That might be an option if I'm planning a trip state-side anyway (thinking Kingdom Trails this spring...), but if I'm not, then just wondering if I should order direct from Stans and pay the shipping, duty, brokerage fees, etc, or try to purchase through a local supplier.

Direct from notubes website or thru local dealer? Closest dealer Stans lists is in Levis Quebec.

I was running a light'ish tire out there with a very thin side wall . . . certainly not the sealant's fault not sealing a big gash. You'll love the cornering and grip.<br />Cheersthe original big ringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865105701772620245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572555494322710549.post-19423510218295505372009-04-30T06:35:00.000-04:002009-04-30T06:35:00.000-04:00What is your verdict on the NoTubes wheels?

I'm 190-195lbs (depending what I had for lunch), and I've never burped it or bottomed out on a rim.

Add in Stan's, and it's magic. <br /><br />I'm 185 and always ran 45rear, 34 front. Then one day I woke up and said to meself "self, why don't you try what these guys suggest and run lower." I made it to 34 rear, 27 front and the handling/suspension effect/lack of difference in speed was amazing.<br /><br />Big boy...what tire pressures do you run?
