Another tyre question!

Post by Arthurdaily »

So, new tyres but just realised that my present ones are all tubed tyres, old standard wheels. Does this make a difference? Can a tyre place simply take them off and put new and presuamably tubeless tyres on? Will it cost more to have them 'converted'?

Is there a difference between wheels with tube and those without?

Thank you!

Tubeless tyres can be used but make sure rims are clean and valve has latex sealant round it :)

Some will tell you that the wheels are not designed for tubeless tyres but I have been using them on my Minors for over 30 years with no problems
