Hey guys,

I'm running an 18x8.5 60 spoke on the back of my rocker. The wheel was supposed to be tubeless but when I got the tyre put on it leaked like a sieve.
I'm running a tube as a short term fix but does anyone have any recommendations for sealing it up to run tubeless?

Thanks,

MAtt. 

I do believe, and I have been wrong before,

Spoked rims have a rubber rust band and a tube.
Same reason pushbikes have tubes.........can get a seal with spokes.

 

 

The trouble is that people are telling me that
You can't get tubes for 240/250 tyre.
I'm running a tube for a 200 in there ATM.
Makes the profile of the tyre a bit taller than meant to be also.
I've seen a few eBay sealing kits but none for wide tyre.

the fat spoke wheels are meant to be tubless the one i puyt on the front of my twinkie had this black tacky shit on the inside to seal it

google search it

Also I didn't go with the Fat spoke mammoth thing I just got a regular laced wheel.

Well the simplest answer seems to be the best...

drag specialties make a tube for a 250 tyre part number #ds181234

Now I just gotta find one in oz or pay 35$ to ship a tube from the US!
