The rapid loss of air while riding can have disastrous consequences. Using only Yellow Rim Tape and NoTubes Tire Sealant on a conventional rim can result in catastrophic “burping” issues. Traditional (Non Stan’s NoTubes ZTR) rims including those labeled “tubeless ready” still require a black rubber NoTubes Rim Strip to achieve a secure tubeless setup. Please note that Stan’s Yellow Rim Tape by itself is not a tubeless conversion. (1) 10 yard roll will tape (5) 26″ rims or (4) 29″ rims or (2) wide road clincher rims.

Tubeless-compatible clinchers such as Vittoria’s Cross XG Pro had to be muscled onto the rim, but could be ridden at pressures in the 24/25psi range without any issues.Can be used with Stan’s ZTR rims to make them air tight or used as a light weight rim tape in any rim. In use, the NoTubes tubeless system worked as advertised. This wider profile, combined with NoTube’s patented Bead Socket Technology, is intended to provide more support when you run cyclocross tires at very low pressures, with less tire squirm and a decreased likelihood of burping air. NoTubes is a proponent of wide rim profiles, which do a better job of supporting and stabilizing tires than narrow rims do. Although the ability to swap tires to suit course conditions, rather than carrying a quiver of expensive tubular wheels, is alluring, the dependability of tubeless systems has been spotty. Tubeless systems for cyclocross have had several false starts. Our only criticism is that we wish the engagement of the 3.30 rear hub was quicker when stomping on the gas out of turns. The wheels have remained true and, despite repeated power washings, the bearings still spin smoothly. On the racecourse, the Iron Cross wheelset proved stiff enough for the task – not the equal of carbon rims, but far from flexy. Sometimes getting less than you paid for is a good thing. That adds up to a total weight of 1.49kg (3.28lb). With tubeless tape and valve stems installed, our test wheelset tipped the scales at 685g for the front wheel and 805g for the rear. The claimed weight for the Iron Cross wheelset is 1.52kg (3.35lb). 385 gram (manufacturer information) Effective rim diameter (ERD):, 600 mm ETRTO: 20.
“It will work,” Rich O’Neil of NoTubes told BikeRadar. “But I would personally use Crest or Gold rims – something that is wider, in a 32-hole drilling, with a more pronounced box section.” O’Neil notes that the Iron Cross wheelset has a suggested rider weight limit of 200lb.

This versatility could make the Iron Cross a contender as a race-day wheelset for a 29er mountain bike, though the rim’s profile and low spoke count make it less than ideal as a mountain bike wheelset for heavier riders. Similarly, the 135mm quick-release rear hub is compatible with the increasingly common 142x12mm standard.

Up front, the stock 9mm quick-release end caps can be swapped to make the wheelset compatible with 15mm thru-axle systems. The 3.30 hubs spin on cartridge bearings that are preloaded by securing the wheelset in the frame. Not lightning fast but quick enough to get the job done with very little drag. The 3.30 designation alludes to mechanics of the rear hub – three pawls engage a 30-point ratchet, which results in 12 degrees of engagement. The hoops are built around NoTubes’ 3.30 hubs, which are used on many of the company’s mountain bike wheelsets.
