Schwalbe Big One ELs and Furious Freds set up tubeless with no problems: easy bead sealing and minimal, if any, initial air loss through the casing.

Does anyone know how easily and securely the Naches Pass Extra Lights sets up tubeless? Bead sealing? Casing impermeability?

Thanks. Just trying to weigh options.

No first-hand experience, but a friend has run them without issue for two years now and has found them to be very low-maintenance; that said the internet says they are more fickle than some other brands, but I get the sense those complaints are from earlier iterations of the tire.

Thanks, Jason; good to know. I'm not sure it's worth the while to convert, but must test the Airlock sealant in the tubes for another hundred or so miles.
