Anyone has this tyre running with No-Tubes "milk" in it ? No probs ?

"Milk" being Stan's sealant, then I know several people running the non-UST Ardents with Stan's with no problems. I'm pretty sure that they are all running Stan's rims as well FWIW. I'm actually planning this swap in the next couple of weeks.

I'm running a 2.4 Ardent upfront on a 5.1 rim with no problems. Sealed up pretty easily with just yellow tape.

Been running 2.4 Ardents on No Tubes Flow rims w/ Stan's for over a year now with no issues.

Well ,the tyres went on smoothly and with no issue's , BUT ....both have a "woble" (what's the right word here??) , can't feel it when riding but i see it and it makes me nervous. Is this normal with these tyres or is the combination ,Olympic rim - Ardent a no go ??

Are you sure you fully seated the bead on the rim?

Think so , inflated it up to 5 bar , heard a loud and clear "pop" .

Is the line around the circumference of the tire just above the rim perfectly concentric with the rim? If not, it can cause a wobble. So, if not, try it again with a little soapy water. I've occasionally had a tire that took a couple of tries.

Take it to 6 bar. You might be surprised how much it takes to fully seat.

It doesn't take that much. 6 bar is almost 90 psi. He might be surprised alright.

Not Maxxis, but I recently did my first tubeless conversion, Schwalbe Ralph on back, Ron up front on Mavic 223 rims. Both tires have a similar wobble that you refer to. I tried hard to get them straight, with no luck. I've done a few rides with no ill affects, so you should be fine.
