       Tubliss system

       Tubliss tire system.
       This is 1 of the best mods I've made. It's reliable ( I have
       given the bike shit over some shocking terrain) for over a year.
       I've had zero problems. The bike handles IMHO, noticeably
       better. Corners, trax, etc.
       For an explanation of why, see here.

       I've been considering this set up, but Tubliss says "for offroad
       use only".  Have you used yours on road?  At speed?
       Thanks!

       Yes I have, about as fast as the bike will go, but I don't use
       it for long slab rides. I only use the bike as a big enduro
       machine - 95%dirt - not dressed up for adv riding as many ppl
       do. I only ever run full knobbies on it not dual sport rubber.
       To date I've gone thru a few rear tires since I started using
       the tubliss...no flats, problems at all. I'd swear I can notice
       the weight difference in the way the bike handles. As far as I
       know, none of the alternatives to tubes are for road use? Could
       be wrong so let me know if I am!

       I was told by a KTM dealer that the Tubliss might not work with
       the stock rear wheel because of its width.  Tubeless list their
       18" unit for rims which are 1.85" ~ 2.15".  21" unit is for rims
       1.65".  KTM shows stock rims to be 18" x2.50" and 21" x 1.85".
       Are you running stock rims?  I'm looking to try these with
       Heidenau K60 Scout 50/50 tires or Mitas MT 07 Dakar 50/50 tires.
       If you can beat them up off roading and on the street, they
       should hold up for a long adv ride or commuting on the street.
       Also what tire pressure are you running when on the street?
       Thanks

       I got a reply from Tubliss yesterday.  They said their current
       offerings won't work for the stock wheels on the 690 enduro.
       But they are working on systems for the bigger/wider rims.  They
       expect to have them available sometime next year.

       I got a flat last year when I aired down for a trail ride &
       spun the stem off after getting stuck in the mud. So thats what
       has me looking into a bead lock. I've been looking at Motion Pro
       lit Loc's or the Tubliss system.

       As hard as a tire change is stock with trail side tools I'd be
       inclined to go tubliss.  I put a rim lock on my KLR.  It made
       tire changes more difficult but doable.
       In my opinion the 690 would be no fun in the wild with a rim
       lock.  I suppose if you were just pulling a tube patch and
       replace you might be ok.
       Just a thought.

       Front has been in for over a year and still going strong.

       The Motion Pro Lit locks are too narrow for our fatty rims!  :-(
       I ended up with their regular rimlocks and about 14lbs of
       wheels weights :-)    ok, maybe not that much, but seemed close!
       And for those wheel weights, I cannot praise these enough

       Pricey, but worth it.  Reusable!

       Check out No-Mar for your wheel weights. much cheaper for the
       same thing. I've used them for quit awhile now and love them.
