Tubed tyres on tubeless rims?
Is there any problem with fitting a tubed tyre (and tube) onto a tubeless rim?
|
No problems!
I do it al the time! |
The hole for the TL valve is bigger. A spacer exists which you install instead of the nut on the valve stem.
I suspect if you don't use it the tube won't come bulging out, either. ;-) Greeting from 1 1/2 Kiwis in France. ------------------ Salut from Southern France, the bikers' paradise, Peter. |
Just as I thought.
many thanks for your words of wisdom. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/biggrin.gif |
It is alot easier to plug a flat tubeless tire, than to break the bead and patch a tube then reseal the bead if you are using a tube in a tubeless rim...Especially on the side of the road somewhere.

Well Cameron is right, but:
-They don't make real offroad-tyres tubeless (TKC80 is not a real offroad-tyre) -If you go off the beaten track you should carry a tube even if you go tubeless and there is no betterplace to store it then inside your tyre:-) You get used to the bead-stuff http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif) |
