Tire testing with Tubliss

Wow i wonder why jeff has never mentioned this, only soapy water, chic on video never mentioned slime either. Weird

Thanks for the tip Timmy!
I do have some negative experiences with this stuff before when it first came out ages ago. it used to leave a big gluey mess at tyre changes that no amount of detergent or chemical would remove.
I guess they might have updated the formula a few times since then.
How does it wash off when you need to swap the tyre? Does it stick to the tubeliss on the inside too?

I have never had sealing experiences that alot speak of hear on forum. Lots of soapy water and follow instructions, watch chic with sleeved tats on nuetec sight and works perfect. If it doesnt seal on low side just crack seal and add more soapy and try again.

Oh, yes, makes sense. Ive heard this before now i recall, no cactus here

I can run 10psi on my at81 with tube no problem but tubliss is a great bead locker. I run 7psi with tubliss, anything less feels terrible. I just run rear, front is tube. Switching to perelli mt16 soon

I use quadboss atv sealant instead of slime. It flows better and seals bigger holes but really either should be fine. No soapy water for me either.

I switched to Tubliss to save weight and increase traction. Plenty of thorns here, but none big enough to pop a tire. Worst is slate embedded is ruts and trails. I usually carry big, steel reinforced cable ties to tie the tire to the rim if necessary. Still running a tube up front. Haven't had a flat in a long, (knock on wood) long time. Will go Tubliss on the front of the 300 soon, I think.
I like some original Armor All, spray the Tubliss with it and tire and rim for mounting. Made a mess with Slime once and avoided it since then. sounds like the way to go though.

If you guys decide to use slime brand sealant, make sure to use the tubeless type. They have a couple different kinds out there.

Pretty good price on QuadBoss: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4502/i/quadboss-tire-sealant
On that page it recommends 4-8 oz for dirt bike tires. Sounds much better than 32 oz, that must weigh at least 2 lb, probably more.

I use 6 oz of tire sealant. I used to use Berryman but it got hard to find so I switched to Slime, I dont think slime is as good but it is easy to find a puncture because of it's bright green color.. the Berryman was white.

I had the Tubliss set up in 3 bikes, front and back and have installed many more in friends bikes. I did have one recent failure due to the rim tape getting cooked and the edge actually got hard enough to cut the high pressure tube. Tubliss has changed to a different tape so I thought I should warn anyone with an older set up to go with the newer tape. The old tape has Tubliss inked on it with white ink on black shiny tape. My set up was 4 years old, had gone through several tires and if I would have changed to the upgraded tape it would still be perfect.. Just a heads up.

Slime recomends 237ml or 8oz per dirt bike tyre...

9 wraps electrical

Sure looks identical to a perrelli mt16

I like that part too, but I'm wanting to trim some fat from the 300 and the cheaper tires are consistently heavier. I'm looking for a compromise. For example, Kenda Parker 120 weighs over 14 lbs, IRC VE33 5.10 weighs @ 12, so 12 lbs is my target for now. I didn't weight the Shinko 520, but I'd guess 14-15 lbs.

Im wrong, not identical, but close.
Yes tubliss is amazing, i run 7psi, no less.

Yeah, common tread pattern, but that has some variations. I like all the angled knobs and center treads.
Of the tires I've got or am considering only the Sedona is substantially cheaper. I'm looking forward to running the 880 soon.
I'm down to 6psi with the Shinko and no issues

Anyone knows what could cause a failure like this? Been using it for a few months now and never had any problems.
Swapped tires 3 times but always lubed and installed following the instructions.
This is the front, always inflate the inner tube to 100psi before riding out of the door and the tire itself was at 10psi.
it seems the plastic "protection" washer has cut through the inner tube.

Looks like the tube being inflated has cut that out, you didnt tighten the lock ring against the rim did you?

Yes torque beyond 9lb

Maybe.
