Based on your recommendation I replaced the tubes with the tubeless system last summer, It has clearly been one of the best things I have done, my bike is much better than I am but if I can make the bike safer to ride and more comfortable so I can stay on the bike longer, that is a win-win. thanks for your help.
I’ve been running Nutech tubliss for 8 years. Luckily I’ve only had three major incidents with tire punctures or out right 2 to 3 inch gash set in by rocks. First time didn’t even notice until I was halfway back to the truck, the next two times I picked up on it a little earlier because I recognize the feeling of a soft tire but still had no issues getting back to the vehicle safely, under control and with confidence. It’s a great product.
Running tubliss on my WR250R and last weekend in the snow 0PSI was amazing, its also nice to be able to airdown on the trails then airup on the road, keeps your tires lasting longer.
Great videos. I would like to again request a nuetech nitro mousse video comparing that to the tubeless. Most riders in my area ride and race mousse, eliminating the chance of a flat and puncture repair. This allows them to race a ride lighter by not having to pack pump or flat repair kits and tools for their tire change if they don’t have tubeless. Thanks keep the great videos coming.
I've been running tubliss for a year now in my rear tire. I still use tubes in my front simply because I have yet to buy one for it and UHD tubes aren't too bad. I do want to make the switch eventually. I can honestly say that the hookup in the rear is ridiculous and for a 450 is very welcomed. Being able to plant power to the ground makes for great riding.
I have to say it's nice to see someone struggle a bit with a tire, all other videos are either by people that do it for a living or done with super soft MX tires. Thumbs up.
I race Moto and recently set up one of my wheels with Tubliss, as of right now I don't think I will ever have a bike without it. The benefits are many, traction, acceleration, cornering, braking, Moto concrete starts off-camber sections there's just not a downside to the Tubliss system. And also now I'm thinking about trying other cheaper tires because with as much traction you get it you may not need to run the more expensive tires.
I've run tubliss in my rear wheel for two or three years (Sedona mx907 flat) and I just fitted my new TE 300 with TuBliss up front too. I actually just re-mounted the factory front tire, despite the warnings to only use fresh tires, it has worked just fine - but I only had a few hours on the bike when I did it.
I only have two rides on my tubliss but the piece of mind to ride balls out over rocks is nice. I weighed the UHD tubes and my tubliss and I saved over 4 pounds. Good product.
Hey I know it’s been a while since you made this video but do you still run these in your bikes? If so any issues with them and do you still recommend them?
I have TUbliss in both my Trail 18" and MX 19" rear wheels, in my trail bike, I love it! It's the best thing since sliced bread lol, in the MX bike, not so much, it was good over winter, but it's summer here in New Zealand, and the tracks I use the most have alot of high speed small jumps, and the wheels get a hard time, the inner 110psi will get pinch flats around the deflector triangle rubber block(the thing the tube goes around) I will put it back on my MX bike next winter, but for summer, I'm back to tubes, as changing the inner tube is a day ender.
damn I'm glad you did an update on that. I've been wanting to go tubliss on my 350sxf for a wile but I felt it was still too new of a product an really sounded to good to be true. plus the price kept me from it. but hell if you 4 flats it pays for it self. so I just needed more info on long term an you hooked it up. thanks kyle.
Corey Calhoun we use the UA-cam app on the Roku, when my mobile you can cast to TV. Use phone to search and roku controller to click around. I'm android but I would bet Apple TV works same if your in the orchard.
Quick tip for those punctures try to run something like orange sealant. It sticks to the inside of your tire so when a rock does puncture your sidewall or tread it will fill that puncture and seal it. I have gotten a nail stuck in my tire and it sealed around the nail and i finished the stage.
I've been running trials tires with low air pressure for years, it felt like you put a few more teeth on the back sprocket when I put it on. Only disadvantage is if a trials tire gets a flat, they have no side wall like a dirt tire that has a stiff side wall, so you do ride directly on the rim.
thanks for all your vids, truly enjoy watching all your content. curious to know how you liked the the new tire compared to the maxxis as all I have been using is the desert IT the last 3 seasons. thanks
The only thing I think that can compete with the Tubliss system is the Michelin Bib Mousse. One thing I would be concerned about with the Tubliss is puncture flats, while using a bib, you wouldn't have that, but the Tubliss also allows for much more adjustable feel. I don't know I use Bibs and I love them, but that system looks really good too.
+Dirt Bike Channel I usually get about one season on a set (front and rear) with 16 races at 2 hours each plus riding for about an hour every week. I would say about 50 hours if you set them up correctly. they cost about $145 each though.
Hey, Kyle...put a bunch of sand bags on the legs of your tire stand, or bolt it down!! You shouldn't have to fight the stand. I change tires on a barrel with the lid cut off, with rubber tubing on the upper lip, and full of rocks to hold it down.
I have been running these for over a year on my ex300 and would never go back to normal tubes! Was riding in some super slippery clay in the rain last weekend and just dropped rear tyre down to 3psi
Nice vid as usual. It seemed that the tread pattern on tire was going backwards, is that just the design or did you intentionally/unintentionally put it on backwards?
I find it mad funny how it doesn’t show him struggling his ass off to get the tire on mounted he goes from sticking spoons in it to having it inside the tire. Lol.
+Derrick V Probably won't do one. I don't have a ton of great things to say about that. I don't want to run them through the mud. Sam has the same bike as me with stock suspension. 4 riders agreed on the last ride we did that the stock setup was better for the whoops. Mine might have an edge in the woods.... don't really know yet.
Thanks for the response...I had my 4cs fork on my 2015 350xc-f done by Kreft and it is an amazing improvement over stock. Was curious about the Stillwell, as a comparison. Interesting to hear you guys prefer the stock 4cs, as it has been a fork that many have not enjoyed. Following your site has made me crave a 2 stroke! Keep up the good work.
I have a Husky 701 and need to ride around 2 hours to get to dirt. I don't think I will deflate the tires two much, more interested in not needing to carry tubes. do you ride on the highway on a regular basis? This is my regular riding bike so I am likely 70-30 highway-dirt.
+1 on the tubeless system. I use it and love the traction. I once had a flat because the knob separated from the base. Couldn't plug it but was able to ride flat for several miles with no issue. Curious what pressures you're running on yours?
great video, I am curious to know what was that frame that you used while replacing the rear rubber? Can you explain how it assists with tire changing? Again thank you for providing the quality videos
+David Lockhart Commence A/B test in 3... 2.... 1.... go: Mousse bib = heavy. TUbliss = light. Mousse bib = no tire pressure adjustment. TUbliss = can vary tire pressure. Result of A/B test = TUbliss is the winner. Done :) How was that? Maybe a more serious test in the future, but for now, I'm in love with TUbliss and don't have any good reasons to move over to Mousse.
is it sketchy repairing the tire. what I mean is..do you need to uber careful not to puncture the Tubliss when installing the plug..or is it pretty straight forward and not much worry having the tubliss right under where the remer is punching threw?
What did your tire @3:24 to help slip the rim into the tire? I recently started changing my own tires and this step is the hardest part for me. That piece you use looks like it would be extremely helpful!
I am just getting into dirt bikes and looking to buy my first one, I watched your whole series on 2vs4 stroke. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information, and I was wondering your opinion on the bike a choose I'm a really big guy 6'4 290lbs would a 300cc 2 stroke pull my big ass around well or would I be better suited on a bigger bike like a 450-500
+Justin Anderlik I prefer the 300 over the 450 in nearly every instance (and I own both). Having said that, the 450 does make a little more power overall and that would be helpful if you weigh almost 300 lbs. I'd look to see if you can ride both first before buying it. That would help make your decision.
hey kyle, you may have covered it in another video but what psi do you personally run? and if you're 100psi did get flat would you be able to visually see it or do you normally just check it with a Guage before every ride?? Cheers
I ran tubliss on my DRZ and while it worked great, eventually the rear tubliss wouldn't hold air anymore. i attribute this to the fact that the wheels had about 7k miles on them before i tried the tubliss and the seal just wasn't very good due to the rubber residue on the wheel. I also dualsported them at highway speeds which i'm sure didn't help. That being said i was out on the trails when it wouldn't hold air anymore and after riding it with the outer chamber completely flat(inner tube at 110psi) the read sheath became extremely worn against the tire after riding around 30 miles or so of it flat. The outer sheath was totally annihilated and unusable. That being said my rim was not bent at all(on a 320lb bike) even while doing log hop and hitting rocks. Probably going to give tubliss another shot on my Beta as it's a much lighter bike compared to the DRZ.
+Dirt Bike Channel that wasn't all on one tire, I probably was on my 3rd tire at 7k miles and put the tubliss on with a new tire. On the contrary my buddy has tubliss on his 250l that had much less mileage and they have been holding up well even with road use. They simply need to be pumped up to ~15 psi for the roads. And they also need a balance.
Looks like changing a tire is a real pain in the ass with the Tubeless though? Takes me about 6 minutes to change a regular tire with the Baja No-Pinch tool and haven't really had any flats either racing (zero while racing) enduro or recreational riding ( 2 I can remember) in 30 years. Also it seems difficult to get the tire to sit inside the rim for install ? Y/N? Not that i'm against the system I just have trouble seeing the benefits. If I was riding in an area where cactus was I problem I would likely run mousse
+Dirt Bike Channel. Have you run on mousse at any point and if so, what is your opinion between mousse and TUbliss? Usually I run 4mm Michelin tube and I actually never pinched one in my 5y of driving but then again I always take them apart from time to time and lubricate them with tire-paste. And then when I do these amateur races, I always use mousse -Just do not want to end the race to to a flat tire. Never used TUbliss -not so common here but I think I might make that investment even if they do cost about 90$ over here they seem to have a longer lifespan then mousse which has the same price tag.
Seriously, I'm riding on a super tight budget and have to ride on my tires till they are nearly unusable. If you wanted to ship one of those up to Ogden maybe once a year I'd pay the shipping and another $10 or $15.
+EreksonJ We all make sacrifices and priorities - even Kyle. Make your own sacrifice if you want to acquire these tubes and don't beg for someone else to fill your need. It makes you look less-than-desirable to ride with.
osimnod Hey buddy, you don't even know me. You don't know my financial situation or what kind of situation I'm in. You don't know what I sacrifice to go riding. A typical tire place CHARGES $15 to dispose of a tire. What's wrong with asking to PAY for something that would otherwise be thrown away? Please leave your judgmental attitude to yourself.
+EreksonJ You're right, I don't know you or your financial situation. We all make sacrifices to ride - cost of fuel, gear, maintenance, place to ride, spare parts and ... tires. Do you know for a fact that Kyle was just going to throw that tire away in the condition it's in or was he just demonstrating his preference of TUbliss? And where was I judgmental?
It seems like you view me as some kind of freeloader. You tell me to "make my own sacrifice" as if I don't make sacrifices to go riding. I was simply offering to buy this used tire for $15. I know he was done with it because he frequently talks about running a fresh tire in his videos. I don't view this as being a bother or "begging" at all. All he has to do is say "no" or just ignore my comment if he doesn't want to deal with me. No bad feelings, no awkwardness. Now if I had asked for something for free, that would be a different story...
+osimnod After reading my original post, I see now that I never made it clear that I was looking to purchase his used tire, or even a tire at that. If that was your original source of confusion, I can see why you made your initial comment... Asking to pay $15 for anything else in the video would be quite rude...
I'm going to be installing the Tubliss system in my bike soon but I have almost new tires on my bike already. I've "heard" that you can't install a tubliss with a tire that has been used with rim locks and tubes. Is this true and have you installed a tubliss using a use tire?
I have done it before, but I do suggest that the tire is fairly new with a very good bead. If you can't take your tire off without tearing the bead, don't re-use it.
the plug you use in the case of getting a hole. Are they the car tire type plugs? or are they designed for the purpose of offroad? I`m looking at running tubliss as i just went through 2 extra heavy duty front tubes in two weekends, maybe 4 hours total on the 2. very rocky trail and now that i am getting faster on it seems that`s whats causing my flats. I`ve adjusted front suspension but don`t think that would be the cause.
Agreed Tubliss are amazing - Tyre changing is much easier - But you need some new DECENT Tyre levers / spoons buddy - with those little things you're making it hard work ! get 3 or 4 decent long spoons and you'll do it in a minute flat ! Well done on the Vids :-)
I have the tubeless system. But my tire got a hole in it. So the tubeless compartment won't hold air. Is there any way to fix this without buying a new tire.
Hey...Ive just ordered a combo from SlavensRacing both front and rear - would you please share some kind advice? 1] When installing, did you use ArmorAll, or any tyre dressing will do? And what about the silicone oil instead? 2] Do you recommend soapy water when installing? Or is tyre sealant better. And how do you use a tyre sealant when installing it? Many thanks in advance...
+Brian Patterson I do, but this is all dependent on your riding style. The XCW is amazing for certain places and riders. The XC is just a better fit for me right now.
+Lucas Badia you can put a wider tire on a 19" rim. Like a 120 or 110. Really what matters is the compound of the tire. Some companies will make a mud/sand tire
+Dirtbike Channel Sam oh ok cuz i still have the stock tire and i thought it looked thinner then the tires in this video so i assumed their was a wider tire. what kind of ridding is this tire used for ? hahaha sorry for all the questions, and thanks for the help! +Dirt Bike Channel
+Benjamin Long I think you should be able to get 5-10 sets of tires out of them. I've gone thru more than 3 but less than 6 and I'm still good on mine.
Good video again! I remember that ive asked you what was your best mod recently. I feel like i have inspired you haha. AnywaysTubliss will probably be my next mod .. For you i think the best mod you could do is to buy a yz250x ;) Having a blue bike will allow you to reach more people (blue fans , ill be your number one) and get more views. Plus the yz250x is way better... :p so you kill two birds one stone. peace
Based on your recommendation I replaced the tubes with the tubeless system last summer, It has clearly been one of the best things I have done, my bike is much better than I am but if I can make the bike safer to ride and more comfortable so I can stay on the bike longer, that is a win-win. thanks for your help.

Good point on less deflection. I realised that today. I’ll do Tubliss on every dirt bike I can now.
Running tubliss on my WR250R and last weekend in the snow 0PSI was amazing, its also nice to be able to airdown on the trails then airup on the road, keeps your tires lasting longer.

+Gnarlington TUbliss is hard to beat for traction.
Dirt Bike Channel Beats a UHD rear tire by miles, too. Saves a good 4-5lbs as well.
I have to say it's nice to see someone struggle a bit with a tire, all other videos are either by people that do it for a living or done with super soft MX tires. Thumbs up.
+J Sem Try doing a youtube video while you break a tire down too :) The sidewalls on these MOFOs are killers.
They mount a 19 on an 18
I race Moto and recently set up one of my wheels with Tubliss, as of right now I don't think I will ever have a bike without it. The benefits are many, traction, acceleration, cornering, braking, Moto concrete starts off-camber sections there's just not a downside to the Tubliss system. And also now I'm thinking about trying other cheaper tires because with as much traction you get it you may not need to run the more expensive tires.
Like the in depth analysis on the tubliss.
I've run tubliss in my rear wheel for two or three years (Sedona mx907 flat) and I just fitted my new TE 300 with TuBliss up front too. I actually just re-mounted the factory front tire, despite the warnings to only use fresh tires, it has worked just fine - but I only had a few hours on the bike when I did it.
+Brandon Allen Pretty cool stuff!
I only have two rides on my tubliss but the piece of mind to ride balls out over rocks is nice. I weighed the UHD tubes and my tubliss and I saved over 4 pounds. Good product.
Agreed
The weight is also closer to the centerline which means it has much less leverage.
Awesome vids man
Hey I know it’s been a while since you made this video but do you still run these in your bikes? If so any issues with them and do you still recommend them?
They’re awesome
I have TUbliss in both my Trail 18" and MX 19" rear wheels, in my trail bike, I love it! It's the best thing since sliced bread lol, in the MX bike, not so much, it was good over winter, but it's summer here in New Zealand, and the tracks I use the most have alot of high speed small jumps, and the wheels get a hard time, the inner 110psi will get pinch flats around the deflector triangle rubber block(the thing the tube goes around) I will put it back on my MX bike next winter, but for summer, I'm back to tubes, as changing the inner tube is a day ender.
+Dean Smith Interesting experience. They market it for MX too. One of my riding buddies seems to like it when he's on the MX tracks...
Love the videos, what tire pressure do you run with the tubless? Im thinking of doing it
damn I'm glad you did an update on that. I've been wanting to go tubliss on my 350sxf for a wile but I felt it was still too new of a product an really sounded to good to be true. plus the price kept me from it. but hell if you 4 flats it pays for it self. so I just needed more info on long term an you hooked it up. thanks kyle.
+Beau Vandyke It's a fantastic mod! My favorite mod for sure.
Love the channel. You don't find channels this informative without the BS anymore on UA-cam.
I had no idea tubeless even existed for dirtbikes. I'm so buying some!
I wish you were on Netflix
That made me laugh!

thanks
love the videos, keep up the good work. any tire recomendations on tires for the tubliss on sharp rock and hard pack. thanks for the info.
try out the Baja no pinch tire tool. You'll love it. Will save you time and rim scratches!
Will have to look into that
Just curious what PSI you run in your tubliss setup? I know that is a huge rider preference, weight issue etc. Just curious what you run.
How often do you have to adjust the pressure? Inside and outside air chambers.
The only thing I think that can compete with the Tubliss system is the Michelin Bib Mousse. One thing I would be concerned about with the Tubliss is puncture flats, while using a bib, you wouldn't have that, but the Tubliss also allows for much more adjustable feel.

+NEW ZEALAND TRAILRIDING I feel the same way.
Nice vid as usual. It seemed that the tread pattern on tire was going backwards, is that just the design or did you intentionally/unintentionally put it on backwards?
+Jamie Hill Nope, that is the way this tire is supposed to go.
Cool vid. Definitely considering this. When you use a plug to fix a puncture is that a permanent fix? Have you ever had a plug come out?
+Rob Duncan The plugs have lasted as long as the tires do. I haven't had troubles with plugs coming out.
I find it mad funny how it doesn’t show him struggling his ass off to get the tire on mounted he goes from sticking spoons in it to having it inside the tire. Lol.
Another great video with real-world info. When can we expect a review on the Stillwell suspension?
+Derrick V Probably won't do one. I don't have a ton of great things to say about that. I don't want to run them through the mud. Sam has the same bike as me with stock suspension. 4 riders agreed on the last ride we did that the stock setup was better for the whoops.

Charles Penner - I believe he is asking about the little blue bead tool (Motion Pro Bead Buddy?) you were using
+Brandon Allen yes, it's a Bead Buddy.
I might run tubless but I will NEVER EVER run through life boobless that's why I ride a 2 stroke.
I have a Husky 701 and need to ride around 2 hours to get to dirt. I don't think I will deflate the tires two much, more interested in not needing to carry tubes. do you ride on the highway on a regular basis? This is my regular riding bike so I am likely 70-30 highway-dirt.

It depends on the day. And the front and the rear I run different pressures
+Dirt Bike Channel can you give us a starting point so maybe we know where to begin ? 10 psi ? 15 psi ?
great video, I am curious to know what was that frame that you used while replacing the rear rubber? Can you explain how it assists with tire changing? Again thank you for providing the quality videos
+Charles Penner It's a Tusk tire changing stand from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. Just makes it a bit easier since you can stand up instead of bending over.
Thank you for the reply, what I was curious about was the device placed in the tire at 3:24 in the video off the tire changing stand.
+Charles Penner It's a tool they give you when buy the TUbliss to help get the rim into the tire.
Very well done vids. Have you done a A/B comparison with Bib Mousse V TUbliss ?
+David Lockhart Commence A/B test in 3... 2.... 1.... go: Mousse bib = heavy. TUbliss = light. Mousse bib = no tire pressure adjustment. TUbliss = can vary tire pressure. Result of A/B test = TUbliss is the winner. Done :)
How was that? Maybe a more serious test in the future, but for now, I'm in love with TUbliss and don't have any good reasons to move over to Mousse.
where do i get that little insert because i dont have one and it’s making the tire change process a big pain in the ass
is it sketchy repairing the tire. what I mean is..do you need to uber careful not to puncture the Tubliss when installing the plug..or is it pretty straight forward and not much worry having the tubliss right under where the remer is punching threw?
What did your tire @3:24 to help slip the rim into the tire? I recently started changing my own tires and this step is the hardest part for me. That piece you use looks like it would be extremely helpful!
+EreksonJ I use Armor All. The little tool in the video comes with your TuBliss, or it should anyway. All of the ones I've purchased has had it.
I am just getting into dirt bikes and looking to buy my first one, I watched your whole series on 2vs4 stroke. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information, and I was wondering your opinion on the bike a choose I'm a really big guy 6'4 290lbs would a 300cc 2 stroke pull my big ass around well or would I be better suited on a bigger bike like a 450-500

I'm jealous, you made that tire change look too easy. I need to revamp my tire changing game haha! Nice video.
+Pixel Junkie The magic of editing video :)
Traction on TUbliss is awesome! Especially on FIM Enduro Tyres (140 wide)
+KristofSX yeah, its great.
That is a really wide tyre
+Husqvarna enduro wide tyre = more traction = better absorbs roots and rocks, I'm using MItas EF07 MidSoft or Metzeler 6Days Extreme ,
hey kyle, you may have covered it in another video but what psi do you personally run? and if you're 100psi did get flat would you be able to visually see it or do you normally just check it with a Guage before every ride?? Cheers
100 psi tube**
Do you recommend running slime in a tubliss system?
Hey Kyle, all my bikes are plated. What are your thoughts on balancing this setup, vs a traditional rim lock?
the side knobs on that shinko all ripped after the 2nd ride when I had it. maybe you'll have better luck.
+Kevin Deutman I have ridden that tire for about 5 hours now. No problems.
I put gen 2 on my bike and dint know what to expect first time out to day and all I can say is its shit hot can't believe how much grip you get
It's my favorite mod.
Do a review on the Baja no pinch tool.
Been using Tubliss for 2 years, awesome kit 8psi fromt and 4psi rear, i run slime in the tyres. Don't see why anyone would ever run anything else.
I agree with you
MrSpike2450 does the slime make a big difference? How much slime did you put per tire?
Should you be using rim lock with tubliss ??
A rim lock is part of the Tubliss system, so yes.
Error! I've been using the Sedona 887 the last few years (with zero psi). The 907 will probably be my next rear tire.
I ran tubliss on my DRZ and while it worked great, eventually the rear tubliss wouldn't hold air anymore. i attribute this to the fact that the wheels had about 7k miles on them before i tried the tubliss and the seal just wasn't very good due to the rubber residue on the wheel. I also dualsported them at highway speeds which i'm sure didn't help. That being said i was out on the trails when it wouldn't hold air anymore and after riding it with the outer chamber completely flat(inner tube at 110psi) the read sheath became extremely worn against the tire after riding around 30 miles or so of it flat. The outer sheath was totally annihilated and unusable. That being said my rim was not bent at all(on a 320lb bike) even while doing log hop and hitting rocks. Probably going to give tubliss another shot on my Beta as it's a much lighter bike compared to the DRZ.
+LIvlogs 7000 miles on a dirt bike tire isn't really normal. These are for off road use.
+Dirt Bike Channel that wasn't all on one tire, I probably was on my 3rd tire at 7k miles and put the tubliss on with a new tire. On the contrary my buddy has tubliss on his 250l that had much less mileage and they have been holding up well even with road use. They simply need to be pumped up to ~15 psi for the roads. And they also need a balance.
Looks like changing a tire is a real pain in the ass with the Tubeless though? Takes me about 6 minutes to change a regular tire with the Baja No-Pinch tool and haven't really had any flats either racing (zero while racing) enduro or recreational riding ( 2 I can remember) in 30 years. Also it seems difficult to get the tire to sit inside the rim for install ? Y/N? Not that i'm against the system I just have trouble seeing the benefits. If I was riding in an area where cactus was I problem I would likely run mousse
It's actually easier to change than with tubes imp.
I rode my tubliss with a flat rear tire and the tube wore through the red outer part and was down to the cords. It's destroyed.
+Dirt Bike Channel. Have you run on mousse at any point and if so, what is your opinion between mousse and TUbliss?
Usually I run 4mm Michelin tube and I actually never pinched one in my 5y of driving but then again I always take them apart from time to time and lubricate them with tire-paste. And then when I do these amateur races, I always use mousse -Just do not want to end the race to to a flat tire.
Never used TUbliss -not so common here but I think I might make that investment even if they do cost about 90$ over here they seem to have a longer lifespan then mousse which has the same price tag.
+Enduro gubbarna I don't have any experience with Mousse.
specs on that air compressor? can it fill up the inner bladder?
+Kevin Deutman Yes, it can fill up the bladder.
Seriously, I'm riding on a super tight budget and have to ride on my tires till they are nearly unusable. If you wanted to ship one of those up to Ogden maybe once a year I'd pay the shipping and another $10 or $15.
+EreksonJ We all make sacrifices and priorities - even Kyle. Make your own sacrifice if you want to acquire these tubes and don't beg for someone else to fill your need. It makes you look less-than-desirable to ride with.
osimnod Hey buddy, you don't even know me. You don't know my financial situation or what kind of situation I'm in. You don't know what I sacrifice to go riding. A typical tire place CHARGES $15 to dispose of a tire. What's wrong with asking to PAY for something that would otherwise be thrown away? Please leave your judgmental attitude to yourself.
+EreksonJ You're right, I don't know you or your financial situation. We all make sacrifices to ride - cost of fuel, gear, maintenance, place to ride, spare parts and ... tires. Do you know for a fact that Kyle was just going to throw that tire away in the condition it's in or was he just demonstrating his preference of TUbliss? And where was I judgmental?
It seems like you view me as some kind of freeloader. You tell me to "make my own sacrifice" as if I don't make sacrifices to go riding. I was simply offering to buy this used tire for $15. I know he was done with it because he frequently talks about running a fresh tire in his videos. I don't view this as being a bother or "begging" at all. All he has to do is say "no" or just ignore my comment if he doesn't want to deal with me. No bad feelings, no awkwardness. Now if I had asked for something for free, that would be a different story...
+osimnod After reading my original post, I see now that I never made it clear that I was looking to purchase his used tire, or even a tire at that. If that was your original source of confusion, I can see why you made your initial comment... Asking to pay $15 for anything else in the video would be quite rude...
it is funny you cut out the hardest part good job
did you end up liking the Shinko 520? I have the 540. It grips well but wears fast in gravel. No chunking though.
+Robert Daniel I've only used it on one ride so far. It's winter here so....
Ya I'm in Washington state. I'm ready for spring man. Keep us posted.
7 Mousse disliked this video. I rode 2 days on a mousse system.....that was all i needed to know, not for me lol.
Max Muller I’m not sure I understand... you rode a mousse system so you know you wouldn’t like tubliss?
I'm going to be installing the Tubliss system in my bike soon but I have almost new tires on my bike already. I've "heard" that you can't install a tubliss with a tire that has been used with rim locks and tubes. Is this true and have you installed a tubliss using a use tire?
I have done it before, but I do suggest that the tire is fairly new with a very good bead. If you can't take your tire off without tearing the bead, don't re-use it.
Less deflection on front tire hitting rocks? I'm sold
+Albert Tran You will like it.
Are you using Armor All for lube!?! hahaha I love it
Yes, it is a great lubricant
I like the part that you edited out the hardest part of the tire install haha.
Didn't know you still had the YZ. Wouldn't mind seeing some riding videos of that in the future :)
p.s. Nice lighting haha
Yes I need to get around to putting out some videos about that bike
the plug you use in the case of getting a hole. Are they the car tire type plugs? or are they designed for the purpose of offroad? I`m looking at running tubliss as i just went through 2 extra heavy duty front tubes in two weekends, maybe 4 hours total on the 2. very rocky trail and now that i am getting faster on it seems that`s whats causing my flats. I`ve adjusted front suspension but don`t think that would be the cause.
Just buy some ATV plugs after installing Tubliss. Get a little rubber cement to put on them to help them seal and you'll be good to go.
perfect! i was just watching another video of what you bring on your rides. awesome thank you! keep up the great content!
Agreed Tubliss are amazing - Tyre changing is much easier - But you need some new DECENT Tyre levers / spoons buddy - with those little things you're making it hard work ! get 3 or 4 decent long spoons and you'll do it in a minute flat !
Well done on the Vids :-)
+Simon Konetsky I don't need more leverage. Too much leverage can be a bad thing when doing this IMO.
No long blades in the sticks
what tubeless system do you run or recommend?
What's the average cost to switch over to tubeless!?
mean that if i use this TuBliss on my front and rear theres no need to put on tubed?
+Ask Rule yes, ditch the tubes.
I have the tubeless system. But my tire got a hole in it. So the tubeless compartment won't hold air. Is there any way to fix this without buying a new tire.
There are plug kits to repair tubeless holes in tubeless setups look them up.
Hey...Ive just ordered a combo from SlavensRacing both front and rear - would you please share some kind advice?
1] When installing, did you use ArmorAll, or any tyre dressing will do? And what about the silicone oil instead?
2] Do you recommend soapy water when installing? Or is tyre sealant better. And how do you use a tyre sealant when installing it?
Many thanks in advance...
+michail1963 1... Armor All.. 2. Use slime tire sealant. I have a video on this that you can reference.
You still happy with TUbliss?
Can Tubliss handle highway touring ?
can you show us all your tire tools you make it look so easy.
Thanks
I have that video coming out soon
you need to try the Baja no pinch tool.
+John Botello Going to look into it.
Good stuff. We all ride Colorado and have Tubliss. We go through a good amount of tires within out group and the No pinch tool is amazing.
So with tubliss you still use the mechanical beadlock ?
The TuBilss has its own bead lock
not related to tubeliss, but do you use oring chain or non oring?
+cadwarrior Anybody who isn't sponsored would be better off with o/x-ring
you still liking the xc over xcw I'm in market for a 300
+Brian Patterson I do, but this is all dependent on your riding style. The XCW is amazing for certain places and riders. The XC is just a better fit for me right now.
So the tire is trash if you gash it?
What tire pressure you can drive now.?
+lecram006 2-15 depending on what I want to do.
trail / enduro? in the woods
How do you feel about the ktm 250exc as i am looking to upgrade? im 6 foot and 95kg
+Ant W I think it's a great bike. I've spent a fair amount of time on a 250 XC-W and it's the same thing as the 250 EXC.
+Dirt Bike Channel Wow thanks for a quick reply btw I love the channel so keep up the good work :)
i have an sxf 250 could i put a wider rear tire? if so, do you suggest i do that? i do alot more trail ridding then at the track.
+Lucas Badia I haven only used 120 wide tires. Not sure you really need anything wider than that.
+Lucas Badia you can put a wider tire on a 19" rim. Like a 120 or 110. Really what matters is the compound of the tire. Some companies will make a mud/sand tire
+Dirtbike Channel Sam oh ok cuz i still have the stock tire and i thought it looked thinner then the tires in this video so i assumed their was a wider tire. what kind of ridding is this tire used for ? hahaha sorry for all the questions, and thanks for the help! +Dirt Bike Channel
Yeah it is also because the 250SXF has a 19" rim instead of a 19" rim. So really the rim size is what matters. 110-100-19
@EreksonJ typing on my phone... **what did YOU PUT IN your tire @3:24
+EreksonJ "Guide Plate" comes with the TUbliss pack...
Good video
where did u get the ktm sign on your wall there?
+enduro rider Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.
Video content good. Not sure about Kyle's energy at the end there. Maybe he is tired from tire install. I'm still a fan of DB channel though.
+Raul Ortega This comment made me laugh. I'll try to be hyper and the end of videos to keep you interested :) (not really)
I just put tubliss front and back!!! How many tires have you gone thru before you need to get a new tubliss system?? (Just from normal wear and tare)
+Benjamin Long I think you should be able to get 5-10 sets of tires out of them. I've gone thru more than 3 but less than 6 and I'm still good on mine.
Hi, can I install a tubliss in the new 2019 KTM tire?
you sir have a lot to learn.... yes
when are you going to make more videos
+Iain Heidler I try to average 1 per week.
How do TuBliss work on MX applications?
+Hal Simpson Great from what I understand. I'm not a MX rider though.
JEAH!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
If I had tubliss and wanted to ride mx could I just pump up the tire to like 15 psi or whatever and go fine?
Yes.
+Dirt Bike Channel sweet. And you earned some more respect responding that quickly on a 5-6 month video
Good video again! I remember that ive asked you what was your best mod recently. I feel like i have inspired you haha. AnywaysTubliss will probably be my next mod .. For you i think the best mod you could do is to buy a yz250x ;) Having a blue bike will allow you to reach more people (blue fans , ill be your number one) and get more views. Plus the yz250x is way better... :p so you kill two birds one stone. peace
+Frederic Jordan I own a blue bike. There is a YZ450F sitting in the shop right now. I do plan on getting a YX250X this year if things go well.
Oh yeah that is right! I forgot, well the 250x would be a great project bike! Wish things will be good for ya
Cost?
basically the best thing ever? why am i still not using them
+Kappa Braap I don't know :)
Without interrest you don't explain how you remove your tyre...
