SIP TUBELESS WITH Schwalbe RACEMAN Question

[philhnottm]

Just fitted a set of these to a P2 Disc

Space between rear tyre and RH JL is very very tight. Is This normal ???

Gather i dont need extra spacers , washers etc They seem bigger tyres thanthe Coni's that i took off.

Also is it worth putting Puncture Gel inside like i did in my old tubes???

Any advice welcome

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil, it is normal for there to be very little space between tyre and JL exhaust, I wouldn't pack it out with washers as it starts putting stress on the exhaust.

I don't bother with the goo in mine, but I suppose it is good practice.

Keep an eye on your rear shock as well. My schwalbe raceman tyres were rubbing - especially when it's loaded with gear - I ended up putting a wee spacer washer between the hub and the wheel for a bit of extra clearance. Mine were split rims though, not tubeless.

the racemans have a wider tyre wall than most other tyres, you will find they look a lot wider too because of this, even though the tread pattern will be the correct width as stated on the tyre,
