TU bliss tyre system

[puddytat]

Anyone here using it?

The reviews seem pretty damn good on the newer generation incarnation.
I like the idea of no pinch flats on rocky terrain (rocky 'round here) & being able to run such low PSI.
Just oohing & aaahing over the price.
Or do real men use tubes?

I've got one on my Beta RR300 on the rear tyre and currently running 3.5 psi, the traction is amazing. You will need a compressor that can do 110 psi though. I have a small portable one from supercheap goes to 150psi that i have in the car on trail rides also a digital tyre gauge for the low reading. I have found that you need to check high pressure side and maybe top up before a ride as they can lose a bit of pressure. If you get a puncture you can repair with that waxy rope stuff. You can ride home quietly on a flat and the tyre stays on the rim perfectly. Hope this helps

NordieBro uses them on his RM125 for enduros etc.
Loves them.

Do you use one on your front tyre ? I tend to run higher pressure in front but that's to stop pinch flats.
Also i wonder what they would be like on my Wr450 which can do some road, adventure, etc. My concern is finding a compressor at fuel stations able to pump high pressure side if needed

Done gone placed my order for a rear y'all...
Aint going to git nuthin cheaper in the U.S so I done the motomox thing.
Cheers for the feedback fellas.

Just a note. On the instructions it tells you to fit with a new tyre, my tyre was half worn but i refitted it anyway and had no problems

I was just doing a bit of reading about em last week and a few advrider dudes have been running them on the road without any trouble.

That's excellent, I'll give it a go. Cheers Tazz

No problemo. Have a quick nose yourself as the need to balance is mentioned, but it is most likely from people with road biased tahs.

If I wasn't in a bit of a financial pinch they'd be on the way for the next tyre replacement

Sweet WR is balanced from dusty butt, although i just bought a balancer off tardme $88 will do all the bikes

This will do very nicely indeed

Hi Guys

I run the TuBliss front and rear, they are brilliant, easy to fit and work very well, Watch the video and you will see how easy they are to fit and peel off, no smoke and mirrors, just good technique.

My Beta 498 is road registered for ADV riding so running up to 100kph no worries, I know these are used in the Dakar and they are running very high speeds no worries.
Balancing them is same as balancing a tyre with rim locks, this is what I used, very easy to set up and near perfect balance, only takes a few minutes.

I tend to run lower pressures on my Beta 498, 8-10 psi front and 6- 8 PSI rear, the big benefit of having the TuBliss bead lock it locks to the tyre and rim right around, on a ride a few weeks ago up the Clyde river with all my gear on board my tyre pressure was 6psi in the front and rear, the tyre moulded around the rocks giving plenty of traction without the risk of rim damage.

The beauty with the TuBliss is it takes up around 30% of the tyre cavity so you can change tyre pressure quickly even with a hand pump because you are only pumping up roughly 70% of the normal air capacity.
I have a good quality mountain bike pump for pumping up the tyre and the TuBliss if needed.

I am running the tractionator tyres both ends, I use the S/T which is the soft compound, they are a strong tyre, are wearing well and plenty of grip, I say this because the Beta 498 is not the most tyre friendly bike to ride and the tractionator is taking the punishment.
