Yeah I gave up on any hope that it would be simple and easy to convert to tubeless. I've just ordered the following to fully convert;
WTB TCS Rim tape, 30mm wide for the E13 TRS rims that come on the CF One.
Stans presta valve stems pair
Stans sealant bottle 473ml
Maxxi minion SS 2.3"
Maxxis High roller 2 2.4" EXO

All of which cost me just over £100. So annoying that there's this hidden cost to have to add on. If anyone wants to buy 2 unused high roller 2's (none TR) for cheap let me know.

All of this and the bike should arrive next week so i'll let you know how it goes.

From Tippie's IG with Aaron Gwin. Looks like a different rear shock from spec?! https://instagram.com/p/BTI8AmvlFAn/

Edit: my bad, Aaron said it's 29

This is 2017, who doesn't include tubeless ready tyres on new trail bikes.

Dont bother just because they aren't officially labeled "tubeless ready"? Over at mtb-news.de, someone successfully used them for tubeless ;-).
YT says they aren't officially tubeless *wink*

I'll give them a try too using Tesa 4289 + Stans milk

I saw this frame protection kit on ebay and it seams by the description to be exactly the same as the invisiframe kit but the title says heli-tape. I've heard horror stories about ripping paint off when heli-tape is removed.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YT-JEFFSY-BIKE-FRAME-PROTECTION-KIT-VINYL-STONE-GUARD-HELI-TAPE-/112175172813

Has anyone tried this guy on ebay, he seems to be selling the same kit for loads of bikes and if it is a carbon copy of invisiframe why is it so much cheaper? £44 vs £75. Is it any good?

I need to change standard RaceFace 32T Cinch chainring on Turbine cranks. I would like to swap for 28T oval Cinch chainring. Any recommendation what type to use? Do I need any special boost / non-boost / offset settings? To be honest I am not familiar about this so any recommendation I would be very grateful Smile My model is ALU One 2017 27.5. Thanks

You need the standard, non-boost cinch ring. The spindles are matching it all up with boost.
I bought the standard RF 28T ring, and it's perfect, chain stays on backpedalling everywhere.

Hello,

I have asked YT for more information about my version (Al One with RF Turbine + RF 32T circle chainring) and I have received the following information:

"It should be a boost offset chainring."

and later:

"There is only one version of the Raceface 32T chainring, so unfortunately I can't tell you the exact offset of this chainring.

However we use a 3 mm offset chainring on the pro version which has the eagle equipped, so I know that the drivetrain can work with a chainring that has a boost standard.

Unfortunately we don't have experience with the oval chainrings, but maybe somebody on the internet did the same modification to his JEFFSY and could tell you exactly, which chainring you would need."

So looks like I need Boost with 3mm offset?

Do you think if this chainring with 28T, Boost, 52mm chainline, 3mm offset will fit my X1 setup ?

Anyone tested WTC oval chainrings, are they reliable?

Cheers,

This is 2017, who doesn't include tubeless ready tyres on new trail bikes.

Even though I agree that this is stupid​ in 2017, I run not tubeless ready high rollers​ on two of my bikes without tubes. Just add one more layer of duct tape than usual and you're golden. I'm ​using old valves from​ trashed inner tubes as well (I use a little bit of vacuum sealing tape called tacky tape to make sure they are not leaking, but I think it would work just fine without that).

If you spend 100$ on a tubeless kit then you are really lacking some creativity...

Might be fine with the HR2's, but I've read enough stories about different Maxxis tyres, not being fun when choosing none UST versions. Everything from sealant leaking through the sidewall, to tyres coming off the rim, due to the bead being different, and not suitable for tubeless applications.
That's more than enough to put me off trying.

Other than that, I'm not the biggest fan of the HR2's anyway. Due to the spacing between the center and sideknobs being a bit too large. Which makes them a bit unpredictable when leaning the bike. Well, atleast for me Smile

I have a 2017 Jeffsy 27 AL1 on hold. Emailed YT yesterday about their shipping timeframes and if the 4/26 was still OK. They responded and said that most likely my bike will be shipped out first week of May.

So...things are delayed, at least for the ALs. Can't speak for the CFs.

Got the same response from YT yesterday...looking at the first week of May for the Al bikes.

I think those that ordered the carbon bikes have received the month long delay.

Dude, AL1 frame, Turbine crank, I have 53 mm chainline, with standard, 6mm RF ring. (They are 6mm right? I measured from the high to the tetth middles.) As far as I know RF cranks have different spindles, and it's already boost spindled.

The seat post is 31.6mm that should give you an idea of what size clamp.
