I run Tubliss on my CRF300L Rally and ride it daily with Tusk D Sports. Absolutely love it on and Offroad. Its already saved me a few times with flats and allowed me to get home. Also loving it on hard enduro trails. Have about 5,000 miles on the setup. 10/10 recommend.
I just did my first two installs. I did dril the rim as suggested in the instructions (4 spokes apart). A couple of things I might suggest: When adding the Tubliss to the rim, pinch the tube so it stays in center at the last few spoons. I did that the first time but forgot on the 2nd tire and it was much more effort to get it on the rim. Also, I used 3 bead buddies (spaced apart by about 3-4 spokes) and that made the tire install so much easier. Good video. My son has used them for a year or more and is quite happy. NOTE: if you have leakage at the low pressure side you can also use a tire sealant (e.g. slime or something else) and that seems to help it maintain the low PSI for longer. Good luck ya'll.
I was just doing a tire swap on a bike I just bought with this conversion. I would recommend doing a good cleaning and a re-tape if the tape condition is looking questionable. You are not supposed to stretch this rim tape when applying, which I think was done when the previous owner installed the kit. New tape is under 10 bucks. If you are new to this, having a new bladder is also a good idea. they are about 12 bucks. Take your time and clean everything this really well. The cleaning will help insure a good seal.
Bibs for the win. Was a tubliss adapter early. Like in maybe 09 or 10. I ended up making the switch to bibs. They are OK, but got tired of fiddling with them all the time and high pressure leaking out every week. Ended up damaging the inner liner on one and puncturing the inner tube. tossed it and gave away the front one.
I use both UHD tubes on one wheel set and Tubliss on the other. Once you run them in hard terrain it's a game changer. I'm 10psi front/8psi rear with no fear of pinch flats.
Fun real world kind of video. The great TuBliss debate is whether or not to run sealant like Stan's or Slime. I like to spray the Hell out of the high pressure bladder and red jacket with Armor All as well as the tire bead which makes it all slicker than snot and all easy to work with during install. I don't bother with sealant if it doesn't leak, which is generally the case. In my experience sealant, while sometimes useful for sealing the TuBliss and bead area, generally doesn't actually seal tread punctures, but it can help to make locating them easier! Finally broke down and got a Rabaconda. It really isn't necessary but so nice for doing this, especially street tires. The Rabiconda curved tire levers are the freakin' bomb. Tusk offers less expensive knock offs that are likely just as good. There is a new stand out there called Neutron Speed Pro that looks even better than the Rabiconda for less money. I like that stand's Delrin sliders, simple knobs for the wheel size adjustment, and it has a nice steel spindle. Time to step it up Bro! Even for an off road only bike, I like to balance the wheels as once ya go over 40 or so the rim lock will cause the wheel to start hopping. Brass spoke weights work great for this, generally 6 ounces of weight across from the rim lock does the trick. Harbor Freight has an inexpensive static balancer that has worked great for me. It is covered with moto stickers, which improves it's accuracy 😆
How exciting by having your girl doint a job that we usullay do, i wish i could have the same luck, lol, big fan of tubliss by the way, i recommend 100%. GREETING FROM ECUADOR
I still prefer Lucioli. I was on an expedition for 3 days in terrain with sharp rocks using my Lucioli at 0 psi. I thought I had managed to destroy my tube. But to my surprise the Lucioli inner tube was intact. I changed the tire for a new one and continue using the same tube. ps: my Lucioli is already 3 years old and still looks like brand new... no one inner tube lasts that long.
I’ve tried tubliss and mousses and prefer mousses you can still puncture the tubliss with the the tyre leavers fitting the tyre then it’s game over had a few mates do that if you nick a mouse with a tyre leaver it doesn’t matter and if you fit a dummy valve you can lube the mouse with a syringe easily so no big deal I’ve known people have mouses a very long time if you lube them enough tubliss has a shelf life they won’t last forever
Damn extremely interesting let me know what you think about the dsport tires and very curious what you think about the tubeless after some dual sporting
I have given this a like because it is well video'd but I can't get my head around this - why, at 11:44, are you lubing the UPPER edge of the tyre? The surface that needs lubing is the UNDERSIDE edge of the tyre, surely? You are trying to slide the tyre over the rim yet the tyre is dry underneath with maximum resistance/friction to wanting to move. I've looked carefully at what happens subsequent to 11:44 as you are levering the bead over and the lubed surface does nothing apart from make it easier to remove the tyre iron after each bite. Is that the point of lubing then?
Yeah I just like everything to be slippery and don’t want my levers gripping to the tire, you are right though it isn’t necessary just do it out of habit.
Don't really care for the tubliss system myself, the low pressure is excellent for traction but puncture flats are not uncommon at all although they are usually easy to fix with just regular automotive tire plugs but the reality is dirtbike tires are engineered to be used with a tube or a Bib insert, try and use newer model tires that have stiffer sidewalls, for your particular application they should work great.
I've had terrible experience with the mousse. Tried ordering from multiple vendors and emailed the company directly. Never got the correct size mousse. I'm going back to tubliss.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing. How's your thoughts on it. Do you like it ? I ride in wet slippery winter could help me. Cute girl 😍 lol thanks
NO WAY i could get a Pirelli Rally race rear to open wide enough even wedged open for days and 2 people with a sun warmed tyre. Just too stiff. A Dunlop 606 though was easy. Any tricks for stiff tyres?
Wouldn't the tubliss make more sense on the Xtrainer? These CRF's are just kinda dork around bikes, not hard enduro machines where tubliss really makes a difference. Or is it just for showing the installation process? We run tubliss and extremely low psi with the Kenda Knarly, very good traction. 0-4psi
TuBliss is not officially DOT approved, but lots of folks (including me) run it on their 690s. It takes 6 ounces to balance for the rim lock, I use brass spoke weights and a Harbor Freight static balance stand, works great!
@@AdventureDaily wow thank you Crf250f nice bike, just like my 77 xr75 but bigger. I still have it too, bullet proof never had to do any repairs, not even adjust the valves
Whilst these sound like a great idea I cannot see the cost v's the benefit. I ran Barum HD tubes for many years and have had few punctures in 30 years. ran as low at 10 - 12 PSI in all sorts of hard rocky and muddy terrain on my XR600. At AUD$25.00 a tube v's close to AUD$200.00 for the Tubliss system I reckon I can change a tube each new tire and be well in front. Also a tubeliss system still runs air so really is it better? But that is My Opinion.
That’s just it 10-12 PSI is not even close to low enough for most people these days. I like to stay around 5 for the gnarly stuff, all depends on how you plan to ride but I agree I’ve had good luck with HD tubes but I always had to be conservative with my pressure. Air isn’t the problem it’s the fact you can run 0 psi without ripping your valve stem or pinching a tube.
@@AdventureDaily I didn't see the need to run as low as 5 PSI as I never had traction issues and ran rim saver Yokahama super diggers. Also never bent a rim in 30 years either. But that was just me and with the grunt of the XR she had rim locks on the rear as standard back in 89. Mind you I never ran in Snow as where I live and went riding - never saw snow but lots of mud and lots of red and yellow Clay soils, rocks and sandy loam soil. heaps of trees and Kangaroos and wallabies to keep you on your toes.
It was a no from us.. Low pressure leaks off after a day or so. Sealant would have helped with that though, if you don't mind constantly checking pressure I guess.
@@AdventureDailyhad my rear tubliss on for a few months now. And zero issues. I even know the dealer didn’t use enough rim tape or soapy water. I got 10 rides out of it before adding some slime and still going strong.
I just did a 606 rear off a KTM 500 EXC. Stiff but doable. Hardest part was getting the wheel in the tire. I did not have the plate they give you help this. Lots of spoons and four hands did the job. To mount tire - Lots of bead grease (I used Rabaconda grease ) and small bites! i used the bead breaker on my Rabaconda street tire changer to hold the bead near the center and on top of the red thing while spooning the other side on. The Rabaconda tire iron works very well - strong with perfect spoons. I never used the Duckhead for this job.
@Louisiana_gov Wow! I'm currently on my fourth peddle with Mrs Donna Patricia also. She's the best! the expertise of a crypto proficient who work in a registered crypto platform is what you need for making profits.
As a kid i remember constantly patching my intertube's in my bike (BMX). We didn't have money for tubes so i always ran tubes with 3+ patches on them. Lex could practice on a 10 speed tire and rim...the Technique is exactly the same. Best to practice on used shitty tires before attempting a new one.

Been running this on my Crf300L rally. Works pretty well, running 7.5PSI on a Dsport on the rear for sand.
Heck watch the tubless conversation from asia. All they use is 1-innertube Laying over the rim and the excess cut off! Supper effective & CHEAP
You will like em , don't be afraid to run super low psi like 3 or 4 for your light weight. Ive been running them for over 15 years.

Can't wait to see it all done and a side by side of both bikes completely done
Tubliss is the lightest. I have had good results. My shirt arrived today, looks great, thanks.
Thanks for the video, I was about to drill a hole in a new wheel for nothing. Thanks again
... Watched the whole video.
Always willing to learn.
Thank you,

I suggest more armor-all and the valves stems be only four spokes apart.

I have bad luck with the tubiss set up and went to the nitro mousse. I have had no issues at all. It’s a better set up.
I literally brought my 250f home from the dealer and immediately swapped to a tubliss with an IRC M5B Evo 120/80-18 tire with plenty of room

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! 😎

Nice job I think I will try one or two I guess.
Go for it!
Ha! about to attempt a tubliss install- again.. any other pointers ? Like it, besides having to check pressure every few days?
I just did my 2end one last night. It’s not too bad.
Milwaukee blade. Quality tools.
Hey Great video. Where can i buy more rim tape and inner tubes to refresh my 3 year old tubliss systems on my two dirtbikes ??
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC has them! Using this link helps support the channel! bit.ly/RMADVDAILY
I would have watched a longer mod video I prefer them longer😢 but hey it’s your channel, I can’t wait for more
Thumbs up for the Kyle XY reference
I want to use it . I do have a lot of highway to do and I would like to know how it performs at speeds. I will definetly follow up to find out.
Tubliss is an excellent "inflation" system however Mouse bib's for the win.
Curious after awhile how you like the tubliss vs the lucioli?
😂😂 “To the burn pit it goes”

Will add at some point just haven’t researched what is best.
I have KTM 890 adventure R if it works with DOT tires why can't it be used for highway speeds? Is it a balance issue or centrifugal force issue?
Would there be any issue with running them on the road at speeds like 60-70mph
TuBliss is not officially DOT approved, but lots of folks (including me) run it on their 690s. It takes 6 ounces to balance for the rim lock, I use brass spoke weights and a Harbor Freight static balance stand, works great!
After a year, are you still running this setup?
Super.
What PSI does everybody run?
I'll probably run 5 with the new setup!
20 because I go from street to dirt all day.
Are those stock rims? What’s the tires spec’s? I’m looking to get a wider rear tire on my crf250f
Yes they are and in this video we mounted a 130/90-18.

Tubliss is better than Bids due to being able to adjust PSI. Nothing like dropping to 0-3 PSI in mud.
OH
Stopping performance😂
You will be extremely disappointed in the tusk dsport tires.. especially the front
Why so? Traction, wear???
