Kenda
Tubeless
I've just had my first experience with 'Stans', CO2 cannisters, & installing a tubeless tyre. Quite straight forward, thank you to YouTube!
I have XTR tubeless ready rims. I have this evening taken off Kenda Small Block 8's (wirebead - with an inner tube) and replaced it with a proper tubeless tyre (Maxxis LUST Crossmark).

So, you've seen the picture, here's some first impressions from a quick 2.5 laps of the Dam (first lap with some tech stuff over near Forestville - no, not Bantry Bay!).
Coming from the Rush the position is more upright, cockpit shorter and ride very plush. That plush feeling partly due to lack of air in the rear shock. In fact it bottomed out first water bar I hit (just after school) so stopped and put more in to firm it up. Added a bit more later which sorted things out. Was used to the geometry change shortly after, no problem.
