Subject: Re: AW: Tube or Tubeless?
Hi all @-drivers,
I have a lot of experience about tubeless tires in my XRV 750 -91. I have
ridden over 100 000 kilometers and about 80 percent of that with Michelin
T66/65 tubeless version. I believe, that tubeless tyre does not cause any
harm, if you got the normal pressures on tyres. Once when I had pressure
very low because of rapid snow and ice weather, the both tyres were
punctured after 100 kilometers, but I am not sure was it because of the
tubeless tyre.
A good point in tubeless tires is that the air gets out not so quick as in
tubetype tires. If you lucky, you can drive your bike to the next gas
station. On high speeding it's safety question of cause.
Have a nice ride,
Jouko
Finland ( there is about half meter snow, but I will go next weekend out
with my Suzuki PE 250 have some fun)
