I always learn something from watching your vids. You have such a knack for describing things in an easy to understand manner 👍👍👍

[@spicy110]

Me and Reeno have decided you are the nicest person we know on the internet. Please never change. ❤

[@maycrotch8576]

@@spicy110 Aww. Thanks very much. I also think you and Reeno are the nicest and talented people on the Internet. Can't be many people around with the knowledge and skills you have spicy✨🌟✨🌟

[@grossi46]

Omg you must be reading my mind. I got a screw in my tubeless rear tyre 2 weeks ago and was going to use tyre weld but fortunately my tyre needed replacing anyone so just got a new 1. Then I was looking online for the difference between tubeless and tubes and couldn't find any and then boom there you are 👍👍👍👍

[@hamprof]

exactly what I was looking for. very well explained thank you

[@charlievoneinzbern6548]

This was very interesting, thank you

[@PA88S12345]

i like how you and jakethegardensnake both have done wheel videos but both have a very different approach to informing people... ik its not the exact same video but very similar

[@bren106]

Spotted one of your clocks on the wall in the shop (Revolution Warrington) where I was looking at the Michigan yesterday. Either that or the Super light will have my arse on sometime soon, and at the minute the Michigan is a fair way in the lead.

[@Chris-c-r]

11:12 a valve stem on a tubeless setup can still have threaded valve stem and a nut holding it down , that’s what my Aprilia tuono anyway .

[@spicy110]

You and your fancy valve stems! Haha I knew there would be an exception somewhere but generally it a good hint.

[@Chris-c-r]

spicy110 I have had to tighten them up before because they were leaking . Year your right it usually is a good pointer .

[@takenbistorm1]

Tesco are selling the tyre weld for £3.50 at the moment

Ricky, his Mum passed hunny. Once again sorry for her loss Spicy

[@randysavage1997]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@raymondsimpson7433]

In my case, the reason for putting a tube in a cast tubeless rim is that it's a new tire, and for added security, I would patch plug the tire and add a tube. Then I wouldn't have to buy a new tire and not worry about the patch going out.

[@HeartsRain]

hi thanks for the video. could you kindly explain what are the differences between a tubed type tire vs tubless type tire?

[@kitkimbrough9441]

Did you even watch the video!??...big dummy!!...lol

[@gavc750]

You should get the tyre repaired with the mushroom type plug as well as replacing the inner tube. If you leave a hole in the tyre, water can get in and start to separate the layers the tyre is made up of

[@munthasivasaisanthoshkumar7664]

i'm using (bajaj platina comfortec 100 cc tube type bike) can u check and say that can i make it tube less tyre type does that rim supportable or not

[@jamie55555]

so i have a cast wheel(tubeless) but just purchased some tires that says (tube type tire) have not purchased tubes for them yet but you are saying there is how much of a chance that i wont need intertubes ?

[@alistairstuart2009]

My Honda wave has cast wheels but it came with tubed tyres, I changed the tires for street pilots (tubeless) but still needed tubes in them. I also put off road tubes in them with slime to stop getting punctures on back roads.

[@spicy110]

Yer there are exceptions to the rule, seems like small bikes with thin wheels use tubes in some cases.

[@xtc2v]

Slime will never fix an inner tube

[@alistairstuart2009]

@@xtc2v I know, but it gets you home! The slime I used was meant for tubed tyres, never had a puncture after putting it in even though the tyres had lots of cuts on them but it could of been the thicker tubes that helped

[@xtc2v]

@@alistairstuart2009 I've never seen a slime specifically for tubes. What brand is it?

[@alistairstuart2009]

@@xtc2v The brand is slime, its mostly used for mountain bikes but can be used for off road bikes and scooters too, I'm pretty sure that this only works in tubed tyres but i'm not 100% sure

[@hazzalandy]

Suzuki Gs125- first small bike with cast rims, so runs tubes, I assume because tubeless 2.75x18 tyres weren't available

[@spicy110]

As discussed in the comments below it would seem 125cc bike with skinny front wheels use tubes. It maybe the rims profile isn't able to create that bead lock.

[@markholland9607]

Got my CBT again tomorrow morning let's hope I pass then can do theory test then das course

Wishing you the best of luck! 👍

[@KENNO_04]

I'm doing motor vehicle in college and i have repaired a tyre with that mushroom shaped wire thing and i also needed to place glue before pulling the wire through im trying to find the difference between a tubed and tubless tyre but im working on cars i thing there just the same

[@michaelkuzmadutton7879]

Cars are only tubeless tires (thank God), at least modern ones, some antique cars have tube tires.

[@thewicketd7817]

Tubeless spokes could also attach to the H instead of mounted on the outside

[@reaperoflostsouls4323]

You can also put tubes in tubeless tires if needed for any reason.

[@spicy110]

As mentioned in the video, but it's hard to find a reason beyond having a puncher that can't be fixed and then I would question is that damage so bad you shouldn't be using the tyre at all. 🙂👍

[@reaperoflostsouls4323]

@@spicy110 I know someone who bought the wrong tire for his bike (Tubeless) we just fitted a tube inside works fine.

[@robertpinder2307]

You seem to be an expert on rims, wonder if you can tell me if the flanges on tube and tubeless rims are shaped differently. On bicycles, for example, they are different and it is dangerous to run a tubeless tire on a tube type rim. Is that the case for motorcycle rims?

[@spicy110]

To the best of my knowledge (defo not exspet) Yes I do believe there is more of a lip on tubless rims to help hold the seal.

[@BoBlinhot]

I have a keeway super light, cast rims and a tubed tyre. I've never understood why it's this way

[@spicy110]

It is indeed very odd, but if they are doing it I guess there is a reason....🤔

[@ilovecake50]

I think bikes designed to be used in countries that have poor road surfaces used tubes as it's easier to just carry a spare inner tube and throw it in if you get a puncture than trying to plug a tubes tire, Although you can convert a tubed cast rim to tubeless if you want I did it on my Suzuki GN125

[@BoBlinhot]

@@ilovecake50 makes sense, I think next time ill ask at the garage if they can be tubeless

[@nathangreen6286]

Spicy knees here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thedogs123ful]

Can cast be tubeless and tubed ? I have a ksr worxs, it’s a cast wheel but has a tube ? Could I put a tubeless tire on the rim

[@spicy110]

As mentioned in the video you can yes, as it would seem from comments some 125cc bikes use tubes in cast rims.

[@thedogs123ful]

spicy110 thanks 👍. Local garage is telling me different that’s all thanks for the reply

[@mcjjordan]

Tyre seal?

[@oriordan51]

hey love your video keep up the keep gd work. just a quick question. we all know 125cc bike are not good for A1. road . for long periods of time .but sometime we have no choice. my question is. l have a 125 which l use for work now. l do about 250m a week.Majority times there are on 30 roads which is find. but sometime l have to go on.a1 road. so my speed is 40 45 mph for half hour my red line at 11000 rpm. l do my best to keep between 5000 an 6000 rpm do u think this is ok for the bike

[@spicy110]

It obviously depends in the bike but normally 125cc bike can take the abuse, even if your up around 8k remember they as built with that in mind.

[@oriordan51]

@@spicy110 ok thank for the reply

[@spicy110]

Just make sure you do your oil changes! Should have said that.

[@HippoDrones]

This was a really interesting video, as was Jake's lacing up a wheel and his other one of making them tubeless. FortNine recently made a video on tyres/tires too and how they sit on a rim of a motorbike compared to a car. I have Kineo tubeless spoked wheels on my Moto Guzzi V7, they look bling as hell and are a bit lighter than the forged ones they replaced and the tubed option on the other verients of the V7. On the dirty bikes, Big_Pezza mentioned on Twitter that there is the TUbliss system which is very cool and allows you to run 0 psi if you wanted to for mega traction, you can also get mouses and tireballs, which will stop you ever having to worry about punctures again, but I don't think they are legal for road use due to heat issues.

[@rickymullane9973]

sorry to hear about your mum mate

[@spicy110]

Nan but thank you, it because I said mums mum it confused a few.

[@kennetknudsen7042]

so in this video you spoke about screwing around with your nipples, and made a demonstration about doing a rim job.

will show my self out the door :D

There was some rubber in there too!

[@fit21guy]

I like your channel but sorry I couldnt watch a how to from jake... when he thinks oil gets thicker as it gets hotter...

[@spicy110]

He's a qualified motorcycle mechanic, he used to do it for a living. I know Matt doesn't seem like him and he may get stuff wrong sometimes just like me and everyone else. Not sure he should be discredited for that. 🤷‍♀️

Tubeless and rim with spokes don't go together.

[@spicy110]

Yes they can, with mods.

[@chadkline4268]

No, you cant put a tube in a tubeless wheel. The valve won't fit the hole .. properly. The hole will be too big.

[@spicy110]

Yes you can, Many people do it. You may need to mod it but it can be done.

[@chadkline4268]

@@spicy110 well, if they do enough work, anything is possible, but tubeless rims are not made to protect tubes. And a tube is no savior for a bent rim or other damage to a tubeless tire when you're 100mi in the middle of nowhere. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6DUYn6Fe6xoY9U That's Continental Tires. There is a good reason motocross bikes do not use tubeless tires. And the same applies to ADV bikes.
