avo Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 When you put a tube in a tubeless rim do you need a security bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not if you use a tubeless tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 you will loose grip aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 no, and theres probably no place to drill the hole, if you wanted to do that. just make sure the tyre is well seated and the tube isnt nipped and you will be fine. in theory you may loose some grip, in practice i doubt you'll notice unless you are very good and particularly well tuned to the bike/conditions.

grib Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have got a front tubeless rim that I want to use (with a tube) - should I use tubed or tubeless tyre, and would I need a security bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
