]]> Comment on Going Ghetto Tubeless by Alan http://www.alananna.co.uk/blog/2008/going-ghetto-tubeless/#comment-15729 Alan Thu, 06 Nov 2008 08:32:24 +0000 http://www.alananna.co.uk/blog/?p=872#comment-15729 Well, I have to say I've been impressed and I'm completely converted to the Ghetto Tubeless system. I've been riding like this for 3 months or so and have done about 500 miles almost entirely off-road. In this time I've had one puncture which was inevitable seeing as the rear tyre had a 1cm long gash in it when I first put it on. When this happened it sealed itself and was perfectly rideable again after about 5 mins and the addition of some air in the tyre. Not bad considering I would have had about 5 punctures over a similar amount of time with tubes. The rear tyre has now worn down so I changed it yesterday. I did one ride on it first with a tube in it just to help the tyre conform to the shape of the rim and then converted it to tubeless. Once again I had no problems getting a seal and although the tyre is currently loosing a little pressure overnight I expect the sealant to seal it fully after a couple of proper rides.

I have the yellow Tahiti classic. Its pretty cool but this one looks much more high class to me and tougher maybe. This canoe looks fantastic to me. I have the yellow Tahiti classic.

I have been guilty of not taking enough photos lately and I used to be quite into photography, so maybe I should get out there and do some more... I could the justify treating myself to a nice new Digital SLR as well! ;) Al.
