I just made the switch as well, and I'm loving it. One tricky thing for me was needing an extra long derailleur cable to make the distance from the end of my bar all the way to the RD without tight bends. I couldn't find extra long cables anywhere, until I asked for tandem length cables.

Anne, Don't despair! This is EXACTLY the experience I had on my Krampus, but now it's sorted and he'd climb a telephone pole if I had the legs. I think it's the front end-- it's really slack-- and the way there is mucho weight on the back wheel. While the All-Mountain geometry IS great for

Hi Anne, I've been running Knards (29 X 3) on my Krampus tubeless for several months with no problems. I used a couple layers of Gorilla Tape. I run them at 9 psi rear and 7 psi front with no problems and haven't had a flat yet. FWIW they're lighter now, too, but I primarily did it for low

Hi Patrick, Southern NM greetings to you! I'm afraid I don't have a way to measure the tires, but I'm running them on stock Rabbit Hole rims with the Gorilla Tape tubeless conversion (I think I read about it on Gypsy by Trade or While Out Wandering). I start to hit the rim at 6 in the front
