Tubeless Tyres

[Saracen Kid]

can you put tubes under tubeless tyres as iam able to get a cheap pair of tubeless but dont want to pay 30 odd quid for a convirtion kit !

I dont think it would matter, they will be tight fitting on your rim though.

is that a yes or no?

I dont think it would matter = yeh, blates

I dont think it should be a problem but it might a bit annoying getting the tube in the tyre and on the rim.

slightly off topic, but there's a special kit which converts normal wheels into tubeless ones. The impressive thing about this kit is that they did a demo and had a guy ride over a spike strip and he didn't loose any air. Don't remember where I saw this or what it's called, but it might be worth a search. Quite amazing stuff.

EDIT: Lol, didn't take long to find it, just entered "tubeless" into google:

My mate ran tubeless tyres with tubes and he had no problems so i'd imagine you'll have no problems

Im not 100% sure on all these tubeless tires but what if you fold your tire over on a sidehopp or gap, i know there is a sealant round the rim but won't it ripp it straight off?

never seen someone rip off a tire normally, won't make too much difference anyway.

thats incredible...

would make your wheels a fair bit heavier wouldn't it.

i ride motobike trials and when people get a puncture in the rear (tubeless) many people just stick in a tube instead of the hassle of a tubeless repairs.

so i reckons it will be just the same mate

YES YOU CAN

I run Michelin DH24's. They are tubless tyres.

You can run tubes in them fine, just like normal.

But be carefull when mounting them, its tight and you can pinch your tube.
