nafan Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I was wondering whether I would be able to use one of these with a tube.... Need a new rear tyre and I just got my new pitbull with lovely green stickers, so it'll match (Y) B) Cheers lads, Nathan B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nafan Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ok cheers mate, perhaps could have gone in the 'doesn't deserve its own thread' part of the forum... :P Wasn't me ;) It is the 2.1 green one and it says UST tubeless compatible, can that one be used with a tube? Please help lol ;) :P Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 All tyres can be used with tubes, a few can be used without also. I'm pretty sure I have the same tyre you're talking about, so yes it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Cool thanks mate, don't know whether to get one now though 'cos its quite thin....... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 so, what makes a tyre usable without tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Any tyre without holes in can be used without tubes if you use fatmikes no tubes thingy ma bob. Otherwise, i think only tubeless tyres (the ones that say so in the description) have a tight enough fit to be used with some tubeless method, which seems to be an industry standard method.
