Right done the search and I am sure it has been asked before, but will a Tubeless tyre fit on a Tube type rim (Bultaco). I will be using a tube and the security bolt?

Long time since I had a bike with tubes in the rear (SSDT boys have got it so easy now), I am collecting a Bultaco for one of my friends and tasked to help him. As I have some half decent tyres in the garage where i have nipped the side wall I was wondering if they would do the trick?

As this Bultaco has been in a garage for over 20 years without turning a wheel, I wonder what rubber it will have on?? I am guessing a Pirrelli, we will see?

no problem.i run second hand tyres tube and tubeless on my honda,not bought new tyre for 20 years.

not bought new tyre for 20 years.

Thanks

Some tubeless will say in place, others wont - in my experience.

We tried this on a mates Beta Techno without a security clamp and it slipped around within 50yds tearing out the valve.

yep, no problem, been using my take-offs on my vintage bikes for years with no problem, from an engineering stand point there are some issues but just use a good quality tube and a rimlock

Thanks for the replies will dig an old tyre out for my mate and throw it on..................that''ll bring back some memories.
