[ Ссылка ] How to go tubeless on a wide variety of dual sport and light adventure bikes with TUbliss. Who hates punctures? I can't stand them. I have always been jealous of riders with cast wheels and those three minute puncture repairs using tyre plugs. Or BMW riders with those fancy wheels where the spokes go into the outer rim and allow tubeless tyres. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. I finally fitted the TUbliss system to my DR650 and it means way less potential headaches with punctures. I no longer carry spare tubes, tyre irons and patches. Just tyre plugs and that weird tool for pushing them in. Now before I continue, I must state that TUbliss is not DOT approved for legal road riding in the USA. Plenty of riders use TUbliss regardless, but there's always the possibility a cop knows what TUbliss is and can identify it on your motorbike. And thinks you should be fined. How does TUbliss work? Check out our reviews of various adventure bikes and dual sport bikes. There is an inner tube inflated to 100psi. If you like dual sport riding in Australia then you might like our adventure riding vids. This pushes the red plastic cover against your tyre bead and anchors it very securely to the rim. In effect you now have a tubeless tyre. What are the advantages? Less punctures. A lot of punctures occur when the tube is 'pinched' against the rim. This can no longer happen. Punctures are incredibly easy to fix. Leave the wheel on. Just insert a tyre plug. Also, if you have tyres with a very stiff sidewall, you don't even need to fix the puncture immediately. The TUbliss system holds the tyres so firmly it is like having 4psi air pressure. If you are in a tough situation you can still ride the motorbike through then fix the puncture. Super low air pressures. Riding in mud? Trying to get up a slippery incline? You can reduce your air pressure dramatically to improve traction... even down to zero psi. Your rims have better protection. TUbliss holds your tyres so firmly that there's less chance of dinging your rims. Do you usually run heavy duty or ultra heavy duty tubes to minimise punctures? TUbliss is lighter than both of these. Also, once you learn the technique you will find tyre changes are easier because you don't have to mess around with a pesky inner tube. Which motorbike models suit the TUbliss system? Keen on adventure riding in Australia? Check out our vids. It's designed to suit the narrow rims of your typical dual sport, motocross or enduro motorbike. 18” Tubliss for 18” x (1.85”-2.15”) rims, 21” Tubliss for 21” x 1.60 rims, 19” Tubliss for 19” x (1.85”-2.15”) rims. It will be the same as a sudden tube deflation from a normal puncture. You would need tyre irons, new tubes and an air pump capable of achieving 100psi air pressure. Have you tried the TUbliss system? What was your experience? Keen to hear your thoughts, let us know in the comments. Unfortunately there is currently no 17 inch rear wheel system. Eventually I saw a custom 18" inch rear wheel for sale and bought it. So I can not only fit the TUbliss system but access a much wider range of tyres. If you have a KLR650 or an XR650L this is well worth looking into. So what are the potential drawbacks of TUbliss? It's incredibly reliable if you follow the instructions. So you can't fit TUbliss to the rear wheel of bikes like the KLR650, DR650. What about motorbikes like the KTM 690 or Husqvarna 701? These actually have a 2.5 inch wide rear rim which is just outside of the specifications for TUbliss. However, if your rear tyre bead is at least 11mm thick here then apparently the TUbliss system will work.I have a DR650 and I really wanted to fit TUbliss. Most of the riders in our enduro group have been using it for the past seven years without problems. This has never happened to us but apparently it goes with a bang! Can the high pressure tube be punctured? A very sharp pointed rock could pierce the tyre, the red plastic cover and then the inner tube. It can happen with enduro motorbikes in very rocky terrain. But I think your average dual sport or adventure motorbike will not be in that sort of terrain. How would you fix it a blown inner high pressure tube? This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. All three are equally dodgy. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure.
