Tubeless Recommendations

clog

I've been running Hutchinson Atom tubeless this year and have been very happy with them.
I got a set of the ultegra tubeless compatible wheels from Rose last week and I was looking for options on tyres. While the atoms have been great they are a very narrow tyre (the 23mm measures in at 21mm). Ideally I'm looking for something a bit wider.
Was thinking of maybe schwalbe tubeless but I don't know anyone who has experience of them. Has anyone any ideas/experience ?.

I'd also love to hear from anyone using Schwalbe.

I've used Hutchinsons Atoms and Fusions. Of these, the Atoms are superior - I was 2 minutes faster over 40k (not that that is all down to the tyres), had no puncture issues with them all season.

Have been using them last two months. I have no experience of any other tubeless tyres tbh, but I like the Schwalbe. Any particular questions?

Hutchinsons are v. difficult to fit first couple of times - same with Ultremos? Over months the Hutchinsons seem to stretch and aren't so bad, but the first time is not pleasant. Atoms are easier than Fusions in that regard too.

Thanks for the reply, can I ask a couple of questions,:

How durable do you find the tyres, would you think they would stand up to intermittent use over the winter.

Any idea who has the best deal on these, I'm having trouble finding them in stock anywhere.

I've been using them a few months now and got my first puncture a few weeks ago. Didn't notice til I got home so no idea when it happened but tyre stayed inflated enough not to notice. I use them on the rollers too and I think they're holding up fine.

I think I got mine via Bike24, if they're out of stock Jedi Sports (?) I think do them.

I, however, respectfully disagree with disco1, I found them really difficult to put on and whatever way I did it I don't think they sealed 100%. I out them on Shimano Ultegra tubeless wheels btw, who seem to deliberately fail to supply valves with removable cores.
