Yeah 150 light weight can run a lightweight 400gm slicone dual wahtever, tire. same dudes could probably go with ultra thin durex. Put some rubber in that compound. and wire the bead thick. stans 29r w/ exiwold or moto raptor wire bead 20.99 a piece lasted 2years hardly looses air(don't use a pump for weeks between, but I don;t mind being a little low), never torn, everything else tears within weeks if not days. no need to be risky when you travel'n far. Wish kenda would make one of those d hills beast into a 2.1 X 29 wire. Haven't tried the nevegal or karma so can't review. but know many that like all the kenda's.

FWIW, the tire is a Bonty Mud X 29x2.0 and the rim is a Bonty rhythm pro scandium been riding this shit for 4 months now… i have cased my rear tire sooo many times i can’t believe it hasn’t gone flat…this might be attributed to me running a pretty narrow tire on a wide rim. i checked the sealant level after about two months and it seems that every bit of sealant that was initially added was still there. all i put in was the little free sample (50mL?) that i scored from cantitoe after NAHBS. i couldn’t believe it didn’t dry out. that by itself makes it worth it for me. so this shit is either working, or i am having an unbelievable streak of luck with my current back tire.

The stuff works great. The jury is still out on the kit that they send along to convert a regular wheel to tubeless. It's some red "tape" that you use as a rim strip, and the valve didn;t work on a DT Swiss rim that a buddy of mine had, we couldn't get a solid seal. That said, This shit is amazing. I just got home from a ride where the sealant saved a walk again. Caffelatex sealed a 3mm gash in my tire a month ago. The stuff works great.
