Balls in your Tyres

[GregMember]

Well Ollie I cant bag it until I try it is my thinking. I hate people that shit can things and have never tried it.
Be interested in the tubeliss setup as I can see the benefits on a loam covered motorcross track but worry in the bush with logs, rocks, sticks etc. The biggest problem I see is the tyre we run aren’t designed to run tubeless, but am interested mate cheers

So how many balls to a front tyre, did he say. Do you pack them tight or just put them in and leave that 3/4 of a ball gap that is bound to be left over at the end.

Has he ever run them in the rear. I guess the diameter is bigger than the balls and they wouldn’t take up the slack.

10 months ago Ollie mentioned Tennis balls in your front tyre and I like everybody laughed at him.

Well a well known industry person today mentioned running tennis balls in the the front rather than a Mousse. I laughed but soon realised he was deadly serious :huh:

So to settle this I am thinking of trying it :blink: any input would be welcomed

Tubeless is the future. MTB has changed over already and anyone running tubes now is old school. Give us a few years and it will be the same. No need for stupidly heavy UHD tubes. Low pressure, high traction and no flats. The only issue is if you rip a sidewall and how often does that happen?

you can still put the “slime” in there as an extra precaution as well.

will be interesting to see how they do actually perform in the bush.
