    Just had them installed today, you can pretty much ignore any of those links talking about the early generation 1 Tubliss, the system has had some major improvements since then.

    Well - mine came with the bike KTM 200xcw which i use off road only. I haven't taken the tire off, but I assume it is the Gen 1 Tubliss system. I have to fill it with air fairly often (once every 2 weeks or so). One nice thing was that the front tire did get a puncture and it was plugged like a car tire and has been good since. I bought a spare tire just in case, but haven't needed it just yet.

    Ha he is also lucky he knows the good bastard Paul from Motomox (I might be a little bias in that statement ) that helped him fit them carefully , nothing like having chinese takeaways, watching a DVD then fitting two TuBliss set ups

    He is all set for Dalethorpe and we expect big things now (no pressure Carl)

    Well done you good bastard you Paul. Now there will be no stories of either of you falling off, just to prove to all the "naysayers" how good "Tu-Bliss" really is. Good stuff !! Have fun

    Ah yes I do have a few excuses left in my pockets as to why I keep falling off though, its the bike, its the tyres, I am tied, I am old, someone cut me off, its was the tree roots, it was the slippery rocks and so on, I think I that should do it

    We had a decent snow fall last night, so I was out & about in it today......8"-10" of snow & rather steep logging tracks. When I'd lose traction I just slowed down a bit & kept on going.....& going.
    Was heaps of fun.Click image for larger version.

    Nice try Paul. But with the amazing levels of traction you have, the bike just won't let you fall. Looking forward to the ride report and photos. Nice one

    Good luck on that one Pete, I'm told at this stage they only come in 18" 19" and 21" apparently coming soon 17" which will fit the XT
