rockmeupto125 Posted April 13 Posted April 13 You can put a tube in a tubeless tire on a tubeless rim, but it is not optimal. My understanding is that at higher speeds the tire and tube tend to rub against each other and create a leak. In a pinch, certainly. As tight as many of the newer wheels and tires are, I wouldn't look forward to doing it. Chris, if you need wheels, I'm sure I have a set you can send to the plater, or powder coater. Heck, get them C series cerakoted. Quote

ironmike Posted April 14 Posted April 14 A old friend who curates a collector's private museum used tubes whenever necessary rather than alter the integrity of original (OEM) wheels/rims. Some of these bikes were ridden (as can be required in some show venues), but carefully as you might imagine. In this peeling-chrome case, I'd look for and acquire a set of OEM wheels, then take my time experimenting with potential solutions. (That would strongly appeal to my OCD, which I've come to appreciate can, in detail-oriented issues, be deemed a superpower! 😉 ) 1 Quote
