mb191 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What tyres are there available for the tube type rim i know IRC do one (but dont like it on rocks) but cant see any made by Dunlop or Michelin as in the x11 version. Is it possible to run a tubeless tyre with a tube on a tubed rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sometimes on Acront rims, on others the beed drops back in at trials pressures. IRC's are better at 6psi in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 6psi may be ok on dry grippy rocks but in mud it's too hard = no grip. The problem with the tubed IRC, if you're a heavier rider, is the soft sidewalls which cause the tyre to roll around at normal pressure. If you're lighter it isn't an issue. The other problem is inconsistency as not all have the problem, some are ok. The tubeless IRC has a stiffer construction and these can be run with a tube on the tubed Akront rims fitted to most European trials bikes, as can a Michelin tubeless. I didn't find the Dunlop tubeless performed as well with a tube fitted as it did without. The Japanese Takasago and DID rims don't seem to readily accept a tubeless tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetom Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Even as a novice, I noticed how soft the IRC is unless its at 6- 6.5, and I found I seem to struggle in soft mud ( I'm 13 stone). What pressure are you running the tubeless( with a tube in) in the sticky stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaecowarrior Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Pop an x11 tubeless on with a tube inside. With rim locks it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
