Default Tubliss

Does anybody know anything about the Nuetech Tubliss tyre system. www.nuetech.com It seems like a good alternative the mousses and balls if it works as well as they claim.

There are a few threads on KTMTalk in their tire section that go in depth on this product. Get informed over there on the tubliss system.

I have a friend who has been using the 21" with good results. He rode about 1/2 the enduro season here in New England without a failure and it's about as rocky here as anywhere. There are some tricks to mounting them initially and getting the system to hold air but once you figure it all out they work great.

TONS of info on KTM Talk in the tire and wheel section so check there for sure.

I was ready to order some, but it seems they're out of stock. I want to try these and see if they'll be what I want to use at the ISDE. I was planning on using tire balls, but this looks even better.

I'm digging and coming up empty. Did this company flop?

I just got an email from Jeff at Nuetech. He said that he'll have 18" units available Jan 5, and 21" units available the first part of February.

Not a fan of Tubliss. If you rip a knob off the tire, it goes flat. Not good. Mousses or tireballs are the way to go for offroad.

That is a good point, however, since I'll be changing tires often, I think the risk is low. I'm going to try them now, and see how they perform for me. I believe I'll be able to change both tires in the work period if I do tubes, or tubliss system. I struggle to get even one mousse changed in 15 minutes, add the fact that I need to switch air filters, and I've got a problem.
