I use spoons myself, And I lube the crap out the red bladder and the tire bead. The reason for me at least to use the tubeless is light weight for low hp bikes like the Honda CRF300L/Rally. Switching to Alu sprocket and tubeless saves weight on that rotational mass. It might be in my head but I feel like I can feel a significant difference.

Been using Bridgestone Ultra Heavy Duty tubes for over 20 years. The tube would eventually fail at the the valve stem from changing them so often. Always carried a spare tube (cheap one) and tire changing equipment on my dual sport rides. Finally switched to the Nitro mouses 3 years ago not because I was unhappy with the HD tubes. Just got tired carrying the tube and tools. I just pull the Nitro’s once a year and call it a day.
Alexis did a great job. I have a rabaconda, and it's still challenging. Some tires are a lot harder than others. My tires usually hold air for about a month or 2. I usually check my tires every couple rides.
Experience helps. Use 2 or 3 bead buddies. Better tire irons would help as well. I use one large zip-ty racing long tire iron with aluminum handle. I use the good motion pro spoons with the loop at the end. I just use soapy water or windex. Watching the tubeless video and following it exactly helps. If they are in correctly they don't lose pressure. For cactus thorns a tire sealant like Slime helps a lot.
Those Grunt boots would serve me well…while I’m WAITING for my 300 Rally to eventually come in! Love the content, as I’m new to the dual sport riding world. Keep it up!
I just bought a 300 Rally. Shop near me got a used one in. 2022 with 610 miles on it. The guy that bought it was short and kinda have a little problem so he sold or traded it back. I latched on to it because they are pretty hard to get right now. I've only been able to ride it 20 miles so far due to weather. I think I'm gonna like it. 😁
Rear tyre is easy. Front tyre is harder to get on as the Tubliss takes up most of the rim. 2 x Bead Buddies and a couple of G clamps to squeeze the tyre into the drop centre helped me. Getting it off again with out picking up the red liner? Still working on that.
I just use a 3m sealant tape with a crystal clear vinyl gorilla tape as a protection layer. Couple all this with a regular street value stem and it will hold pressure.
Love the Tubliss system I have been using it for the past 3 years for Moto. On the rear, I have had no problems with the front tire I stopped using it. At first, on the front, the system would go flat overnight once I solved that problem I had multiple inter bladers go bad the little tube would split at the seams or the valve core would tear away from the tube.
Hello from France The front tire is really tricky So first congratulation I tried 2 times I put a bib for the front But i got expériences from the rear... So i will try the next front tire with a new high pressure chamber I use spoon tire iron ... front tire is more tight ans it's not easy to touch the red chamber... And notice to verify if your HP Tube is ok before put your tire Inflate deflate...😊
Thise boots would be awesome for my 19yo son. He just got hired by an hvac company, it’s his first real full time job and he could use a good pair of work boots. Either way, absolutely love your channel, keep up the great content!
@@AdventureDaily man you’re too kind! We have a lot in common bike wise and lifestyles and even the oh giant feet! 😆 I really appreciate it! Email on the way! 🙏🏽
Tip for the Murphy tire lube: Put a glob of lube in a empty Gatorade bottle then fill rest of bottle with water. Shake well and let it set for a few days then shake it up again (Takes a few days to dissolve). After it has dissolved in water put it into a spray bottle. A lot easier to use than messing with the gooy stuff.
I use to run tublis it was ok my main complaint with it is you have to check the air pressure in your bladder if it sets for a week at least mine did u finally went to bib moose no more worries about flats and if you ride on the highway with the tublis you will feel some vibration if you go very fast im not putting them down I used it for 4 years but I would recommend when you replace a tire you might want to consider putting in a new bladder I learned the hard way but as they say different strokes for different folks
I used tubliss for about 2years, to me it is way more maintenance, $$$ and it does lose air so your checking every ride, so for me just the conventional tube and 12-13lb air offroad or 15 - 18lb 50/50 dual sporting works the best, If your doing a long long adventure ride just carried extra tube, patches, bicycle pump, spoons. if you really stress it that D sport tire can be ridden 30mi on a flat,
I was just on their website looking at boots. I am a size 13 as well. Picked myself up a Husky 350 s after seeing you get one too. Keep up the content!!
ok so one of the reasons you probably had a stem failure is because they recommend you place the rim lock closer to the tube stem. The instructions show 4 spokes apart or you will damage the liner. Also use Armoral and spray the entire red inner liner and it will go on by hand. The inner liner will lose some air like any bicycle tube with high pressure such as a road tube so you should at least check it. You can run some tubeless sealant in the chamber part such as Stans Notubes which works great for these and will seal smaller holes but always carry a plug kit. Plus if you get a flat in the chamber part and the inner liner stays up you can generally ride it out as it will hold the tire in place and keep it from coming off the rim.
Lex, make sure you are directly straight across from the Bead Buddy. If you Clamp the Bead Down at 12 o'clock, your use your 1st spoon at 6. Starting at 7 or 8 makes it much harder. Lube the bead as well....Lube is good, lol.
I've never changed a motorcycle tire but I watched a video where a guy was using a "Original Baja No Pinch Kit" though I think it only works for installing.
Great job Alexis. It aint easy and more so on the side of a trail without a wheel stand or a bucket. I have smaller 8" long spoons in my trail pack and luckily have only ever struggled when changing tires as have been using HD tubes and never had a flat in the last 20 years but don't run as low as 5 PSI. Maybe the lowest was 8psi but usually run 10-12 psi as I ride asphalt also to get to the trails. lots of hard pack or rocky trails and forest roads and yellow and red Clay soils and mud where I ride. river and creek crossings Never had issues with traction on the XR so never saw the need to run as low as 5 or lower. and never bent a rim either. But that is just me.
what if the red high pressure gets punctured? I dont understand the difference between this and regular tubed tire when it comes to not being stranded in a trail doing a repair lool
She did great it's funny but I'm a traveler to and I'm actually in dublin ohio right now missing my bike but with the ohio winter just didn't make sense to bring
how much does this system weigh ?? I am thinking?? do I really need super low tire pressure??? its pretty cool. I remember getting super strong tubes back in the day.. not even sure if you can still get those. they were like "clear" I think and supposedly puncture proof. (from the 1990's).. I ran some tires SO worn I mean you could see the radio strings all around the entire tire on one bike.. and I rode it that way for 6 months before finally changing the tire. probably not smart.. forget about the traction.. the side knobs would grab a little I guess.. (rear - I wouldn't ride with the front that bad but the front was a banana peel as well but no radials showing)
Dang homie, you need to find out why you're shadow-banned. I used to get notifications whenever you posted, now I have to search for your videos. You got 90.1K subscribers and only average 2 to 4K views per video. That ain't right.
Ok so everyone is a 13 but when it comes to changing the tire try this trick= use a grinder to cut the wire on both sides and it loses all its power to stay on
What is the real benefit of tubliss? I'm also replacing tires 5-7 times a year and I wouldn't want to deal with that mounting over and over. You also only showed the front, which is so much easier Just seems like a pain in the ass to install and I wouldn't want to have to deal with an issue on the trail during 8-10 all day ride. Also, I would have scotchbrited the inside of the rim and removed all the bullshit residue
There are tons of benefits to using tubliss. The main one is offroad traction, obviously. I ride with a lot of people that use this system all day and don't have a problem. A seasoned rider, such as yourself, checks their tire pressures before each ride anyway, so that's no extra inconvenience. I think you are misunderstanding how the system works. It actually makes an "issue on the trail" easier to deal with. With Tubliss, you don't need to carry heavy / bulky spare tubes and tire spoons. You can use a tire plug, reinflate, and keep going. The tire doesn't need to come off the rim or the bike. Way easier. If you want to, you could run it flat, since the inner high pressure tube still has pressure.
