Hello. I'm looking for a little help and couldn't find the answers below, so here's my question.

I'm using Enve twenty9 XC disc clinchers which are tubeless ready (with the MTN tubeless kit). Will I have any issues mounting Stans Raven Cyclocross tires? What other relative fast tubeless cx tire should I consider (35mm preferable)? This would be a race only setup.

Thank you.

Should have no issues. Try Mud2s and Kendas.

Shouldn't have issues. Might want to get some rimstrips just in case (if you don't use them, you can always return them).

Specialized The Captain 2BR is a nice tire, 700x34c
as well as Vittoria Cross XG Pro, 700x34c (the bead is tighter than that of Specialized).

Though... Enve's tape looks a lot like Gorilla duct tape.... so you're paying a lot more money for pre-cut tape with the Enve name on the cardboard.

Should have it all in my hands soon. Thanks.

You are correct. Enve tubeless tape is Gorilla Tape.

Even better, McMaster sells generic strapping tape in a variety of sizes and quantities.

I've had mixed results with Michelin Mud2s and very good results with the Specialized 2bliss tires. Tubeless for CX can work very well but requires some experimentation. It is not a plug and play solution.
