MAVIC XM317 rims

tommysparks · 2008-06-16 21:47:07

Hoping someone can help me out with this one. I have a set of Mavic XM317 rims that came with my Giant XTC. Does anyone know if I can buy tubeless tyres for these rims and if anyone has done this before, have they hit any snags? Ta very much

You can use tubeless tyres with XM317 rims, but you'll need to use a conversion kit (since the rim is full of holes...).

Your options are a purpose-made tubeless kit such as Stans, Joes or Eclipse/DT Swiss or the ghetto option.

You can also read more about tubeless conversions here:
