Tubless or Tubes
Hey on a 08 EGC with the HD smooth laces wheels do they have tubes in them. They have a metal valve stem so you can't tell by looking at that. I assume they have tubes in them but maybe I am wrong.

RE: Tubless or Tubes
Thanks guys for the response's, my brother has tubes, I on the other hand have tubeless and no spokes (mag Wheels). Will see how much more his cost when he changes tires and has to but tubes and rim liners.

RE: Tubless or Tubes
tell him its not that bad. ive been runnin spokes for mucho years and never had any of the problems ive heard. i think there awsome looking. A tire store employeetold me one time that it was terrable to have tubes on a bike cause they would overheat and blow-up......wonder if he ever worked at a dealer?
As far as the price goeshad tires swoped/balanced/new tubes was 35$ apiece and forget ifthey just reused the rim cover?

RE: Tubless or Tubes
I have the older style spoked wheels not the smooth newer style. I definatly have a tube. I was told by the dealer that the new laced wheels have no tube. Again take it for whats its worth. Since it was a counter person in parts. Not the brighest bulb in the bunch

RE: Tubless or Tubes
I picked up a set of 80 Spoke Tubless wheels last winter for $535.00 shipped to my house. I had a flat with the old laced wheels with tubes 500 miles from home. 5Hrs and $200.00 later I was back on the road. I will never ride with tubes again.
