Tubeless 26 inch tires?

I did not know how hard it is to find them.

For road and gravel roads, think Costa Rica or Nicaragua, away from most of the cars.


I am fixing up an old Hard Rock, (93?=).

I ordered alex Adventure 2 rims, tubeless ready.

The Hard Rock needs 1.9, 2.0 is pushing my luck, 1.75 perhaps, x 26 inch touring tires, for a person afraid of trucks, and high traffic roads.

Tubeless ready tires, 1.5, 1.75, 1.9, something for the back roads of Central America.

But which tires are still out there? The ones I thought were easy to get were out of stock.


If anyone cares,

I bought an old bike for $29 at the charity shop.

Something Interjet can pile bags on top of without making me cry.

Fly into San Jose, and out of Managua, no case.

It now has xt and xtr parts, 10 speed, or 9 speed era.


I need modern tires, and could use canti advice to replace the 28 year old cantis on the bike now, Shimano alivio cantis still work after all that time.




Go to the beach, it is good for your soul.
