Tubeless tyres.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure this is the right section. If not, I apologize.

I'm thinking about a mod of tyres (wheels), in order to transform in tubeless.

There is an Italian Factory that do this mod. It's quite cheap (about 150 Euro), and they assure (not formalize) the work for about 10 years.

Someone have information about this mod. I attached link.

Tanks in advance. By.

Great idea if yer don't venture far off the beaten track
I will stick with tubes... I have seen a guy trying to fix
a tubeless tyre in the middle of nowhere.. Had to give him one
of my spare tubes... Bet that BMW got tubes in now..

Well for the XTX seems like a good idea, we cannot go off road. Hehe. Mind you went down a flight of stone steps yesterday as a short cut, but the road tyres do not give much confidence....

There is a pretty good and informative article on modifying XTZ rims to accept tubeless tyres here...
