Hi there farkers.
My commuter is an old GT Avalanche now converted to SS. I love it. It's fast.
I run Maxxis Detonators cos I like them but lately I've been getting way too many punctures (at least one a week - hooray for Sydney streets and their broken glass everywhere). I normally run them at about 70PSI.
So my questions are:
- would Stans or similar tubeless conversions be able to handle the pressure of my road tyres?? what is the likely outcome if I try this? Tyres blow off? worse?
- is there some form of tube protector you can add between the tyre carcass and the tube?
- Has anyone tried the self-repairing tubes (slime?)? If so, how do they go?
- what else could I try?
Any help appreciated.
A spare tube goes to the person with the best suggestion
