200 mile comparison of the older Schwalbe Rocket Ron TLR "Tubless Ready" Front Tyre & Racing Ralph TLE "Tubless Easy" Double Defence Rear after setting up with Stans No Tubes. These tyres have been ridden over all the thorny hedge trimmings I could find and hammered hard over the nastiest flints I could find - firstly the whole 100 mile length of the South Downs Way, then another 100 miles of riding on #TheRidgeway. This is one of the newer Schwalbe TLE Tubless Easy tyres which has an improved sidewall (http://www.schwalbe.com/en/newsreader/tubeless-easy-414.html). One wrap of rim tape on a Stans Flow EX and the tyre popped straight on. Over night the pressure stayed the same and there was no weeping through the sidewall. I decided to try the slightly heavier and more expensive Racing Ralph Double Defence tyre as I was getting really sick of flint gashes in the tread face of the normal Racing Ralph tyres, which I've already had to buy two of this year!! After 200 miles of abuse I've only had one puncture on this Double Defence tyre. A flint cut in the tread face on the South Downs Way ride, it took a couple of minutes to seal up as I was riding down a decent and didn't stop, but even then it only lost 10PSi. Other than that there have been no other punctures and there are no wet spots either. So far I'm really impressed with the Double Defence!!! #getoutandMTB #stans #stansflow #stanstubless #tubeless #rocketron @schwalbetires #schwalbe #muckynutz

The front Rocket Ron TLR required two layers or rim tape to enable it to inflate on a Stans Flow EX rim. Once inflated there was a little weeping of Stans Fluid through the ride walls in places but nothing serious and only a couple of PSi pressure lost over night after setting up! After 200 miles of abuse you can see the entire tread face of the tyre has little wet spots where the Stans fluid is sealing the hundreds of tiny punctures. There's not major pressure loss, nothing noticeable on a track pump at least, and after checking there is still a good amount of fluid inside the tyre. #getoutandMTB #stans #stansflow #stanstubless #tubeless #rocketron @schwalbetires #schwalbe #muckynutz
