Thread: stop blowing tubes

I ran my garilla tape tubless at 30 in the front and 32 in the rear on a local rail and its great feels like another suspension i can really feel a differance thanks for the help every one

tubeless systems use a sealant that will seal up any thorn punctures immediately as they happen. typically don't need new rims to go tubeless. possibly would need new tires depending on the make/model of your current ones. watch the videos here... http://www.notubes.com/support_movie... 7e8803642bf9 http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f ....to get an idea of what it takes to make the switch. well worth the effort,...

yeah 38 psi is really high for tubeless 40psi is max safe recommended if I recall correctly

Don't worry Ghettoing a tyre is a skill, took me 3 hours+ for my first one, now it is normally just a few minutes each (no compressor). For a pressure comparrison, if running 40PSI I will pinch quite fast on tubes. I run 7 on my front and 20 on my back tubeless. The 7 is approximate, none of my guages go below 10.

gorilla tape tubeless if you don't ride on terrain that might want to grab your tire (like rock gardens) gorilla tape is a bit easier, cleaner, and it's easy to re-use. But it also has a higher risk of "burping" air from the tire.

Where's the best place to get these items?

im not sure about tubeless but you could get those slime tubes. and run a slightly higher psi. i suspect you maybe pinch flatting also.

What size tire are you running? You might start experimenting with lower pressures, too.

hes running 38psi and pulling thorns out of his tires.. the thorns are definitely causing the flats tubeless with sealant is the cure for thorns.

I run my gorilla tubeless at 25psi & they grip awesome.
