Good post Epic, and welcome to our forum!

In my own wheels I run full UST though I've dabbled with a little bit of TLR. I mostly run them dry though I have one 819 that won't seal without a little dab of juice for the bead.

This comment stirred up a question for me too.... I have TLR wheels on my mtn. bike, and want to go tubeless with the least fuss and maintenance possible.  I am thinking that I can use UST tires mounted with just enough sealant to seal the bead, and that's all.  Especially if I use a sealant like Hutchinson, I am hoping I can basically set it and forget it.  Is this going to work? What has your experience been with TLR wheels?

Thanks!
