Sidmouth Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I have a set of Ultegra Tubeless wheels.I have used a tubeless Tyres before, but due to a lack of affordable training tyres i am using normal tyres with Tubes, I have just installed a normal tyre without the tube,but am afraid to venture out with it, so my question is can you use a normal tyre on tubeless rim without a tube.
BMXER Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 On a Mtb, you are A for away. On the road, I would be afraid, very afraid.
Pah Bear Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 As long as you riding in a straight line, OK. Just don't go around corners. Then you might as well ride on your rims.
Jonkie Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I have been using Vittoria Rubino Pro3 tyres tubeless for about 2 years. Haven't had any problems.
Sidmouth Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks GuysCan you explain the principle behind this?why would a tube make a difference, the Tyre is held on my the tyre beading, and stays in place with the outward pressure of air, same as a tube
Sidmouth Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 I have been using Vittoria Rubino Pro3 tyres tubeless for about 2 years. Haven't had any problems.Thanks Jonkers, If i am correct these tyres are no rated Tubeless but you use them tubeless anyway?
Jonkie Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks Jonkers, If i am correct these tyres are no rated Tubeless but you use them tubeless anyway? Yes. The idea of tubeless is to run lower pressure. I weigh 73 kg and run 85 psi at the back and 75 in front. Been down Helshoogte numerous times at full speed with absolutely no problems. You will have problems if you try and run them at high pressure. There is no increase in rolling resistance at the lower pressures, just a nice smooth ride with increased grip.
Spoke101 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 The difference between tubeless tyres and non tubeless tyres is the type and shape of the tyre bead.A tubeless tyre bead is designed to pop into and seal tighter with the rim as well as the tyres generally having a tighter fit on the rim.

Surprised it holds, I experimented on a Conti tire but the tire couldn't hold the air.
Jonkie Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 sealant? Surprised it holds, I experimented on a Conti tire but the tire couldn't hold the air. Yes,with sealant. It loses a bit of air in the beginning but after 2 or 3 rides it is fine.
