I'm lining up some winter projects for the kids Vitus Nucleus 24 and would like to convert her to tubeless. Schwalbe tires always confuse me since there are 10,000 compounds and variations, and the 24" Rocket Rons don't even show up on their website. I see that Trailcraft sells a version on their website ("Ultra light with 127-EPI-Evo-carcass" according to their description - logos just say "Performance") and in the description they say "Please note this is not a tubeless ready tire, but does work well with Orange Seal tubeless sealant." My plan was to use Skinny Strippers and Orange Seal since her rims aren't advertised as tubeless ready. The Rocket Rons on her bike now have the Performance and Addix logos, so I'm assuming they are the same tire. Has anyone used these on a tubeless setup for their kid, and how did it go?

Yes, my daughters scott bike came with 2.1 RRs. One of them mounted up tubeless without much issue, the other did not mount up. I ordered another pair of 2.35s and again, one mounted up fine, the other didn’t. Spent a lot of time trying to make it happen. At the end of the day, I have a 2.35 RR on front and a 2.10 on back that is tubeless. Should be good, but obviously there are some differences from tire to tire.
