Had a flat tyre yesterday and i am running tube tyres.

Now i am led to believe that with the fat daddy 50 spoke wheels i have i can run tubeless as the rims are sealed.So what are better,tube or tubeless ?

With the tubeless at least if you have a flat tyre you can fix it on the side of the road but with tube tyres you pretty much need to get the bike towed,which is not much good when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Any advise or suggestions would be great.

 

I have had both and I think the tubeless are a better option. You can keep a plug kit in your tool kit
and no worries.

 

I think you answered your own question.
TUBELESS for me, no question.

 

I am due for new tyres real soon so i think the tubeless are the way to go.Heard good reports about the Metzeler 880 wide whitewalls.

What do you normally have in the plug/puncture kit.Mushroom plugs are good supposedly.

 

As soon as I get back my wheels from the chrome shop, I will be tubeless again. The only way to fly

 

where where you riding to get the flat. I just recently joined harley assist .. hoping ( probably unrealistic ) that I will never need. Grzly

 

On my way to Port Macquarie.Got the flat as i just hit the F3 at Hornsby.Stuffed the whole weekend as i was meeting mates there but they were very nice to give me updates from the pub last night.

Tell me more about this Harley assist thing.......whats it cover,cost etc.Luckily my new rims will take tubeless and i need some soon so i am going tubeless and carry a puncture kit.

 

Picked the wrong weekend for it but I suppose it could have been worse if you got it on the F3....
