BigGuy Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 guess you know the story about using deep heat between two bits of latex? No. Please give us the details. I'm learning stuff here... it's the only way to find out if a johnny gets broken before it's too late. one of you is gonna scream and go off looking for a cold water tap?at a rapid pace Does it have to be deep heat, or could I substitute it with Stan's or slime?

scotty Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 BTT if you get good quality liners and slime tubes you should have no problems. My liners look like they have been wrapped around a porcupine but the only stopping i do during a ride is to help others fix their punctures.

Maybe I could use a mixture. When you hear/feel the pssft-pssft-pssft it is kind of reassuring because you know if you keep going it is going to seal again and you do not have to stop and get off your ride there and then. What's the cricket doing? Oh, sorry, hijack on/off.

rad006 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 My findingsTube with slime = FAILTube with 1/2 bottle Slime + liners = FAILTube with 1 bottle Slime + liners = PASS for 6monthsTubeless Observation on Rocky Rides = FAIL Conclusion until someone irradicates the world of thorns or broken pieces of glass use a tube + Bottle of Slime + Liners else if you got the cash to waste and love a mess when you need to put a tube in anyway go tubeless... If anybody would like to prove me wrong you are welcome to donate a Tubeless kit + Tyres to me and I will prove you wrong :-P PS you are welcome to install it your way as well on my wheels
NotSoBigBen Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 rad you tchop ........ we got 5 MTB's between me and LBB and 6 sets of wheels all tubeless and tubeless whips all that other stuff's arse anytime. Even a ghetto with slime other than Stan's or Joe's is better than all those liners and slime tubes and stuff You aren't a real MTBR till you have burst at least one tubeless conversion in your own garage/lounge/kitchen ....... On a serious note the only thing I would say is if you go tubeless rather use 'proper' tubeless tyres as their sidewalls are less prone to cuts (note less prone not immune to)
rad006 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 BigBen agreed about proper Tubeless Tyres being used but Im just saying from what ive seen... I will try Tubeless already might come to you for the Gheto Conversion Though
NotSoBigBen Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 - btw sorry mate the m/bike is gone .......
NotSoBigBen Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 My cousin and he won't be parting with any bits ........ Ah well Lil'ben got his car today so lots of excitement around!
bored girl Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 My 2 cents...i rode a year and a half with dr sludge tubes only (2 sets in that time and i only replaced set 1 cos i was paranoid). Then at Knysna last year I suppose i wasn't paranoid enough and the life of my 2nd set was gone i had unpleasant experiences...3 of them. So was teased that i didn't have tubeless. Got the ghetto conversion done and that worked OK for a while. Now with my proper tubeless tyres,rims,proper stans and what not and on the way to the start of the race yesterday,while riding on the tar i get a cut...so much for worry free race. Basically...nothing is 100% and you should hope that you lucky and you don't get a puncture during a race...whatever method you've chosen...
cat-i Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 You aren't a real MTBR till you have burst at least one tubeless conversion in your own garage/lounge/kitchen ....... at least the tiles in y lunge is puncture-proof now ... haven't had a problem with them puncturing after the half a bottle of stan's that ended up there ...
