that looks bad hope you get well quick
did the tubliss flat cause you to crash?
the only weakness i found with mine is if you are running low pressures and nail a big rock right on the rimlock it will make a unhappy noise and possibly get you a flat, the bonus is if you get a flat grab your plug kit and check by the rimlock, only had 2 flats in 8 months (plug and 5 min later im back riding), before i poped a tube a month
also if you have a tubliss use lots of soapy water when installing the tire and it will hold air forever.... no soapy water and it will leak

Heaviest duty tube you can find.
talc in tire
lose rim strip and cover with duct tape a few wraps cut at half tape width.
lose nut on tube outside rim
run 2 psi more than you want to
Done, so few flats in 30 years it doesn't even deserve mention, I ride mostly rocks.

That's how to do it.

liked the Tubliss because I was able to run 11 PSI with no pinch flats for
1 1/2 years.I think tore off a knob. I will still trail ride with them, but plan to
run a Bib up front and a lighter bike for the next event.
Got this for Fathers day.
I want to learn to ride what wins in Baja every year.

Thank,s Bob.
My nose is OK, they took the stitches today.
5 more days for the staples in my knee and stitches in my elbow.
I feel good, but it sucks having 2 black eyes.
Craig.

Hey Craig,
Hope my post didn't come off wrong and I meant to put heal up quick in the post and went back today and realized I hadn't.
So first and foremost, heal up quick and sorry for my rudeness.
I rode that bib moose stuff or whatever its called once, it was not my bike but I didn't like the feel the way I like air. My other post was basically just the way I roll and that the combo has rarely failed me front and rear.

Thank's no worries, I will try what you recommend.
I think with a lighter bike it might work for me, with my XR650,
I found it would turn well and stick to rocks with 9-11 PSI.
It also worked better in soft sand which I also ride.
With Tubliss I was able to run 9-11 PSI. without pinch flats.
Thank's for your help Craig.
