@Bernie: Try finding a Blackburn “Bomber Cage”. They’ve been out of production for several years. Made to hold a two liter plastic water bottle. Designed by WTB. Since Mark Slate, owner of OS Bikes, is a principal in WTB, he added the mounts for the Bomber Cage to the Blackbuck, since he wanted to be able to use his. (Bomber Cages require three bottle bosses)

Topeak makes a similar cage for 1 liter bottles.

I have had no problems at all using the NoTubes 26″ Freeride strip on the Blunts. I did resort to more DIY problem solving using the standard 29″er strips because they were not as wide, but Freeride strips are the ticket for smooth Blunt tubeless application. Ghetto works great too for those wanting to save a few $$. A couple of Schrader valve Bell tubes from Wally World for $2.97 each for those with the NoTubes syringe to insert the goo through the valve core hole.

Thanks GT and the rest of you for the great info! Just purchased set with XT hubs for my SS Salsa Selma build, “Frost Blue”. Running tubes now but will want to convert to tubeless.

I converted my Blunts (laced to Hope Pro2′s) to tubeless very easily on my On-One Scandal. I sealed the spoke holes with fibre tape. I then cut to size & fitted 20″ road tubes; fitted Hutchinson Pythons tubeless ready tyres and they sealed up straight away.
