Not all spoke wheels have tubes--I run aftermarket "radial" 40-spoke rims--no tubes.

 

Does any oneknow ifSeal n Air emergency tire sealant made by Threebond works. Since I have tube tire I carry a can. [/align]

 

The tires are the same, laced wheels or cast. It will still say "tubeless" on the tire. The tube is required because of the type of wheel ( laced ).

 

Tubes suck; been that way for 30 years!! i hate tubes, they go flat everytime you pass a nail on the road.

 

General rule of thumb spokes = tubes. Better safe than sorry,k but to each there own. Ride safe and enjoy.

 

if you have a bike with bags you should carry a 12 volt pump at all times..if you have a tubeless tire you should carry a plug kit...if you have a tube tire carry a bottle of green slime for tubeless tires from auto part store...if possible carry all three in your car and motorcycle and save a brother on the side of the road....and on those terms if you do not help a biker on the side of the road regardless if you are on your bike...you suck!

 

What if it's the other way around. Can tubes go on a cast wheel; or can tires that say "tube type" be tubeless on a cast rim?
thanks
