dirtrider Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Let me ask the questoins now : What tyres do you want to use ? What rims have you got ? What tubes are you not gonna use ? and to answer your final question ..... NO
Flowta Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Continental make 20" BMX tubes with presta valves. Get your LBS to order for you.
Thug Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 You can buy the following full kits... Stans - approx R 750 - includes rim strips & sealing liquid. Joes - approx R ?? - includes rim strips & sealing liquid. You can buy the rim strips separately... Stans - approx R 250 each Joes - Approx R 250 for 2 Bontrager - Approx R70 for 1 Tubeless tyres are generallly more expensive than there non-tubless counterparts and generally are heavier with a thicker sidewall. You also get tubeless-ready. Easiest & cheapest would be to use your current tyres and utilise a 20" tube, if you running 26" and 24/26" if you are running 29" rims.

Hog_ Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Save your petrol and just buy the Joe's strips. I spent weeks looking for 20" presta tubes! I used Sludge sealant, local stuff. Dirt cheap and hasn't let me down yet. I even pulled out a HUGE thorn (one of those white bastids) the other day and it sealed instantly.
Wernervdmerwe Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Old thread, I know, but I just want to make sure I do not break things. I have Mavik 317 rims and normal Crossmark tires (non UST). If I buy the Joe / Stans kit (rim strips & sealant) will that allow me to throw my tubes away?
