I figured, thanks for the feedback 👊 Also im not sure it would stay fixated on rim during hard breaking of 20+95kg :-) but puncture proof would be epic Edited July 15, 2020 by Boogieman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that they have been trying to come up with a decent solid tube since the early 80's. MAYBE things have changed recently, but I bent many a rim and damaged my wrists a few times, trying them on bicycles. I know that flats suck, but we have to be honest about how flexible/adjustable the standard air filled tube/tire can be. Theres a lot going on with a tire as you set different pressures. Think of an aired up tire as an adjustable shock, a damn good one. If you want to see what solid may feel like, air up your euc tire to around 60psi and hop off a small curb. THATS the joy of airless bullshit. Not too expensive to try by buying one, just be mindful of your rim and knees. I hear that these sealant compounds (slime) have come a long way in recent years. Perhaps give some of that a try, if you're in areas prone to flats? I've never had luck out of it, but that was years ago and it doesnt mean you wouldnt. I wonder if kids know how to remove and even patch a tube with a kit nowadays? I bet not, and if you point them to a rotary phone, they wont know how to call for help either.

Boostnsvt Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I have been trying to find/order a tubeless tire for a couple of weeks and its damn frustrating. I couldnt even find the right size and ended up ordering a larger size that hasnt even been shipped after a week! Is there any resource or reference avalible to assist me in finding a good 80/80-14 or 2.75-14 size tire? After found is there a way to confirm its even in stock? As for the sealant topic I decided to use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00159O3NU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details I think this product will help immensley during the initial seating of the valve and tire beads since it has a high liquid/water concentration compared to the sludge/slime concentration of the other products.

OldFartRides Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Have you read this whole thread ? If not, you probably should. Myself, I have no opinion on the tube v tubeless topic. But I did get two nice tube type tires for the s18 from EWheels toot suite. Best,  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
