in it, fold over won't be a problem...and great
trials riders like Ryan ride on relatively high PSI anyway. so I don't
think it'd be bad.

I don't think fold-over would be much of an issue. Just pump up the tire
some more. HIgher pressuresmake the uni more stable and help tokeep the
rim from bottoming out.

Someone on this forum (dirtsurfer?) made a tubeless muni with a try-all
rim. That said, I think the same could be done with a 19". I think you
can use the standard try-all rimstrip (and some adhesive of some
sort...), but I'm not sure.

ahahahahaha dude, do u know who u r talking too!!

its Ryan Atkins, king of the trials lol, i think he has enuff knowledge
about tyre foldage from his riding!!

neway i dont reckon it would fold if u put enuff air into the tyre, its
really about the thickness of the sidewalls of the tyre

well,
Thanks for the input, yeah those were all things i'd thought of. i
think it will improve the feel of the tire, and keep the weight
relatively the same (with all the stans no-tubes stuff i'll use)
anyways, i'll tell you all how it goes

a great trials rider like ryan would annhilate a tire at way higher psi
than an average rider. the pressures involved with jumping farther are
way higher, it most definitely would fold over a lot more. for an
average rider, it would be reasonable, but for a better rider, not so
much

Here is a typical Ryan situation:

I have personally fixed flats for Ryan twice (including after this
gap), and I've only ridden with the guy a handful of times. I think
he's very likely to be better off with a tubeless setup with higher
PSI; fold-over is a function of tire sidewall stiffness combined with
PSI.

fold over is not the problem. the tire separating from the rim and
"burping" is

Everyone is saying how bad it is, but how many of you have actually
tried it?

Im curious now.
