Title: Question about spoked wheels
Post by: DirtBiker on June 19, 2007, 05:41:29 AM
Are they tubeless?  :-k  



I thought they were but when I removed the tire there was a tube. Which will not work with my tire balancing idea.

I've used Air soft gun pellets in my truck and cars and they work great!

I was hoping to use the same principal on the bike.



Thanks

Spoked wheels use tubes. There are a few exceptions, some people sealed spoked rims and converted them to tubeless. Do a search for "tubeless spoked" and you'll find some info.

Thanks.

I've seen some in the past but they were very expensive. Oh well maybe I can fit the bellets through the valve stem.

I've been wondering if the seal spoked tyres are suitable for off roading Tigger?



How well does the sealing hold for little dings in the rim etc?



Another question would be when the time comes to adjust the spokes. It would be good to hear from some of the guys whove done this.
