ok tubeless update
I got some specialized 2bliss tyres. They are 31mm, flexible, pretty much slick, Specialized compound. On the invoice they were described as
Specialized
Black
Roubaix Pro 2Bliss Ready Clincher Tyre (Tubeless)
So the first thing I did was try to fit them to my wheels on the best bike which are Velocity Ailerons. These have worked fine with Vittoria Adventure II tubeless and Schwalbe S-One tubeless. However, the 2bliss tyres did not want to inflate. I tried them with a tube inside to stretch them a bit but this didn't help. After a couple of unrewarding afternoons with sealant spraying about I gave up
Today I had another go. I put them on a spare wheel ( Fulcrum DB Sport ) and they worked straight away. I had to use sealant but I think that was leakage around the valve - these wheels hadn't been tubeless before, it was a new valve
In other news I also have some of the new continental 5000 tyres on order and some Pacenti rims
