It works so well on the Patton. 😅 Please on any wheel!

novazeus Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 i'm definitely interested. since the only leaperkim wheel i'll ever see is the one that i buy, is the build quality and safety on par with the v13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see teardowns soon, to reveal the specifics about Lynx. Wait to order at least until then. 21 minutes ago, novazeus said: safety Abrams taught us that "safety" is to be proven in use, never trusted up front. Odds are good that it will be a reliable machine, but we can't be sure until production units are in the hands of retail customers for a few months of real-world use. #nofirstbatch 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As, although it is always good to get an early look/glimpse at New wheels provided by the usual selection of YouTubers, very rarely are ANY early batch issues uncovered/talked about by said YouTubers! My personal guide has always been to at least wait for the highly reliable and unbiased EcoDrift teardowns to uncover potential weak points, followed by actual owners experiences/feedback!

Eco Drift Life tore down a brand new just unboxed S22, and demonstrated how badly the sliders were on their batch 1 unit. Low and behold, my much later batch production unit was exactly the same out of the box. They left nothing out. Impressive! Moreover, for those who have strong technical background, they can most likely get even more out of their teardown videos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jason McNeil Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 This morning's update: LK is testing tubeless stems on the street CST C6501 & K262. The main concern is that it rides/feels the same & that the tire wall is stiff enough to support tubeless, tubeless tires are typically 6ply vs 2-4ply for tubed tires. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one used on the Abrams became reliable after I put a little work in it. Very happy to see Leaper Kim is improving on quality even on a part as basic as a tubeless valve stem.

Having this tire on my EX30, I would not trust it to hold tubeless. Its just way flimsier than the true tubeless motorcycle tires like the popular michelin tires. Unless leaperkim did something special with that rim, but I still wouldnt trust that tire on a rim meant for tubeless. Love the tire otherwise though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the tire otherwise though If the CST is a "tube type" fitment and not a genuine "tubeless", as you state in your post, I ONLY forsee issues with Leaperkim mounting it on the tubeless rim (however they go about it). The construction of the tyre is critical to a reliable seal and more importantly, the tyre actually staying on the rim! The OG Sherman already went through a period, early on, of tyres coming off the rim in some cases, so a repeat of that would best be avoided at all costs! However, that can ONLY be guaranteed by using genuine "tubeless" tyres from reputable brands such as: Michelin, Continental, Metzler etc. etc. With All the EUC manufacturers unfortunately still skimping out on cheap Chinese tyres, it will need a complete change in their mindset for proper/reputable tubeless brands to be adopted going forward.
