Eric,

I’m not sure on your question. Do UST tires work on stans rims? Yes.

Hope that helps…

Oh, duh I forgot that there are no UST tires for 650b (yet). Have you heard anything about UST on Stan’s other rims, e.g. the 29ers?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report ! You mention non-UST tires working well on the ZTR rim. Do UST tires not work, or have you just not tried them?
