My Big Bens are nearing end of life and I’m curious about setting up my Hunq tubeless. But I have Atlas rims, which Velocity says is a no-go. However if you scroll through the comments on this article, John Watson from the Radavist says they set up nicely:
https://theradavist.com/rivendell-hunqapillar-review/ So why would I want to do this? Mostly to get experience working with tubeless setups. My full-squish MTB and gravel/bikepacking rig are tubeless, and if/when I encounter issues with either of them (esp. if I’m in a remote locale) I’d like to have some hands-on knowledge with troubleshooting tubeless systems. I already have an air compressor, so basically for the cost of some tape and sealant I’d be good to go. Anybody have experience with making non-tubeless rims play nicely tubeless? Tips or tricks to share? Or is it just a bad idea, and should I resign myself to getting some new wheels built with Cliffhangers? I’d hate to have the Hunq out of commission that long, but if I timed it to coincide with out-of-town travel it probably wouldn’t be that big a deal. One last question — Cliffhangers are wider than Atlases by about 4.6 mm. How would that affect fender clearance? My intuition is that wider rims should result in a flatter tire arc, and potentially make it possible to go slightly wider if I wanted to. I have 50s now, and would like to be able to move up to 55s or even 60s.
