[NMCycling] Road tubeless

[Tapley, George L via Bike-racers]

I also run the Hutchinson Sector 28’s.  They are my go to tire now.  Very light at 280 grams for the tire.  Not a harsh riding but very comfortable tire and they handle amazing.  Mounted on Easton rims the tires only measured to 26.5mm.  Mounted on a Stan’s Alpha rim they plumped up to 28.7mm, I thought they handled good on the skinnier Easton rim.  To my surprise they handled better and felt more comfortable on the Stan’s rim.

The Hutchinson Intensive was a promising tire, at 25 mm.  Overall it was a very harsh riding tire than measured at 23.4mm.  They did last a long time though.  The Fusion tires are also very narrow and harsh riding.  The casings on the Intensives and the Fusions seems much stiffer than that on the Sector.

Some friends have been riding the IRC tubeless tires in both the 23mm and 25mm widths and they have a very good ride.  The 25 was more like a 27mm tire.

Sure do wish that there would be some offerings to come out of Michelin or Continental.  Just to see how they compare.

I really like the Hutchinson Intensive Tubeless, I think they are all 25mm. Fusion 3s are a little softer and racier.

I have the Hutchinson Sector 28’s on my cross bike for road and gravel and running at 75 psi.  The are great for rough roads, gravel, etc., but if you are concerned about going fast on nice pavement, I would probably be looking at 23 or 25 instead.  The 28 is nice, but you give up a bit in aerodynamics and rotational weight is noticable.

Here is a good online review:  http://www.bikeradar.com/us/road/gear/category/components/tyres/road/product/review-hutchinson-sector-28-48424/

Hi all,
I am sorry to bother the list and revisit this but can one of you road tubeless folks give me a brief  rundown of what works and what doesn't. I saw Hutchinson has a 28c tire which is intriguing. Again, I apologize and will pay attention the first time next time.
Thanks,
