Dirt Bike Hack - no more flat tires!! Lucioli 7mm inner tube

[@melaniemarks6359]

Whether or not it is or isn’t an individual rider’s preference, I appreciate you taking the time to share a new product with the Moto community. I’m thankful for KZbinrs like you that are willing to do that for us.

[@gophop]

I've considered them months ago. I've ruled them out after finding out the weight. They're heavier than mousse, which is already a boat anchor for the unsprung mass. Tubliss and an 8oz plug kit in the backpack for me.

[@bigals.ktms.9937]

Agreed I thought that too ,its bad enough running ultra heavy duty tubes with the unsprung weight,but these would be nearly double the weight I would suspect.

[@MichaelAbramo]

Fair point, although the tubes will give you the air spring feeling rather than the dead foam feeling of a mousse. So yes it will be more rotating mass but it might not feel as heavy while riding on the trail

[@mikeandrews1899]

I run ultra heavy duty tubes , and I have no issues or concerns with the extra unsprung weight 🤷‍♂️

[@MacawAviculture]

I ride dual sport, so both street and off-road. I have used the Tubeliss system for 8 years with no flat tires. This 7mm inner tube setup looks awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@mpires38]

1 year running on rear wheel, close to flat to have top traction, super happy so far 👍

[@Redwood414]

Hey do you have ride on roads going 65+ mph with these?

[@RobboRobinson]

I've been using these in the UK since 2019. I still have my original one with over 250 hrs use plus I have them in my ADV bike which have done 60hrs or so. The weight issue has never caused me any problems. Hard Enduro wise I just run one in the rear and have a mousse up front which is a little lighter. I have punctured one and so have a few guys that I know. However the majority of tubes we have sold at the shop I work at which is probably 400 units or so have been a good investment for the customer. The main thing is fitting them correctly and continued care to make it last longer. Good Job man!

[@dirtniron]

right on Robbo, thanks for sharing!

[@Skiamakhos]

Apologies for the thread necromancy but, would these be any good for mixed use, like 50% road, 50% off-road, say on an Africa Twin?

[@RobboRobinson]

@@Skiamakhos I don't think they would be suitable on the bigger adv bikes like the Africa Twin as I don't think they could cope with the higher speed factors on tarmac along with extra weight plus the related heat. They are designed for lightweight dirt bikes.

[@danagerds]

i love how you put a list of brands with the thickest tubes ! you just saved me some research time! thank you !!

[@dirtniron]

cool, glad it helps

[@onthethrottle7104]

I used to run moose, and I did like them - switched to Tubliss just to go lighter...so far I love the Tubliss system. I run the front on about 2 PSI because the tire itself is a harder walled tire - rear I run 5 PSI in the rear and ride the nastiest desert stuff with sharp rocks and huge cliffs and hard landings, etc. I've had no problems whatsoever. I think the secret to Tubliss is maintenance, make sure the inner tube is 110 PSI before each ride. Hope I didn't just jinx myself, haha. Rado does such a great job -good vid

[@dirtniron]

thanks a lot, appreciate you sharing your experience

[@ajr.1272]

They are Brazilian made. Here in Brazil they are one of the best choices for running extremely low pressures, because everything else on the market is way too expensive. It can actually be run all the way down to zero psi if needed. But I feel it rides better around 2-4psi.

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing. appreciate it

[@ajr.1272]

@Tim Brandt That must be the combo, front and rear.

[@bannedbrothers]

I just bought the combo of Lucioli and so far so good! I previously ran the Bridgestone UHD 4mm tubes front and rear and loved them except the times I got a cactus/yucca stuck into one. But I always need to adjust psi since we ride gnarly terrain and hillclimbs but also fast desert. Mousse isn’t an option and Tubliss have a high failure rate. (Don’t @ me Tubliss Cult) These Lucioli are the best of both worlds like a Tubliss and like a UHD. They’re not easy to install but with a tire stand it makes it easier. I run them like my UHD at 4PSI but I may try less since the stiffness makes these feel like they have more PSI. The only downfall (and every system has a downfall) is that these are heavy. I’m not gonna lie. But I got used to it.

[@motosempreonline]

He is Brazilian Mr. Lucioli, form Minas Gerais, the best enduro trails in Brazil!!! Please edit an give the right credits.

[@jeffarcher400]

A Russian guy told me a trick where you run two tubes using a rimlock hole. You could inflate each halfway or keep one in reserve. I haven't tried it yet. I was jinxed once and got eight flats in eight rides. I was a nail magnet 😂. Found the mousse to be heavy,hard to change and dead feeling. One broke down on a hot day with a heavy rider. There's those Enduro balls that seem better than the mousse. Haven't tried them either. Except for pinch flats, triangle tears and ripped valve stems, fix a flat or slime works good. If you carry a bike pump and keep refilling it the hole eventually plugs up and you can keep riding. Spare wheels are the best backup. Tubeless has made a huge difference on my Mt. Bikes. I haven't needed to use a gummy worm plug or pinched through the tire. A friend runs low pressure and popped it off the rim making a huge mess and he wasn't carrying a spare tube. Carry a spare tube.

[@newenglandscrambler2262]

Re: enduro balls - Mike at Taco Moto did some testing a while back and thought they were trash. Sounds great in concept, but they didn't perform well and failed/wore out pretty quickly IIRC.

300ml of slime in each tube has been the best, easiest and cheapest solution for protecting me against punctures.

How does it feel riding with slime if the bike was parked for a week ?

[@FXSTB-i]

@@CME_Tube21Good question

[@CME_Tube21]

SLIME for dirtbikes is rubbish. Most holes from nails/metal or caused from low tyre pressure are too big to make slime work. I tried slime over months and it was just useless.

[@Redwood414]

​@@CME_Tube21you shouldn't put slime in the tube right away. Because you won't know that you have a compromised tube. Slime is to get you back to the truck. Bring slime and CO2 cans and you should make it back to the truck.

it's strange that you present the Lucioli inner tubes and don't have them with you. I use this system and I am very satisfied.

Tubliss is the best man. Lightest setup & easy to plug a tire trailside. No tire removal needed. You can run a tubliss system home on a completely flat tire as well & it will even stay beaded.

[@andrewhawk2154]

people hate on them but like you said there light and the tire is super easy to change. i’m not sure if he mentioned how hard it is to change tires with that tube

[@joefoster259]

I have one in front. Race in Texas. Only one race thus far. I hit everything like I has a mousse setup, no flat. Deflection is low off rocks at 12 psi. I chose it because it last longer than mousse and no flat spots from hauling or storing.

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing

[@philsheridan6759]

Running front rear like so far. But im newer to it. Love the traction

[@kx501]

Tubliss is junk in my opinion & Mousse is too expensive and doesn't last, so i very keen to try this! The only problem is their rim lock locations, because the WR for example come with 2 rim lock holes already and if they dont line up you will have to drill a 3rd hole.

[@duncanwhitcombe4392]

Does anyone know how these tubs handle heat from highway riding for dual sport bikes?

[@jeffbrownell279]

Will stick with tubless,lighter and better.Have run with the tire chamber flat for over 20 miles without damaging inner tube plus it keeps tire locked to rim.Damn that would be a heavy set up with a 525 shinko.

@@bigglyguy8429 that's probably 1 in a million that have split. I beat the piss out of my rear Tubliss and the only thing that ever wears out is the red liner. If the psi is too low the tire will rub on that red liner and wear it out. Only takes one or two times to do so.

@@mountainmonkey172 I had it professionally fitted, but never had a chance to use it cos of covid. Finally got to ride, checked both pressures, all seemed good - first time I hit the brakes hard, the front spun and tore open at the valve. I threw that crap out and put a tube in it. The rear is still tubliss but it if gives any trouble at all it's going in the bin as well. The entire point of spending all that money was to avoid punctures, and the POS let me down on the first long ride

[@babar69110]

always makes me laught to think that a 4 mm tube thickness wil resist a thorn better than a 2 mm. If anything goes throught the tire carcass, it will go 50X far easier through the tube.. That said , pinching tube when hitting can be drastically reduced by simple things : Tube needs to escape from sides ! red rubber grease is the way. Or any natural oil like olive oil. Really good inside rim protection is needed too. You can fold on itself an MTB tube ( valve cut ) as a rim protection. If greased under, no water , sand and mud coming inside from spokes screws too. 5 years I run 0.4 bars rear and 0.5 front with ordinary tubes and using this system. Zero problems. HUD tubes are nearly impossible to patch on the way. They need good vulcanization, are bulky and heavy to bring as spare... .They can't stahd heat and rides upon 80 km h on summer tarmac liaisons when needed. They slowly desagregete in small gum bullets.

Good day, fellow riders. I have a 2009 Yamaha WR250F which just had a bottom-end rebuild. We replaced the crankshaft, cylinder, and piston with brand new parts. After reassembly, we went to start the bike and after a few minutes running we noticed that the oil tank was bulging and then burst open right under the fill/drain plug (see attached photo). We welded it shut, then started the bike. After leaving it running for a while to break in the new piston and cylinder, the oil tank burst open again, this time through the seams on the side. We are stumped as to what can be causing such a build up of pressure in the oil system, enough to make the oil tank bulge, then burst. I should add that we did not overfill or exceed the oil capacity of the engine, in fact, we underfilled by 200ml. Can someone help? Thanks.
