Re: Tubeless options for CX

I've been running the Stans  system on my race wheels: (ZTR 355 29er, stans fluid, stans strips, and Michelin Mud 2s for the past 2 seasons with absolutely no issues other than having to add new stans fluid at the beginning of the 07 season. I need new tires this season and will be replacing my warn muds with a new pair.
The downside, is that the 29er rims are wider than traditional road rims so my brakes need to be adjusted everytime I change wheels.  (thankfully has not been an issue during a race).

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Tubeless options for CX

So, I've been almost talked out of going to any kind of tubular set up 
for the Cross Crusade this year, as I'm not up to investing in 
multiple wheelsets and CX tubular tires at this point. So, I know 
there are a few people out there like Erik V that run tubeless set ups 
for CX, but it seems like a lot of people use Stan's sealant, which I 
understand will eat tires over the course of the season (because it 
has ammonia in the mixture).

My question is, has anyone locally used Bontrager's Super Juice 
instead of Stan's with a CX tubeless set up? Also, if you do use 
Stan's rims, are you using the ZTR 355 29er's, or what? Those are 24mm 
wide rims, so do they fit 32mm tires like Michelin Mud 2s securely 
enough to run them tubeless?
