One of the persons posting on that video indicates that he/she doesn't put in a tube but rather patches the tire with what look like a bacon strip. Mmmmmm. Bacon. https://shop.genuineinnovations.com/...ire-repair-kit Anyway, don't you need a special pump for tubeless to get that big burst of bead-setting air. Is a CO2 cartridge good enough? This is important to me because I want to make repairs as complex as possible being that I have nothing else to do in my life. Actually, though, I might go tubeless on the commuter if it means I can ride over spike strips, glass shards, hand-grenades, homeless, etc. Here you go Jay: http://www.tannus.com/ctg_1404308681.html |

snip If it were possible to make a proper tubeless bcycle tire with out goop, we'd all ride them. I doubt it. Unlike on most vehicles, you really don't want to carry a spare wheel/tire. A proper tubeless tire, able to operate at high pressure, would not be easy to repair on the road. While sealant will seal small holes, you need to put in the plugs to seal larger holes, and if you get a sidewall hole that the sealant can't seal, and that's too big for a plug, you're really out of luck. The bottom line is that with tubeless you still need to carry a tube and pump or CO2. |

snip And why don't they make them with radial steel belts and a 40,000 mile warranty! I certainly don't have to fix flats on my car every few weeks or months, and I don't have to put goop in the tires either -- and when they get soft, a light goes off on my dashboard. Why isn't that standard equipment on bicycles! I'm outraged and have decided to protest in front of a bicycle shop. https://cdni.rt.com/files/2018.07/ar...d13a8b45d1.jpg That was my last protest about poor road conditions in winter and traction loss on ice. Abolish ice! Right on! Stay strong my brothers! You can buy an after-market TPMS system that connects via Bluetooth to your phone. https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOBIKE. But for the rest of what you want you're out of luck. |

I just find it curious that they complain about flats and then won't change over to a tubeless that doesn't get flats. If tubeless don't get flats, why are there inventions to try to stop tubeless from going flat? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/downhi...irst-look.html As well as so many different tubeless repair kits. |

Spouse, friend, Uber, etc. OK, but how do you get them into the tire casing? Mark (maybe not so irony impaired after all) J. |

I had to repair a flat. Have some questions. Is it best to apply patch to a completly flat tube? I found a small copper wire in tire. Is there something to minimize what can puncture tire? Thanks I posted three or four messages yesterday about SMS's ridiculous postings. I got emails saying that my messages weren't posted. I found that interesting since I didn't cuss him out or anything - I only posted youtube proof that even racing teams are changing to tubeless tires. That you can't get a flat on a road tubeless unless you totally destroy the tire which would render a tube tire useless as well. One of those videos even showed that rolling resistance went down with reductions of pressure as the pavement gets progressively bumpier. Oh well, I suppose sms can use his 20 mm tires at 8 bar on his commuter. |
