• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I have a Perelli MT16 on my husky and run 8psi tubliss. Ever see this?

If you're running low pressure with tubliss, use about 6 ounces of tie sealant like quadboss or the thicker slime to keep the tire lubed and cool.

Or use more soapy water. I got almost a litre in my current VE33 100/90-19. I just kept adding more until it overflowed. :cheers:
 
not to go too deep, fact is these tires are not designed to be run at such low pressures at the speeds and forces they are being run at, the sidewalls are simply over flexing and tearing the belt fibers.
On that same note probably no worry, or maybe some slime just to coat the inside maybe that little lube may keep this to a minimum but really there is no data on that.
Also there is ride on, which is like slime, I believe tubeliss recommends slime in the tire with their system anyway. I dont think I would use soap water.
so conclusion add slime or ride-on to help the inner wall of the tire as well as for flat protection. Or do whatever you want- as for lube the mousse silicone stuff would be alternative. or just get mousses ...

normal when running very low pressure dont stress

unless the tire is falling apart before the tread is ready for replacement forget about it, if it is effecting the tire you could try slime but i very much doubt that it will do anything apart from sealing a few small leaks, the tire will still heat up and flex the same.
 
Yup all the time on trials tyres when they start losing psi there is still tread on the tyre but the inside is toast.
It's low pressures that over flex the sidewall slime may help prolong the issue by sealing the micro pores.
 
Tubliss recommends soapy water, rim is ali, spokes and nipples are stainless steel. 2 layers of duct tape and Tubliss bladder seals the rim. Lots of folks like Slime or some other sealant though.
I guess if the bike is going to sit for long might worry about using water.
:cheers:
 
Stiff wall tires with tubliss seem to work best for me. I do a good amount of pavement to connect trails with speeds 65 mph or so. If you run pavement, the tire sealant is critical to avoid overheating and damaging the tire. I've been running them for a few years with very good results using quadboss sealant added. Tubliss recommends soapy water to seal the bead during install BUT tire sealants and h2o don't play nice together so if you choose to use sealant, use sealant to lube and seal the tubliss system and tire from the start. Then add 6 to 8 ounces of additional sealant afterwards to help with cooling and flat protection. My 2 cents worth from experience.
 
Switch to GT 216 aa and that will not happen. MT-16 is to soft for low pressure. I killed two in two rides before changing
 
Thanks guys. All great advice. Im not worried, crack throttle and shred this tire. I change tires couple times a year. Agreed low pressure stresses. No slime for me, not helpful in ohio, messy, Jeff says its not a must
 
As said in the tubliss testing thread Shinko 520 is the toughest, longest lasting so far, but it's heavy. Sedona 887 was pretty good, but also heavy and a bear to mount. Next for me on the 300 is a 5.10-18 VE33. I'm running the 100/90-19 on my 165 @ 7 psi and lovin' it. :cheers:
 
I had the exact same sidewall shredding on a Pirelli mt16. lasted about 875 kms. still lots of tread left (mt 16 before that lasted 1400kms with no shredding) run my 310 hard with about 10 to 11 psi and regular tube. switched to metzeler unicross, so far, so good.
**noticed bad hop sensation from tires on pavement ride home from trail, with that mt16.
