ARE TUBELESS TIRES THE FUTURE OF BMX? 

Mtb stuff :)

Sean Mcpike valve

Presta / shrader are valves....

I’m definitely down to.🤙🏽

Only comment I'll ever leave is; glad to see you giving one hundred-Fede percent! LOL I dare u to copy me

Thanks for the support guys!!❤️🙏🏾

😂🤣 I hope to be still doing tricks when I’m 40+ ,LOL I got a lot of time before that so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.🤷🏿‍♂️😂

Ohhhh, let me know how you like them. I was looking into some.

@@MikeFede I live in the Phoenix area, everything here is sharp rocks, loose gravel and sand. I got the Trailkings and those things have a ton of grip. Tubeless ability to use lower tire pressure also helps. I'm loving the Trail Kings, tubeless set up!

interesting sentence 🤣🤣

❤️🙏🏾 thanks for the support

Same

The good ol days!!!

1.8 ounces total. 4.2 for tube 2.2 for tubolito tube. I’d say tubolito is the way to go though. 🤷🏿‍♂️

My thoughts exactly I'll be curious the weight of the tire with the weight of the sealant versus a tire and a tube weight

I’ll be making a follow up video and going over all that. Thanks guys!!

depends because you can run less sealant if you are worried about it, but i haven't gotten a flat in 2 years riding over many thorns and that peace of mind is worth it to me.

Do you run that? Maybe I’ll check it out

Mike Fede I don’t run it but my friend told me about it and it’s a super interesting concept, like it’s instant engagement going forward and unlimited slack going backwards

Mike Fede I think it’s called the freenight planetary coaster

Hey!! Thanks for the questions. With this tire you just need a rim that is tubeless compatible for the proper seal. You can do a rig job and make any tire tubeless but it’s really sketchy. This can be run in low or high psi. This specific tire goes to 85 psi and I ran about 80. I got the flat due to not getting the actual rim seal tape that’s like plastic and would have stopped my spoke from poking through when I hit it. That’s how the flat came about. I will be revisiting this video again soon and doing weight comparisons of different tubes with the pros and cons of all. Some people like just a regular tube and go and some like to get into the real specs of things. I appreciate your questions 🤙🏽

These tubeless ready rims are actually the lightest rims on the market. These tires weight about 20 ounces each. The shop gave me 3 ounces per wheel which is necessary. I have cleaned out the sealant myself on the rear wheel and put a tubolito tube back in until I receive the proper rim tape. The front is doing just fine as a tubeless setup. You are drastically improving the rotational weight when considering spinning the handle bar or bike it self in the air. You can definitely feel the difference.

@@MikeFede they might well be the lightest BMX tire in the market, but that same tire, not tubeless ready, would weigh considerably less. Remember too that they told you it is not the same weight as the tire they intend to sell on the open market. BTW, one of those bottle is the mfg recommended amount for two wheels even for a mtb. Don't get me wrong, my shop is no different than any other. We would use twice as much too.

Mark H Hendricks yeah they said that the tires will weigh approximately 2 ounces more per tire because they are going to be changing the PSI for production. The tires I was running before that or about the same weight or a little bit lighter, and I think those were pretty much the lightest I’ve run since KHE a number of years ago. Tubeless is definitely not for everyone, just the same as the tubolito tubes. I love those tubes and a lot of other riders don’t really careabout specifics with their bikes. Over the years I’ve pretty much ridden Everything and I like to mess around with different options. I think I’m cool with trying the tubeless but not sure if that will be a regular thing for me right now.

Mine are 20x2.40

@@EyeamWill77 on my current bike im running 2.4 front and 2.35 rear

Is that why I see everyone carrying there bikes now when they aren't on the track?
