So a 35mm front rim and a 30mm rear rim - I'd say 28's would be the best option. The front should still be in the 105% rule with a rim that wide!

Has anybody racked up decent mileage yet on this rubber?
Yes. I binned this one today I hit a box cutter blade eight miles from home at the beginning of my ride. A Good Samaritan gave me a ride home. This is my first un-sealable tubeless puncture. The good news is that this tire is very easy to mount. Once I got home I quickly mounted a new one and managed to still get a ride in for the day. The damaged tire was very easy to come off and the new one went on with the help of a tire lever (I use levers because it's so much faster and it saves my thumbs)DieselCondor wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 11:07 pmHas anybody racked up decent mileage yet on this rubber?

Wow, That's a proper slash! Don't think any road tyre would of survived that.
Thankfully the blade stayed away from your rim! Good to hear about the easy fit of the tyres- what size have you been using?

Good to know. If only you get find a set of 30's or 32's around...in transparent in the US. Found some in black...but want to get the transparent versions.

Everywhwere I have looked the transparant seem to be out of stock until mid Febuary.
The transparant do look nice but judging from this thread they are a little heavier than the black versions.

Where'd you find a black 30? Everywhere I've seen is sold out.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out the other 30%. If you are in any way offended, that's on you.
