29er tubeless tires for Great Divide

[stever1210]

Folks

I am looking for input on 29er  tubeless tire recommendations for the Great divide Route.
my rims are stans no tubes compatible

I am planning on heading out next July.

You comments are appreciated.

thanks

my experience with tubeless (and disks ad weird spokes and non-spd pedals) is all observational. I can state with certainty that my observations indicate the failure rate of exotic systems increases dramatically with one's distance from civilization. ONe's  ability to get exotic sytems repaired has an inverse relationship with the distance from civilization and quickly approaches zero.

Just an observation. When you're in the backcountry you need total reliability and easily field-repairable gear.

I hope you get some useful recommendations and have a wonderful trip. Be sure to thuroughly test your tubeless system and know how to cope with everything before you head out.

Stans tubless rims are compatible with regular clinchers. It's pretty easy to put a tube in a tubeless tire that won't seal properly on its own, boot the tubless tire, and replace the tubless tire with a clincher if need be.

Geax Saguaro, hands down the most reliable, best all round mtb touring tire I've used.

I like slightly worn one on the front because it wears to a nice center ridge.

I have not had a flat with tubeless tires in three years, including the Arizona Trail thornfest.  the goatheads in New Mexico destroyed our tubes.
