Tubeless

[FasterThanFast]

Can someone please explain why the bike's ride feels diff

now that the wheels are tube free.

it gives an amount of lateral float....WHY???

[Canaris]

tyre pressure?

[TNOSE_E]

Less rigid without the tube... And pressure

[FasterThanFast]

is that good or bad

tyres @ 30psi

[Canaris]

every thing is personal preference.

[TNOSE_E]

what is your weight?

[FasterThanFast]

70

[TNOSE_E]

Should be fine for the weight but try run a bit harder on the back to eliminate the squelch if it bothers you.

 

I am 90kg and run at 40 PSI on the back.

ok

do i need to cary one of those tubeless repair kits with me

I don't think so. Tubes are not structural.

[Sammajoor]

Had the same feeling.  Just pumped the tyres harder

One of the huge benefits to running tubeless is running the tyre at low pressure so that it folds over rock and roots etc giving a much firmer foot print and more comfortable ride. This feature makes climbing rocky sections much, much better.

 

Pumping the tyre hard defeats this completely. As far as I'm concerned you should just run your tubeless hard enough to avoid burping and learn to live with and appreciate the squishy feel on hard surfaces.

 

Thats my 2 cents anyway.

Never knew tires could burp!! you learn something new every day!

Yip, and when you fat like me it happens very, very easily at low pressures.

thankfully i've had to use these more in the workshop and the bike room than out on the trails, but it's always good to have around. the weldtite kit is cool.

Other thing you should be careful of is denting your rim when running low pressures......so it must be just hard enough to escape it reaching your rim when going over roots etc....otherwise that loose feeling in your tyres is the good grippy stuff that makes you corner like a demon!!!
