Has anyone any experience of these ? I have some normal Eurus and the tyres are always difficult to get on so i'm a bit concerned about the fit of a tubeless.

Also, i would be using them for racing - they suggest lower pressure = lower rolling resistence - seems to defy logic.

Would like to hear from anyone thats had experience with them.

Thanks.

you dont run tubeless with less pressure. Ride them as usual. ride mine at 100 -105, even more. they ride nice, and stay on the rim if you flat.

I have them on Eurus wheels but you need an air compressor to seal the beads
on them ounce on and pumped up they are OK they feel great and can reduce pressure if its wet.
Get hold of some glueless patches so if you have a flat just stick a patch on outside untill you get home

I am having tubless Hutchinson fusion on Zonda. They are great at high presssure up to 10 bar, and having feeling like on 13 bar. I never used air compressor to pump it. And if not fitted properly it may be some liking as well, as i discovered. They are pain it the *** when have to be mounted but.

Thanks chaps. Are they hard to get on the wheel ?

Do not know for other brands, but Fusion 2 Hutchinson they are, be sure to have proper mounting lever, broke mine plastic fantastic first time and bought metal ones.

Good luck with mounting:p

The idea is you can run them at lower pressure and have lower RR (due to the lack of interface between the tube and casing) but not that you have to.
Most peoples tyres are inflated to a "comfortable" pressure regardless
