Anyone ever had any success with Stans Tubless kits and Giant P-XC2 29er rims?
I have been told those rims can be tricky to get to seal..

Which kit did you use?

Thanks

Ken

I've only ever used Stans on a UST rim with a tubeless ready tyre. So the tyre sealed real easy.

I have been using Bontrager rhythm strips and valves in my PCX2 rims for the last 2 years and they have been perfect. You don't have to worry about damaging tape when installing or removing tyres and they are also removable if you break a spoke and won't get punctured by a broken spoke. Get them from a Trek store.
