July 19, 200917 yr My friend accidentally got for me Michelin rear tube-type tire instead of tubeless. Can i use it without tube or it will pass air? If so, will i feel much difference from tubeless while riding trials? Only one thing i know for sure - it will leak so fast when got puncture...
July 19, 200917 yr Author Im just first time hear about tube-type rear Michelin tire, so im asking because of this. Im not joking)
July 19, 200917 yr In my experience a tube type tyre wont stay on the rim as well as a tubeless one without drilling and fitting a tyre clamp. It will hold pressure when its one the wheel but it wont stay on very long. Take or send it back and get a tubeless one.
July 27, 200917 yr I've been through this personally. Apparently the bead shape is different between tubeless and tubetype tire. A tubetype tire will NOT stay on a recent model rim, regardless of a tube in it or not. Do not run it, nothing but headaches.
