Mongoose001 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Im sure this has been asked before so apologies if it has. So i have a lemon mtb. Lots wrong with it including the wheels. Got a offer for a pair of rims, thing is they are tubeless rims. What i wanted to know is if normal cheapy tires will work on tubeless rims :-( Thanx
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Most should work just fine, as long as it's foldable...Game tires for instance wont work
bikebloke Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 ghetto tubeless setups prove you can make almost any tire and rim tubeless if you try hard enough
Mongoose001 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Game tyres mmmmm. I paid 120 each, new for the tyres. So i guess its Game tyres. Jurre this fn bike se chops man! Wait, foldable? My tyre has the wire in it. Ffs!

My tyre has the wire in it. Ffs!go to Olympic cycles in the back of the ground floor are boxes of odd unused tyres all sorts (mtb) some old but all usuable if you dig around -ill bet if you haggle with the guys you can find a few folders and pay about 100 a piece even if they aren't tubeless if you try hard anything will go tubeless
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Eish. Might be a better bet to upgrade your mtb first before going tubeless from what I hear...
Mongoose001 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 I think thats a good idea Petri. But my $$$$ only coming in January hopefully. And still so much to do with that little. Moving to the northern suburbs next year so hopefully i can get a working mtb and go riding with my boy. Im sure there must be places behind the boerie curtain i could go to. Dit vat net so donderse lank man. Well, when i get my new bike i will have aome goodies to stick on the pay it forward thread. Might as well do it now.
nolipoli Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 There is no reason why a wire bead tire can't do tubeless. I am currently running one without issue on my bike.
Mongoose001 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 Lol. You guys are confusing me. And besides, im wanting to show the mrs how muchproblems and issues this bike has. Will look into it. Thanx nolipoli. Oulike naam by the way lolol.

Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Wait... Do you want to know whether your 'normal' tires will work on tubeless rims, or work tubeless on tubeless rims?It seems both will. Check this out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IQX3CciWsSg
