I think the biggest reason they won't recommend it is because
they don't want the liability of street use. Can't say I blame
them.

Or, will the insurance cover an accident if it's found out you
have tubliss versus what is standard? Even if it's not the tires
fault..?

I very much like the concept of the tubliss system with stiff
tires like a Dunlop 606 or 908. I fear the day I have to change
the tube in a 606 on a cold, wet day - when that tire is frozen
stiff and friggin' fights back......but I want to know what the
risks are before I put my wife on this system and her 690.
Does anyone know why the Tubliss folks don't want people using
their product with wider inner wheel widths? Has to be the
wider flat section the spokes lace into that is causing their
problems.
What do they believe is the danger?? What happens between or in
the wheel-tire-tubliss interface that could be dangerous? I
don't know tires enough to even know what I don't know. Any
tire guru's out here?
I'm sorry to ask this same question in several different posts
in this thread - but while it seems to work for some guys with
moderate miles under their belt - why are these guys at Tubliss
turning down cash and not selling the system to us with their
blessing? There has got to be something that scares them from a
liability standpoint.

I thought it was time to hear the story straight from the horses
mouth, so I sent a message to Tubliss.
I suggested they post a response here, but also offered to post
it for them.
I'll keep you guys up to date.

What happens when used on the road? What fails in the system?

Just speculation, but there may be a DOT certification which has
to be done to certify the system for public highway use.

So what happens if you do get a flat with this system?
Does the small 100 psi inner tube hold the tire bead solidly on
the rim all by itself? Or, does a guy have to worry about
getting the bead re-seated with high pressure air like you do on
a tubeless car tire - I've never had a tubliss or tubeless bike
tire that I worked on so I just don't understand how it works.
I've plugged a tubeless car tire, but always had high pressure
air to reseat the bead. Is it just a matter of plugging a hole
if needed and pumping her back up to a low pressure level and
go?

The inner, hi-pressure tube acts like a 360* rim lock, in
addition to the rim lock of the system, holding the tire bead to
the rim. Hi-pressure air to seat the bead may not be necessary
as long as the inner, hi-pressure tube is inflated first. The
hi-pressure tube should prevent the bead from coming unseated
when running really low tire pressures.
Plugging a hole in the tire still mounted on the rim is the
pretty much the same as plugging a hole in a car tire still
mounted on the rim. The only difference is when you insert the
plug into the tire, you should insert it at angle to avoid
puncturing the inner tube. As long as the hi-pressure tube is
still inflated, the bead should stay seated.
