I have a 4 Hutchinson spiders non tubeless.All new.

I used to run the hutchinson spiders ust on my American classic wheel set with the stans ust conversion. I like them.No problems.

Has anyone tried running the tubed hutchinson spiders tubeless?

Is this going to be fraught with danger if I run the the tube version tubeless?

Hutchinson tires are on the "Do Not Use" list on Stan's Website due to weak beads...I'd take that with more than a grain of salt myself

So are you saying it maybe could be done?

Don't worry I'm not going to hold you responsible if it burps

I'm saying it shouldn't be done, but not saying it can't be done

I've ran non ust kevlar 2.1 and wire bead 2.3 spiders tubeless no problem. The wire beads came to me folded so they were a real biatch to seat. I don't pump a tire pass 45 psi and never had a sidewall bulge from spiders or nevegals in 9 years of being tubeless, michelins on the other hand are a different story. Of course ymmv.
