They had a Specialized Pathfinder Pro, and offered to mount it, and if it didn't work, no charge. The tire inflated right away, popped, and seated perfectly. It was also a bit wider than the Gravelking at 42mm vs the 38mm. Has anyone seen a database of good rim/tire combos for tubeless? So far the good tires know of for the Wtb i23s are the Maxxis Rambler and Specialized Pathfinder Pro.
