I don't knwo why Dunlop tols they have no FIM Tires?!
I ran a Dunlop D907 on my EC300 which is a FIM legal tire. The successor is the Dunlop Geomax Enduro. I ran the D907 on a lot of Enduro Events here in Germany and the grip is great, in my opinion better than the Metzeler or Michelin FIM tire. The biggest difference is that Metzeler and Michelin do a lot of commercials for thier tires. |

i've used a quality - not walmart - bicycle pump to get 110 psi . i've also used my compressor with the regulator set at 110... it helps if you have no air in the tire...

FWIW....once the tire has been set and bead seated properly that small tube will still hold the tire in place at much lower pressure than 100psi. 75psi or even lower will still hold it in place so don't go crazy worrying about keeping it at 100psi all the time.

Costs in US
I may be in the U.S. later this year - how much do you guys pay for these and where do you get them from - in the UK they are £99 so I'd guess about $100 in the U.S. (2/3 of the cost to me)
Are there any other problems with the system I should be aware of? What do you do in a race if you actually puncture?

You can use a standard "rope" type tire plug for automotive use. Tubliss also sells a plug kit.

They're £90 over here and there's about 1.55 $/£ so in the US to me that's £58 (£32 cheaper...) though I'm keen to get them as soon as i get the engine rebuilt as i like the sound of them and would like to try them for the racing season this year.

If you're talking the plug, then I don't know. My brother in law has been running a plug in his tire for a couple of months now.
The Tubliss insert, provided you don't damage it should last for a very long time. Keep evil solvents off of it, and be careful you don't rip it with your tire irons and it should last years. You don't need to remove it once it's installed on the bike.
