I have Mavic CrossMax rims (UST). Can I mount a non-tubeless tire (Maxxis Larsen TT) on this rim and not have to worry about it coming off the rim at speed?

Would I have to put a Stans rim strip on?

You will be fine.

What version of crossmax do you have? sl, xl,

from MAvics website.

"COMPATIBILITY
Cog: HG 8 and 9 speed
Suggested tire: from 1,00 to 2,3
UST Tubeless or regular tires with inner tubes
With regular tires and inner tubes, do not use any rim tape"


you could possibly try running a 'tubeless' setup with regular tireson the UST rims. Thats where a stans kit would be involved. I think if I was racing I would try that.
