gizza5 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Right done the search and I am sure it has been asked before, but will a Tubeless tyre fit on a Tube type rim (Bultaco). I will be using a tube and the security bolt? Long time since I had a bike with tubes in the rear (SSDT boys have got it so easy now), I am collecting a Bultaco for one of my friends and tasked to help him. As I have some half decent tyres in the garage where i have nipped the side wall I was wondering if they would do the trick? As this Bultaco has been in a garage for over 20 years without turning a wheel, I wonder what rubber it will have on?? I am guessing a Pirrelli, we will see?

b40rt Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Some tubeless will say in place, others wont - in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 We tried this on a mates Beta Techno without a security clamp and it slipped around within 50yds tearing out the valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motovintage Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 yep, no problem, been using my take-offs on my vintage bikes for years with no problem, from an engineering stand point there are some issues but just use a good quality tube and a rimlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
