Subject: AW: Tube or Tubeless?


Absolute bullshit Ari, or my last three sets of tires (T66X tubeless 
with tube fitted) must have been punctured!
Ciao, Micha

Betreff:   AW: (XRV) Tube or Tubeless?

I just heard a rumour that using a tube with tubeless tyre can cause 
some
troubles because the inner surface of the tubeless is more rough  than 
that
of the tube type and there is a risk of puncture when the tube rubs 
against
the tyre.

Is this true or just bullshit, I dont know.

Hi Luis,
you can only install tires with a tube - cause the @ has tube type
rims. So, no matter if you install tube or tubeless tires you have to 
use a tube! I don't thin that there is a difference in the tire itself 
- but if you can get a tube version - take it!
Ciao, Micha ;-)

Betreff:   (XRV) Tube or Tubeless?

I want to buy a Metzeler Enduro 4 front tire, and the dealer says they 
have both tubeless and tubed versions. When I asked about the
diference
he told me it was the same thing.

What are the diferences and advantages between tubed and tubeless
tyres?
Why should I install the tubeless version? My current tires are Enduro 
3, so I already have the tube.

Thanks
Luis de Almeida
