Heavy duty tubes at 15/15 has worked well for me in the Rocky Mountains!
been running the tubliss system for a few years. works flawlessly and its super convenient to be able to just plug the tire.
I have about 6,000 miles of off-road fun, and enduro/hare scramble racing use on my Tubliss front and rear. 2015 KTM 300 w/6500 miles racked up on this system. I had finished a moto on the podium with a flat where the system keeps the tire on the rime plus it adds structural integrity to the sidewall of the tire. I like to run 8 in the front and 4-8 in the rear depending on the level gnar gnar. Beefy sidewall tires with a soft crown is a good matchup with this system. The tubeless system eliminates rotating mass, promotes traction, tires last longer, and changing tires is a snap with 4-irons and a Nomar Spoon Bar. Shazam! Follow the directions with the 20:1 dish soap, its key to having no issues. Add Slime After-after if you wish (w/shrader valve at TDC so soap doesn’t gush). As for maintenance I’ve changed the inner tube core a few times during tire change intervals after 3-4 sets of tires. $10 for replacement core, EZPZ. Also, recently my buddy made it home 17 miles during a New England Turkey with rear tubeless. He made it and the rim was fine. A-Senior OG passing the word...
Thanks for sharing that! Love it when the OGs speak some knowledge! have you written a review on the website for this? You could just copy and past this paragraph. Thanks for watching. Have fun and be safe out there.-Chase
slagletoby what tires do you run in the north east?
My thoughts based on my experience racing, trail ridding and being a shop owner. 1 HD tubes do little for pinch Flatts. They do help a little for punctures. Tube saddles help a little with pinch flats but not enough to get down to the 5 psi range where lots of tires work best. Bibs offer crappy traction and feel but are the way to go for racing at a high level. Tublis is the best option for most riders with the most benefits.
Bro your spitting false information. Get a clue.
@@chadrides914 well inform us than lol
I've run a bridgestone ultra hd tube for decades, never a pinch flat and I run low pressure and just smash rocks at speed all the time.
Great video. I use the Tubeless system and usually down to 8-9 PSI for trail riding. I fully recommend the Tubeless System!
They are a really slick system. We like!
Thanks for all your videos….really helpful!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
cheapest way is to double tube, cut the old tube open and fit the new tube inside the old one.... works great.
I doubt it, that's like saying wearing 2 sets of dishwashing gloves with prevent you from getting injured chopping vegetables, if the knife slips, it will cut you both ways!
@@brunovincent1969 or double wrapping condoms, may as well go in raw
I raced pro national mx back in the 80's and at the rock infested Broome Tioga track , the Dunlop tire rep told me to cut open a tube and use it for an insert just as you described . I still use the method 40yrs later on my DRZ400 . 👌 But .... I do proceed at a much reduced rate these days
Jay Clark also recommended the double tubing - and has an install video for it - and he’s one guy I absolutely trust on matters of tires.

@@Colorado-Tinkering I met Jay at the LA SX when he was a wiseco rep 👍 he's a pretty awesome dude ... I like his vids ✔️
Tubeliss is cool I have three on rear wheels but I still like tubes I patch them it’s quick and easy and you can’t tear off a patch if done right we save tubes then when we have 8 or so on a rainy day me and my son patch em
Thanks the info =D
Think I’m going to go tubliss. Seems like a good system.
Tubliss is a great choice. Solid reviews on this product as well! Thanks
With the Nuetech system, do you run Stans sealant or similar? Similar to mountain bike tubeless set ups.
I’ve been super lucky been riding for over 15 years or more and have only had one flat and didn’t even notice till after the moto. But now I want mental security that I have tires that won’t ever go flat lol someone needs to invent the indestructible Tubeless tire
Two questions
1. what is best for trials bikes?
2. do you ship overseas, and does the 75 dollar deal apply? A very good comparison.
Well l must say l have been running Bridgestone ultra heavy duty tube's for at least 15 year's and have had one puncture (sharp shale and Rock) l ride hard enduro with the odd extreme sections l use to run mx tires at 11 psi and over the years have progressively lowered my pressure's and now run gummy tires (birdgestone 50 E) l now run 3 to 4 psi constantly over a variety of terrain l now have so much traction l have had to change the way l ride ie stop looking at it and just hit it and know you can climb it or get over it ie big wet logs or big wet rocks the ultra tube is not cheap but they give good feedback and last ,easy to fit and patch if needed and if you run gummy tires they are easy enough to change them with your boots and hands this does take practice but is doable if you don't like to or can't fix a flat tire and think moose or tubeless are a magic fix and you won't get a flat or have a problem then you should probably take up another sport
So punctures are unavoidable unless you have foam? It seems like every 2-3 rides I get a flat while out idk if they are pinch flats or if they are punctures but man it’s super annoying and ends up drawing the day way out when trying to do just a few hour ride.. I’m in Haiti so very hot conditions all the time and some street riding between trails often which prob builds up more heat. What do you think my best option is?
I run oem tubes at 7 psi rear
Shinko 525 cheater 19 inch wheel.
10 psi up front shinko mx216 fatty.
We don't have alot if square edge rocks here.
So with my dual sport with i ride off road in the desert and 75 on the highway, what would be the best system? I do as much off road as I do highway
No comparison. Tubliss for longevity and best traction.
Tom Youngbar I've had it for many many many hrs without a problem! Love it!
I use Tubliss with an undersized Mousse insert (110 insert, 120+ tire), great traction, stable sidewall, flat proof, and can still adjust pressure to a degree. I use it with gummy tires that are prone to fail with Tubliss setups. Best of all worlds, and the Mousse will last longer because of no fouling from bead separation and more support.
Hi do they do a 17" in the tubliss gen 2 yet by any chance ?
thanks great videos guys 👍🏼
Unfortunately at this point, the Tubliss Gen 2.0 only comes in an 18",19", and 20".
Thanks for watching!
Ok cool cheers thanks for your reply 🤘
Wich one will work with adventure bikes ??
How about tire liners like the bicycle guys use on their dirt bicycles? The go in between the tube and the tire, resists thorns etc.
B Seidem those dont work at all ha ha
You should do one one grips and best install procedures
Thanks for the suggestion! We do have our Motorcycle & ATV Grip Install Video if that helps: th-cam.com/video/JJAch1ypJPY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching. Glad we were able to help!
what do you think about slime
What would you recommend for a 2020 Africa Twin that's going to be used on and off road? I like the look of the Moose but 13psi is very low - my tyres are supposed to be run around 32psi. What's going to give me decent handling as well as stop me from having punctures on & off road?
Mousses and Tubliss systems aren't designed to handle the heat of high speeds on the road. For an Africa Twin or other big ADV bike that uses a tube type tire, your best bet is to use Heavy Duty tubes and some nice rubber that handles on and off-road equally well. If you find yourself in a tricky off-road situation, you can still air down for more traction, but obviously you'll want to bump the psi back up before running down the highway.
have you guys done of video for the installation of the tubliss system?
just watch the one from tubliss it's sooo easy to install
No we have not. But like "Take A Stan" says.. Nuetech Tubliss has an easy video to watch: th-cam.com/video/qjBhkdPsNIA/w-d-xo.html

What works best on a KLR 650???
We've honestly had really good luck with the bridgestone ultra heavy duty tubes. Check out our product spotlight we released: th-cam.com/video/PbrAm3seCGI/w-d-xo.html
Will a tubeless still seal if you get a dent in your rim?
Yes, tubliss will seal to your tire and not rim
What about lucioli ?
tennis balls = poor man's mousse, also works in conjunction with Tubliss system for both adjustable low pressure setting + 100% run-flat ability
am I the only one that runs my rear tires at 5psi with regular tubes? I have never dented a rim or got a pinch flat with 5psi in the stock tubes
What do I do about punctures? I have a crf230l I use to commute everyday, I also like to take it off-road to the ocean to fish after work. The problem is that here in Hawaii there are keawe trees with thorns down by the ocean. What should I do? I commute about 60 miles a day and I don’t air down to go off-road. Last time I went I had about 30 thorns in both my tires. Only 3 punctured through tho. Should I go tubless with the silicone method?
I suggest turbo-prop helicopter tubes.
Tubliss and in low pressure area run lots Ride-On sealant!!
I have been running Tubliss for a year now the front tire on my KTM took 4 tubes before we got it to not have a pinch flat. I took it to the preferred install facility and they said never come back. The rear tire is a cake walk. Think the big issue is the rim width.
Went through 3 tubes witching 3 days on my 2020 ktm front rim , the place said it wasn’t an issue with the rim, so now I’m running the mousse bibs
What the name i have crf 150 want to convert to tubeless
reminds me of a quip my lawn guy said when i asked why can they make trimmer string last forever...he replied "wheres the money in that?"
Well they used to have steel blades before they invented string for the people that dont wanna sharpen steel discs
I finished 14 miles of a desert race with a flat, still running race speed with tublis
Fulk it ! 😳
So Tubliss acts as a seal on the spokes and basically a full circumference rimlock?
Yes. ...but, they're a little higher maintenance. If you're a lazy mechanic, they may not be cost effective. If you stay on top of them, they can save a lot of money longer term.
Does Tubliss work for street cruiser tires?
Unfortunately, the tubliss system is designed for off-road riding and is not DOT rated. I have heard of people running them on roads for short periods of time but the main benefit of running the tubliss system is being able to run low pressures for more traction off-road so you wouldn't see many benefits on the street.
what about tubeguard?
mi
can I run tubliss with a 14 dr650?
The Nuetech Tubliss System is only available in these sizes through us. 18", 19" and 21". I'm showing that your 14' DR650SE comes with a 17" rear rim. So you would be able to do a front, but not a rear.
Rocky Mountain ATV MC 17" in the future?
@@johnnytest55 Tubliss doesn't plan on it. They aren't DOT rated and they don't want people riding on the street with them for liability reasons.
People who do run them on the street haven't had issues from what I've heard. You can swap the rear for a 18" rim from a DR350 or a new wheel and run it. That's my plan.
Dat watch doe
Are any of these good for dual sports? I want something free way safe
the tube saddle and tubliss would work fine at highway speeds. The mousse does have a speed rating of 80 MPH and 20 MPH and hard surfaces i.e. rocks etc.. so even with one of those you'd be fine.
@@chasetherippa Just remember that the faster you go on a Mousse the more heat it generates. Same as running low pressure at speed on a tube.
I've heard you can't run moose on the road. I run tubliss and really like them!
I don't know if any of it is dot approved. maybe tubliss, but no moose or balls on the road as far I know.
No TUBliss is not DOT approved but I run them on the road, do you worry about those things? Bib's though are different they will break down when they get supper hot. Lube is your friend with Bib's and that is something they didn't tell you, special lube you use to coat the bibs, I heard the process is messy. Also as they break down they shrink, you can take older sets and use them to cut pieces from and stuff in to give you more life.
I've run plenty of road miles without a problem. it shouldn't be any less safe than tubes.
I've heard the Moose overheats when used on tarmac and causes it to break down faster than under normal circumstances.
tubliss not approved either...tubliss is definitely safer to ride on the road at high speeds
Why can’t we all get the same rims like the ones on trial bikes? (Notice: trial not trail)
i have a ktm 1290 super adventure r and keep getting pinch flats
off-road Will the nitromouse work ? or r there other solutions. due to the fact I am
also riding on highway
Neither the Tubliss or Nitro Mousse are recommended for use on the highway or else they would be great options. Do you run heavy duty or ultra heavy duty tubes now?
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Neither they are tubeless. Are you suggesting getting rid of tire pressure monitors and going with tubes? plus is there a better tire out there with heavier duty side walls and would that make a difference ?
@@livelymoto2039 Check out the Mitas E-07+ adventure tires, the Dakar version has very HD sidewalls. Mototrek has a review on E-07+ on a BMW R1200GS.
The airless tubes always fall apart inside of the tires!
Just install the mousse and be done with it. I can't imagine going to any other system since I switched to nitro mousse 2 years ago. And still running the originals. If anything they are softer now and I like them even more. The tire you install really dictates the performance.
Thanks for the feedback! What tires have you had the best luck with?
@@rmatvmc shinko 216MX 90/90 is my go to front and the back changes alot but the Perelli scorpion MX32 work well on the Rocky terrain of Nova Scotia Canada. Husqy Fx350. Lots of uncharted land here.
By softer you mean the traction? Like how are these nitro mousse with traction? Both offroad and on the street...
@@georgeafg9252 not rated for street riding and I wouldn't trust them at highway speeds. Even though I do about 150km/hr regularly on ice with them. And by softer I mean they do soften up a bit more once you have around 5 hours on them. Mostly because they've formed to the wheel.
I have heard that the Nuetech Tubliss Gen2 has a very limited lifespan?! Of course if it had a long lifespan, all of us Dual Sport guys who run in rough areas would be all over this! Can you confirm lifespan issues?
We've talked with Nuetech Tubliss Systems and they said that they've had them on their bikes for 10 years. As long as you stay up on your regular maintenance for example checking your psi they should last as long as you own the bike.
Wow, that is quite stunning! I'd love to test this on my XR675L (modded XR650L) with CRF450 inverted front forks, both front & rear sprung & valved for aggressive riding style. I do wonder why no one else has done a test on this on a Dual Sport ride? Thanks so much for both the review and time taken to check on this!
LookattheBiggerPic Maybe tire size was an issue since they're made in 21,19 &18 inch sizes? Not sure.. but yours should be an 18" rim so you're fine.
+Rocky Mountain ATV MC - Yes 18" and 21" front...
I got 50,000 miles out of my TUBliss on the XR650R, that was for the front, I got a lot more out of the rear, 100K or so on the red liner.
I rode my tubliss with a flat rear tire and the tube wore through the red outer part and was down to the cords. It's destroyed.
expensive puncture....
3mm tubes man ,no flats for 2 years flat out through state forestry ,12psi rear 14psi front ,tubless is for first and second gear single trail and rock hopping
Worn out or cut out bib with tubliss, 6PSI riding of amazing squish!
Why is the simplest foam rubber donut (mousse) the most expensive? This makes no sense...
toadamine because it can be sadly
Capitalism...
Im sure theyre great for pros with unlimited budgets that are looking to gain seconds. Fot the average trail rider, buy a heavy duty tube, put 15psi in it and just like magic, no more pinch flats for $20.
Instill dont get how you get air into the tire chamber with the tublis. Two valve stems, three chambers....
So easy one stem is a rim lock that inflates the tire (14 psi) the other stem is for the inner bladder sealing the bead (100 psi) that’s it
Joe Antolak Thanks Joe. I bought the pair. For some reason I had it in my head there were three air chambers. All makes sense now!
The Eastern front that’s cool man just trying to shed some light for good bike people
I just put slime in mine. Very rarely get flats.
I will just keep using my heavy duty tubs...
Ok not really tubeless if it has a tube
Too funny! But good point!
D606 with 0psi dont even notice lol
Uhhh green slime the tubes and let it rip hell far they make slime for tubes
weight in your tires wont matter would it because its on the ground
it is about your ability to control the bike, more weight on the bike mean more traction, but less ability to lift the bike using weighting and deweighting technique
when your wheels spin, it creates gyroscopic force, more spinning weight the more force, it makes the bike harder to turn
Harder for your bike to accelerate and brake. And I’m pretty sure you can feel the difference when turning the bike.
Indeed it will, it is unsprung weight and that's a problem: www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-is-the-difference-between-sprung-weight-and-unsprung-weight
Heavier tires/wheels mean more UN-sprung weight for the forks and shocks to have to control - this is bad - so handling often gets sluggish.
instaled this tub and you get no tub in you tire 🤪
You might note that most of these options are not DOT legal...
DOT legal .... 😳 .... Who f'n cares ?
literally just revzilla
wtf? never heard of tire balls?
They don't carry them in stock. Plus they are way more expensive than tubliss or a mousse.
Yep, I looked into them, they are crazy priced and I don't see the benefit with them you can still pop a ball or two. I guess the point would be you still have some int here to keep you running. Bib's or TUBliss is the way to go, I run TUBliss and I been very happy.
The only real way to solve the flat tire problem is for manufacturers to use tubeless tires on tubeless wheels, and put Ride-On in them.
Wrong. Try again.
@@chadrides914 It has worked for me for about 20 years. I tried Ride-On when it first came out. I saw them drill holes in tires, and they didn't leak. I have never had a flat with a tubeless tire with Ride-On in it in over 250,000 miles. I was constantly having flats with tube type tires.
@@geraldscott4302 think the answer for no more flats that your looking for is :Bib Mousses with 2 rim locks.
@@chadrides914 I'm talking about street bike tires. A flat on a dirt bike is no big deal if you have a truck or trailer nearby. But a flat on a large heavy street bike with tube type tires requires a tow truck, and they are not cheap. Tubeless tires are a lot less likely to have a flat in the first place, and when they do, 98% of the time they can be fixed beside the road without removing the wheel and tire.
How is that tubeless, there is a tube
Maybe you should play the video over in slow motion
It's called tubliss, not tubeless.
@@bryson_stafford no I spelled it correctly, nice try though
