No to those options other than plugs.......I have run tubeless......rims converted by me on a honda. Zero issues for 4 years.
Tubliss is really heavy.........gloop in the tubes is a disaster, just ask Wheels. 🥴

Thanks Lee. I looked carefully at "Tubliss" . Noting the additional balance weights, the need to drill another hole in the rim and being cautious about running higher pressure on road. Also noting a "not for road use". Have you tried converting Ural rims to tubeless? If so, might this be worth a shot?

Good to hear you are getting let loose🤣🤣 We are Regional(just) so not as impacted as you. Enjoy.
Please keep us posted regarding the rim conversion and how it works out. Assume you are doing the pusher?

Deano, he now has a very heavy rear wheel with two valves. 🥴

Tubliss set up Dean. Gets a good report, but I have reservations. Re road use and wheel balance. Very glad ploz is testing it for us. Thanks mate.

Good man. From my research, even though instructions suggest use offroad, with the main benefit being greater traction due to being able to run very low pressures. You would think running at speed would create friction in the tyre casing causing heat. On the other hand others have used them up to 30 ish psi and 90kph, without any obvious issues. There may be damage to the tyre carcass side wall which is not obvious. Please keep us posted and good luck with it. Perhaps some more weight on the valve stems thru using tyre pressure monitors could help your evaluation.
