Hi guys, so I run now since 6000km with tubes inside my tires..

Had a flat in Mongolia and was very very happy to have tubes inside. The tube only had a small hole, but the tire had a 3 cm cut! Guys with a truck glued a piece of rubber inside, and I have done approx 4000km since, perfect...

By the way, what kind of tires can we put on those rims? Can we put tires that are meant to run with tubes or not?
And I have 130-17, can we put 140 or it touches the swingarm?

Not easy to find a 17 inch and 130 in central asia, I asked in Almaty.. but only 140.. chinese tire... ended up not buying it.

I'm not sure I will make it to the end with this one, it suffered quite a lot in mongolia...

At least the knobbies on the right side will scrape against the swing arm. But these you can just razor off with a sharp knife.

The proper solution would be to insert a spacer, but the might not be necessary.

Hi Zimi,
