with a tubed tire and all. especially with sharp metal objects. a friend of mine had to be towed to ted's for a patch. cost $60!!! but when another friend plugged a tubeless it's like $10.
The reason it was more cause the tire had to be removed from the wheel for the patch and new tube. You plug a tubeless from the outside so no need to remove the wheel...making it much cheaper. If your real good you can carry a tube with you and do it on the road if needed.

wow that's nutz. i just commute i dont think i want to carry all the extra tools. plus, what am i going to lift the bike with? LOLOriginally Posted by DRZSMDUDE
i googled and some people are using sealant so they can use tubeless tires. how reliable is this method...?
i run tubeless with no sealer.... but i guess thats the beauty of running mag wheels
Does anyone else dislike people talking in 3rd party ?
Yetti has used it once or twice..
but when people use it all the time, it's just annoying.
there are a few certain few, who use it wayyyyyy too much.
make your spoke wheel tubeless,
its a pretty simple process.
I did it on my racebikes about 3 years ago and haven't had an issue since.
yeah? first of all what sealant did you use? something from canadiantire? thnx
don't need to lift it...its a dirtbike...lay it on it's side....lol & turn the gas off firstYour kinda beat either way, tubeless or tubed if it goes flat you need a repair job. Doubt anyone really carries a tire plug with them unless road tripping it or something. What bike are you looking to get?

plastics are cheap, and if your riding it off road as well they are bound to get marked up

you can lay that bike down without touching any plastics it's all peg and bar. And have you ridden a 250x?...gutless machine. I rode one and it felt like a big plastic toy. Do you have the fz6 now? There is a guy in the US making turbos kits for the wr, couple youtube vids out there of him ripping it down the street, now that would be a fun bike

What did you use to do this? I remember reading about some guys doing this before but I forget how they did it. I think I might try it the next tire change.
Thanks
I sealed each spoke hole with silicone, let it dry, then moved the spoke adjuster.
then used this process.

the silicone was to allow for spoke adjustment without breaking the inner seal.
my buddy with his kx lost his front in St. Williams he rode it up on the back tire all the way to the truck, works good.
wow! mad skills lol
