Tubeless Tires Question

Post by Dallen70 »

I got a pair of 90/90-10 tubeless michelin tires, I was wondering if the stock 1994+ elite rims are capable of running tubeless or if they will still require the tubes?

Capable, and practical are two different things. I would not want to be buzzing along at 50-60 mph and have one fail.......
Those "tube only"wheels are different than a tubeless wheel.

Intend to run tunes if there's a question at all if it will leak. I've never had a problem running a tube but I've had problems w leaky beads and valve stems on tubeless setups.
