  • The prices of bike tires are too darn high! So I've decided to fight back with duct tape! With 13 rolls on each wheel, I head out to see how this new technology performs!

I just cuttet the bead of the xc tire and puted a tube in it but secured the tube with this tubless nut on the valve stem because the tube has a hole in it. it actually holds air in it. you can feel the weight when paddeling but there is no difference jumping and doing whips. I can recommend it for bikeparks as you wont have any flats with the hybrit tube -tubless home made double down system as you have the best of tubes and tubless
