Tire testing with Tubliss

No not the rim lock thats 4 spokes away from the bladder valve.

What i meant was the locking rim on the stem of the bladder valve was that tight againg the dust cap like suggested or did you tighten it against the rim?
I will pay attention to the bladder next time i change it.
Perhaps with replacment file a chamfer on the rubber washers sharp edge give it a lesser edge to dig into.

Never put the locking ring tight against the rim. Only turn it down to inflate so I don't push it inwards with the inflating tool.
After that I put it back against the cap.
I'm not blaming the product as I rate it very good. Just try to find out what happened so I can avoid it.
Didn't hit any rocks neither abnormally hard, and even if I did that's placed well inside the rim and protected by the outside tire, the orange liner and the sides of the rim.
Wonder if it's better to take that plastic washer off?
It's a #%&* to ride home as only the rimlock is holding the tire on and since I use this I don't carry a spare tube.

I was just trying to make sure it wasnt that, yeah it bloody would be hard to ride back.
Not sure about removing the washer try contacting tubliss and seeing what they have to say about it.
May be worth carrying a 18" bmx tube for emergency repairs trail side.

Yeah, would be interesting what Tubliss has to say. They're customer service is top notch

Call or email Tubliss and ask for Jeff, he knows about everything there is to know about his product and provides the best customer service of any company I've ever dealt with.

Yeah I did, he offered to give me a call. I'm sure I hear from him soon. Excellent service!

I just ordered 19" Tubliss for the 165 $80 delivered on Amazon

Right finally got round to installing my rear tubliss system firstly cant believe how easy this has made changing tyres.
I used 9 wraps of insulation tape and filed the edge of the rubber donut just incase it helps with the longevity of the bladder.

Did the soapy water method and all slid in nicly.

Now the reason i found it easier than tube is that im short and run lower profile tyres 18/90/110 these are notorious for hard sidewalls and ive only managed 3 clean non puncture installs man that sucks!
So minimal risk of damaging the red liner with spoons everything just went smoothly.
Now to drop the clutch see ya!

Which tire did you end up mounting Juicy?

Just an update on this.
Jeff got in touch with me and despite the fact that I was only looking for an explanation in case I did anything wrong, two replacement tubes arrived at my doorstep pronto.
Awesome service, highly recommended!

Cst surge they are a hard tyre with stiff walls i do a fair bit of commuting so needed to be hard wearing for the road.
Think theyre a branch of maxxiss.
Good cheap tyre with a massive footprint now!


So bikesparky your still non the wiser?

Right long story short ive a leak in my bladder, removed the system inflated bladder and sure enough theres a hiss?!?
Thought i slid it on with soap only used a spoon on the last push over the rim..
So i find the hiss and its right next to the valve stem on the bit that is reinforced just on the edge i know i rounded the rubber washer could i of left something sharp enough to puncher it? Nope nothing there just smooth rubber.

I start sanding it down to do a puncture repair thinking im just a muppet no clue as to how it happend and the top of the innertube has a blister in it and is de lamenated right on the edge no hole straight through.
Looks like i need a new bladder.

Will repair it anyway an see how it holds up.
Am stumped.
Oh and being in the uk not sure who to contact the seller or manufacturer?
P.s. Getting tyre off is harder than usual i think.

whoa! that sucks, hope it's not current QC issues. Mine just arrived, but not installing until I need a new tire. Will have a good look at it though.
I would be calling the seller already

Email Jeff, via their website. If it is a fault he will take the appropriate action, I got mine replaced and the service is better than excellent.
You could have the same issue as what I had on the tube, it might been old stock they sold you or a faulty tube. It happens...
I never had any issues with the rear it was only the front. The system is good and solid but sometimes manufacturing is done on a Monday...
BTW you can't fix these, 100psi is not going to be nice on the sticker, the place that sold you this keeps spares normally.

The only way I could see that part of the inner bladder getting worked is if the pressure was lower than 100 psi when it was ridden. I air mine to 110 psi every ride, like any high pressure tube they will lose 10-15 psi in a couple of days, I'm guessing it bleeds through the rubber same as on a high pressure road bicycle tube.

I didnt even ride with it, took gasgas out on sunday came back saw bubbles thought will check that sn it had lost 45psi.
Have sent emain am awaiting responce.
Qc stamp is 40.
Looking at other parts of the tube its not very well assembled other parts are frilly too.
Expected as much on the repair side of things tbh road racers repair their tubes an run high pressures.
Never had much success that close too the valve tho.
Bit miffed but will watch this space.
Cheers fellas!

P.s. Inflate bladder before install just for peace of mind.

Update, jeff got back to me passed details on th euro dealer sergio and they are going to send a replacment out too me.
Never have i had such prompt polite service.

Now i wait for the postman.

Told ya!

I've recommended and installed over 20 Tubliss set ups and the one or two people that had problems simply didn't follow directions (usually not keeping the inner bladder at 110 psi.). There was one instance on the older Tubliss where the rim tape got baked and turned so hard and sharp that the edge cut the bladder. Jeff at Tubliss sent me the newer tape for every one of the older set ups I had and replaced the cut bladder for free. The older tape has Tubliss inked on it and is not an issue unless you ride at high speed for extended periods of time. The tape failure in my case was a front tire and happened when my son rode a YZ450 14 laps 3rd and 4th gear pinned on a fast flowing mx track, he used an entire tank of fuel in about 25 min. I intend to change the tape on the other older set ups as I see them when I change the tires.

Not saying i didnt do anything wrong but you can see its blistered and no wound marks anywhere on the tube.
Literally only used a spoon on the last push over the rim.
