Ash-Kennard Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Link Will this work for trials? maybe not these tyres, but the concept in general? In my head it seems like the sidewalls will be very thin as they dont have to worry about pinching them, so could be really bouncy. But, the dual pressures could be potentially problematic on super wide trials rims, and rims with holes obviously, getting it sealed correctly. Would it burp air like some tubeless tyres?

isitafox Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sounds to me like the tube is built in so there shouldn't be a problem with air burping out. Potentially I reckon with the right compound you could get a super grippy tyre without ever having to worry about bottoming out or pinching but I don't know what the bounce would be like.

dave33 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I think your going to lose all the rebound or bounce so not ideal for the rear Edited February 8, 2014 by dave33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Will have to run rims without holes cut in so i doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think your going to lose all the rebound or bounce so not ideal for the rear I think grip and stability is more important than bounce though. I've had similar ideas to this before but this is a lightly more advanced version, I'm intrigued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 just a question : Where it would be good? at comps, where you are aiming for the lightest bike, where every gram counts? Everyday trials, where it would be probably much cheaper just to run a normal tube? I can see why they use it for cross, but for trial..I am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I wouldn't say every gram counts on comp bikes. You could have a super light bike but if your tyre doesn't grip when you need it or pinches then you're screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they use it for cross, but for trial..I am not sure Tubeless setups are normally at least as heavy if not heavier than standard tube but they roll far better as they don't bounce of bumps the same. I run tubeless on my mtb and found an impressive difference when I switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
