my first rodeo with tubed tires, have some questions.
  • @SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE Whoever invents pavement-friendly mousses will be a zillionaire for sure.

    But for what it’s worth I did use UHD tubes on a 1400 mile Baja ride earlier this year from the US to La Paz (~80% off-road through the cholla and cactus 🌵) and didn’t have any tire issues whatsoever. And I was riding a fully-loaded Giant Loop Coyote (~40 lbs) on a CRF450X, hitting some crazy trails, including some of the Baja 1000 course. UHDs did much better than I thought they would.

  • @SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE @innermachine Great advice about swapping in HDs!

    I would say though, that having used the Tubliss system for a while, they def have a… …colorful reliability history. Some had no problems, but people like me had the inner high-pressure system totally rupture. Mine happened while the bike was at rest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    I’m a big fan of their Nitromousses for off-road though, nice to just not worry about flats at all, and not have to carry the tools either.
