Tubeless Tires ?
OK so I just ordered rim system inserts so I do not need tubes ! Has anyone used this system and what have your results been ?
|
Love them,had them on the front and rear of my last 3 bikes. follow the instructions ,I use slime to mount and safeguard the tire as well.
|
I have been running a trials tire on the been running a trials tire on the back I would like to run as low a pressure as I can ?

Tubliss is all I run now, in all my wheels, knobby and trials. Stick with the stiffer trials tires like the Pirelli, Dunlop, and Mitas and they work great.

I've had great luck with them on my XR650R, I put like 30,000 miles on a set with no issue. I pulled the front off though as I wore out the red liner, the metal wire started to show through the red liner. The rear tire is still good.
So with that positive result I have had I had my 2012 EC300 delivered to me with TUBliss on the bike. So far no issues (I just got back from Moab last night). I know guys that had nothing but issues, my brother inlaw was one of them. I say yes to them. |
People with issues usually cause them. Biggest problem for some guys is grabbing the liner with the iron and nicking it, as it tends to stick to the tire bead and is not seen. I bounce mine around a lot after deflating to avoid this.

I've never felt the need to go this route. I have never gotten a pinch flat running 8lbs in the rear. I think a lot depends on tire and how heavy the bead is like on trelleborg or mitas. I'm sure some will say terrain but I run all kinds of terrain Including heavy sharp rock sections. Each to there own I guess but I wouldn't spend the money from my experience

Tubliss works great, but like everyone has stated be very careful when jamming your irons down in there to change the tires. The video on the tubliss website is a great tutorial on how to change the tire with out mucking up the liner. I always use an iron to push down the liner while grabbing the edge of the tire with the other one. And I always start at the liner filler valve. If the filler valve moves when changing the tire then you have grabbed the liner as well. I run an MT43 in the rear and only use the tubliss for the rear, never saw to much of a use for one on the front. I don't like to run a low pressure in the front with all the rocks we have here it would have a greater chance of dinging the rim.
