[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 166420, member: 2989"] Personal opinion here from the UK, as far as I am aware there are still tyres made specifically for use with tubes. But what you are asking is a spoked wheel by definition has a rim let us say for sheer argument one of the best "Racing Rims" money could by back in the day Borani rims in the pictures I have provided you can clearly see the piercings where the spokes are fitted. Without having some sort of very expensive sealing system that would be air tight while the wheel flexes you would have to use a tube. I just can't see why you would have a problem in 1) using an inner tube and 2) even a tubeless tyre will run perfectly fine with an inner tube inside it. Borani Rim naked [ATTACH type="full" alt="Borani rim.jpg"]12729._xfImport[/ATTACH] Sanremo rim same thing [ATTACH type="full" alt="sanremo.jpg"]12730._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now I will show you a CONVERSION you can buy [ATTACH type="full" alt="tbeless conversion.jpg"]12731._xfImport[/ATTACH] Great you say that is exactly what I want, yippie, well this is the cost for a Trumph wheel Kit [ATTACH type="full" alt="cost.jpg"]12732._xfImport[/ATTACH] £450 UK pounds for 1 wheel. Personally the cost of an inner tube is $10 bucks maybe 20 even 50 but I can buy a LOT of tubes and tyres for £450 or to be real £900 for two, oh and you haven't paid for the wheel build so in dollars that is going to cost you a cool $1283 US, you haven't bought the rims yet? so I give it to the group is it worth putting a rimless spoked wheel on a GL1000 so it can use a tubeless tyre. I think that the discussion is closed on the grounds it isn't worth it. :ahem: [/QUOTE]
