Tyre & Rim Confusion?!?
I've started a new thread because my confusion has moved to another level!
I have a '97 XTZ660 and I'm looking to get new TKC80's for it. I would like tubeless tyres but I don't know what the deal is with tubeless rims and how you tell.
I'm currently running Bridgestone Trailwings and the front tyre says it's "Tube Type" but the rear doesn't say either way and I can't find anything on the rim which gives me a clue.
The markings on the rims are as follows, but it's all Greek to me!
Front: D.I.D. Japan (I understand that bit) 96 --08 09-- J 21x1.85 1195 DOT
Rear: MORAD SPAIN 3.00 X 17 36T 1/01 E DOT
I can't find anywhere on the web that gives me any clue as to what the hell all that means. Folks have been very helpful so far with tyre size info, so can anyone help with this? A good website with the info would be good, or better still, does anybody know if I can run Tubeless tyres on these rims?
I have been watching Chris Scott's "DIY Tubeless Rims" thread with interest but it's getting a bit out of my depth.
Any advice, opinions or other info would be gratefully appreciated.
