Having good luck with regular 29er tires on Stan's rims?

I've run Small Block 8's, plus several Bonty and WTB tires on my arch's with no issues, unless I'm below 28psi... 6'5" 215. YMMV.

I have Arch and Flow flavors of Stans rims with tape only. Used Stouts, XDX, Crossmax and Ignitor tires with no problems of seating and staying seated. Love the Stouts and XDX's. Not so fond of the other 2 tires. Rimstrips are for non-tubeless ready rims.

I'm 185 and I usually run 26-30 psi. Do you use the rims strip at all or just yellow tape?

Edit- my question was for GreenG.

Thanks Duzitall, for the rimstrip clarification.

Sorry for the delay, we were both editing at the same time.

I use Bontrager rimstrips in my Bontrager Mustang OSB rims and they work well. I have used Stans rimstrips in 26" rims before. I liked the ghetto method better for DH rims and tires back then.

Yeah Flyer, I am primarily a TLR guy also. I have had 355's and now Arches...I went out on a limb last fall and ran a Rampage front (not TLR but supposedly approved for tubeless while not marketed that way by Panaracer) and a Crossmark rear, The Rampage is a tank and I have high confidence. The Crossmark is really supple and I have to admit has made a nice rear tire...but I am still a little skep on that so I run it rear only. Pretty safe combo. (Yellow tape only of course for all stans rim setups.)

I run my wide rims with tubes for winter, so done experimenting with tubeless for a few months now. Likely stick with TLR plus the Rampage in the spring...enough tread patterns out there and I like the peace of mind. No guarantees I know, but, I am happy with my past results.

Yellow tape.

Nevegal, Rampage, Saguaro, Ignitor, any TLR no problem

Stout....forget it.

Eh? Why's that? They are working great front and rear on my Flow's.

running an ignitor and a saguaro, tape only, zero issues.

oh yeah, on a flow

Stan's Flow and Arch, yellow tape only with Weirwolf 2.55, Ignitor, Exiwolf, XDX. I run the WW at 24 -25 psi. No problems at all.

They fit too loose and blow off. I like the tire, just not tubeless.

I've got the Flows with yellow tape and have run Rampages without any problems - front and rear... Just make sure to check them every couple months, as stans dries out in CO quickly.
