Fast R Posted November 18, 2010 Share Larsen Front - 2.5 - 2.8 barCross Mark rear - 2.8 - 3 barTubed wheels. Weigh in at 110kg (me, not the wheels!)Riding GT hardtail.Area of riding is the Magaliesberg. The harder the tyre for me, the less chance of a puncture. While tubeless may be good, the two guys I stopped to help at VG on Saturday were riding tubeless. One had not put any of the liquid in (so he said), I offered him a tube but his rims had the small hole. Second guy had lost air in his tyre and could not inflate with his bomb. Once again a tube was offered and once again he had the small hole in his rim. I had 0 punctures (temping fate here) and have not had a puncture in a while nor had any rim damage in 4000km. I am using those heavy thorn proof tubes. They may be heavy, but so is my ass!Interesting, would like to know if these oakies had tubless wheelsets and tyres or if the did conversions or a combination of conversion and using non tubeless tyres. I have heard so many variations of plans to either save moola or weight, I think something it going to fail if you do not use the right stuff. I ride tubeless wheelsets with LUST tyres and no punktures or snakebites as opposed to a snake bite every weekend with tubes, 93oddkgs on my HT.

Swift01 Posted November 18, 2010 Share I think we need rouxtjie to create some real stats for this post. Interesting I thought I would see a lot more Mountain kings but just off the top of my head seems there is a lot of cross marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
