Mojoman Posted November 25, 2011 Share Thanks for all the comments & advice thats very helpful & much obliged! My guess was that tubeless probably too high tech - skill, sealant & Co2 required -will look up the 'ghetto tubeless' I have never used tire liners, is that simply old tubes or is it a commercial product? Nick - thats very generous of you, am off to have a look at your link!! Tyre liners can be bought, I read somewhere that you can also use old tyres (cut to size).

kosmonooit Posted November 25, 2011 Share I used tyre liners for many years before going tubeless, yes they do help, and still can be sourced from bike shops. I haven't had much success with slimmed tubes. You also get tyres that have extra protection like Schwalbe Smart Sam Tyre - Kevlar Guard from CRC I have had some on my pavement warrior commuter bike, and no punctures as yet.

The Drongo Posted November 25, 2011 Share Hi Craig, I run an initiative Build-a-Bike and I would like to contribute to preventing rhino poaching. As soon as I have a sturdy MTB built up, I'll contact you to donate it to be used by patrols. Cheers,Nick Then don't forget the Trek dude !

craigmac Posted November 25, 2011 Share Thanks for all the help guys - hard to keep up with it & do a days work! Mounts for panniers or carrier will likely end up abused - hard to belive just what can be loaded onto a bicyle! I was thinking backpacks as that will (hopefully) keep it to a reasonable limit....
