You are confusing the terminology: Stan's is tubeless, not tubular. Tubular, aka sew-ups, are a tire sewn around a tube.
Stan's has road tubular, but it's expensive and tire choice is limited. It is intended for racers who will run high psi. You can read about it here: http://www.notubes.com/Road-Tubeless-C78.aspx If you're setting up a fairly fat tire with with lower pressures, you have more flexibility. For example, a Big Apple would probably make a great tubeless set up, but a Ram won't fit that. Run a 40mm tire at less than 60 psi, and it might work but I don't know for sure. But to run a 40 on a Ram, I imagine you need to do the 650B conversion. jim m wc ca On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 2:01 PM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm getting mixed signals on this -- partly scuttlebutt, partly via > Google.
