I forgot to say that they also recommend using Slime in them
too.

I totally support your actions on going with the Tubliss. I
mean, if its trouble free and it allows you to do a tire
repair/plug as opposed to the removal/replacement of the tube,
why the hell not!? I think the difference between those two
scenarios when managing a flat is night and day. I have not yet
gone for it but I am certainly interested in doing the system.
Please voice the good and bad from going Tubliss. Ride On!

Have any of you guys with the Tubliss conversion done any long
freeway miles with them?

Funny you should ask. I just did 325 miles Sunday with no
issues. I will have another ride this weekend that will finish
off this tire. I am planning on cutting a hole in the tire so I
can see how the beed lock works on our wider tires. I've been
afraid to go less than 18psi.

I did a ride on the July 4th weekend from SoCal to Moab, UT on
the tubliss system. No problems. I did air down for the off
road sections. Because of the weight of my luggage I didn't go
below 20psi on the front and 25psi on the rear. I think I
should have stayed at about 22psi on the front because of the
extra weight. I could feel the tire bottoming out on large
rocks and bumps under braking.
I found an old thread, on Advrider, talking about guys doing a
lot of long highway miles with no problems, so I just did it.
Make sure you balance your tire if you are going to do a lot of
street riding. Also I tried the "Ride-on" tire sealer/balancer
product. I don't recommend it with the Tubliss if you do a lot
of street riding. I had to use a lot more of the stuff than
Ride-on's chart recommendation and more than their "extreme"
recommendation. The tires never really balanced out and when I
slowed to a stop on the street, I could occasionally feel the
tires go out of balance and it took several miles of riding
before the tires sort of balanced out again.

So has anyone had problems with front and rear tubliss using
stock 690 enduro rims? Anyone heard of issues?
This just sounds like a logical system versus tubes,
specifically on a tire like the Dunlop 606 or 908RR with super
stiff sidewalls - I don't want to Replace and Repair those
buggers ever again.
I called Tubliss and they really recommended not using their
system on our bikes. Very nice people - the kind of folks you
want to give your business.

It works just fine. I used a grease for installing the moose
inserts on the both parts of the tubliss to seat and seal it
instead of the soapy water technique they show in their videos.
I did this because I balance my wheels for street use. If there
is too much liquid sloshing around in your tire, you won't be
able to balance it. If you are running off road you can add
tire slime or ride-on sealer to create a run-flat tire. Also,
adding the ride-on or slime to the high pressure inner tube can
slow down its pressure loss that occurs over time.
All in all, the system works on the 690 rims.

I haven't been riding much since April when I put this in. I
finally wore the tire out. I am a curious kind a fella so I
decider to cut a hole in the tire to see how well the system
works on the wider 690 tires. I have to say it works just like
advertised for the smaller dirt bike tires. I took a pic but
can't get it to post on my phone. I'll get it posted up
tomorrow.

You should send the picture to the folks at Tubliss to show them
they can add another bike to the list. Thanks for taking the
time to do this.
