turbo Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi, is it possible to run a tubeless tyre on a tubed rim? or would it be a big mistake. Also are the tubed michelin tyres that are still available exactly the same as the tubeless x11. thanks , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally why tubeless not a tubed tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubed type are a crap compared to tubeless with a tube fitted and seem to work on everything I've ridden over time. Not used anything other than Michelin...

rock hopper Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Have a Dunlap on my TLR and it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi OTF, the reason why is that I have had some new wheels built up and I could only obtain tube type morad rims this time,bit of a shame but it was my only option.

daved444 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I used Mchelin XLite tubeless tyres with a tube inside on my Akront rims last year with no problems - all I did was pump them up hard between trials to keep the bead in place on the rim - at trials pressures the tyre held well all season. I have gone back to an IRC tube type tyre for this season because I found a few with hard sidewalls, but they are a bit inconsistent compared with tubeless tyres that are available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
