Tubeless alternatives to Compass 700x35?

I think QBP are still moving old stock 32s. The pair I ordered recently from my LBS were not marked tubeless ready.

My tires aren't marked tubeless ready either, but I was assured by Panaracer that they are.

I tried really hard to love my compass snoqualmie pass tires...ride was amazing, but too many failures. Switched to Schwalbe G ones and love them. Not as supple, but they roll fast and have been bulletproof on some really rough rides like Heck of the North

My Panaracer Gravel King 32s are doing great tubeless, and are basically the Compass tire with a more robust sidewall.

Tubeless?

Yes. Constant bleeding through the sidewalls, a burp that would not reseal, and 2 bulges that formed, 1 resulting cut beyond repair. Super bummed cuz the ride was amazing. I deleted the other bulge photo, but have to mention that compass did replace that tire no questions asked. Cannot complain about their customer service.

That tire pictured is the 700x44? What rims are you using? Orange Seal seeping through the sidewalls?

I’ve had flawless tubeless performance with Schwalbe g one and pro one road with the same rim setup.

Interestingly, the 700x44 measured only 42mm even on the wide Belgium+ rim

Mine also measured 42mm on my 19mm inner width rims. I've had no real weeping on these, unlike the 35mm's that oozed always.

Has anyone tried the Panaracer Gravel King 700x38?

Compass BJP weighs 355g, P-racer GK weighs 320.
Both are tubeless.

I'm wondering if the Gravel King 38 is an actual 38??

[dem]

..a better question would be "does anyone have them yet?!?"

Last I heard from someone who called Panaracer, the 700x38 slick is supposed to be available "early 2018"

[lukeheller]

Thanks for clearing that up.

If these measure a bit small they sound like they could be a contender to the Compass BJP tubeless. I'm waiting anxiously!

Im awaiting some real world specs from folks here that preordered from excel they will fit my needs i just need to fig out how big they actually inflate to on a belgium+ their 32's are great btw.
