I plan on trying the tubliss set up with a MT 43. I'm thinking of going from a 48 to a 51 tooth rear sprocket while I have the wheel off. I'm trying to make my bike more like a tractor to get through the leaf covered sharp rocks in Arkansas where I have been riding lately. I've been creeping up on the set up that I'm looking for and this should get me there.

I think I'm right in saying the Kawasaki Works MX team developed a tubeless system in the '80's. It wasn't succesful, but I can't remember why I will ask someone who will know and report back. The specially made tyres had a taller bead and a slightly smaller i/d than conventional tyres.

+3 on moto9's comments. I run 9 PSI up front in the technical rocks, a bit more if its faster with some rocks and less if its smoother. In all cases the M59 sticks like glue. Six weeks in a row of rock bashing rides and no problems. One less extreme day out with Cruiser on some better dirt was awesome too. Rim is fine, has a few black marks now but less than you get with a tube. VERY pleased, I'm done with tubes.

Too many riders love the tubliss system for me to not give it a try. No matter the tire it should work better by being able to run less air pressure when desired. Reliability seems to not be a problem for those who install it correctly and use a little slime.

BTW, I am running 13/52 on my KTM300. This gearing along with a FWW and Gnarly pipe allows me to climb very techinical terrain without a problem. It is even a little better than my EC250 with the MT43. |
