• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

About Tubliss installation

I am about to install the Tubliss system on my 06 TE 610. The wheels did not come with bead locks but there is a rubber bung in a hole about halfway around the rim from the hole for the tube stem.

I always assumed that bung was where a bead lock would go if I ever wanted to install one. Is that correct? If so, it would appear that I do not need to drill a new whole to install the rimlock/valve inlet for the tubliss.

My second question is about the position of the proposed inlet for the Tubliss. If it is placed where the bung is now, wouldn't it make it harder to change tires because each of these space consuming items (the tube stem and the tubliss stem/beadlock) would be on opposite sides. The Tubliss installation video suggests that the two stems should about 4 spokes apart.

I'm dangerous with power tools, your input is appreciated before I pick up the drill. :busted:
 
I drilled new holes when I installed mine.

It can be done without drilling but like you said it makes installation harder.

Later,
 
I just used the opposing holes (tube and rim lock), but had to drill one hole bigger to accommodate the Tubliss rim lock. With a little practice, lining up the two stems on opposite sides becomes fairly easy...do no try with beer!
 
Thanks for the replies. I just heard from tubliss as well. They definitely find that placing the holes closer together makes it easier to change tires. Sometimes, I need all the help I can get on that issue, so I think the extra hole is worth it. Now where did I put that drill?
