    Tubeless

    I am looking at getting some tubeless fitting Kits for my post-classic sproked wheels 18-1.85 / 18-2.15. Has anyone had experience with OUTEX brand tubless kits, they are all over Ebay?

    Looks interesting. I assume you've seen this review? https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2023/05/05/outex-tubeless-kit-review-tube-to-tube-free-conversion/#:~:text=Since%20the%20fine%2Dtuning%20of,single%2 0wheel%20kit%20is%20$70.

    The problem I can see is what happens if you have a slow leak and lose pressure to the point where the bead doesn't seal. You would want to carry a small compressor rather than CO2 cartridges.

    Gidday DP. I fitted them to my Yamaha T700 rims. They were easy to install and worked flawlessly for the time I had the T7. Cheers.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    I want to fit them to newly laced Alloy rims. I figure that will be the best time to get a good seal. Hoping I am right about that.

    Progress slowly

    Ok, The OUTEX tubeless kits are on their way, I have started tracking down the Alloy rims I will need. I have sproken to the wheel builder in ChCh and he will make the stainless sprokes for my set of wheels when I get him to build the wheels. So that is taken care of. I am keen to use Ceramic Ball Bearings in the hubs and cush drive but after checking out microbluebearing*, They only do 3 of the 5 ball bears I will need. So I am wondering if it is worth getting the the 3 microbluebearing Ceramic Ball Bearings and using 2 steel ball bearings? or is that a waste of time and money? Also is there another trustworthy maker of Ceramic Ball Bearings I could use to do the job?

    *They are a outfit that Wobbly recommends and he's a man who will not put up with crap quality. He also warned that alot of proported Ceramic Ball Bearings were fake and you had to be careful of which ones you use.
