stupid tire question

I know this has been talked about again and again, but since I always had UST rims, I ignored all discussions...

so, if you have standard crimp rims - can you fit UST tires with tubes onto it?
Also, if you do a stans conversion - do you still use crimper tires or fit UST tires

apologies in advance..

no, you have to turn the tyres inside out
so no, unless it's a commute bike

UST, stronger sidewalls so less chance of burping. But does depend on the tyre rim combo though. (Have never been able to get low pressures with dtswiss rims and kits, even with ust tyres)

UST/tubeless are clincher, you're thinking of tubs/sew ups and yes you can pop tubes into UST tyres if you like
