not all tyre is tubeless ... lah....

80/90 is pretty big....

2.50-2.75 is enough ...

if that thing dont work u have to change tyre which will cost u even more.....

Change to tubeless is a good investment. It may cost you some money but it will save you a lot of hassle in the future. Quite important if you must use your bike everyday to go to work.

Road are dangerous these days. There are people putting nails on the roadside to puncture motocycists tyres. These people usually make money from this. Offering roadside service and charge you extra for it.

go for tube :
when punture, lose air right away . can change tube . then can use again .

go for tubeless :
when punture, air slowly go out can ride more to find tyre shop. but everytime u punture ur tyre, the strengh lessen. it can hold as much air and time period like it used to. do remember tyre pressure changes according to temp.

after a few punture, then hv to change the whole tyre . i change tyre after two times punture.

yesterday i went to a shop nearby my house....
just making some survey on how much should i spend if i want to change to tubeless....
along the discussion....the mechanic there keep mentioning about using better rims for my bike...
just to ensure better quality and durability...
he keep mentioning a brand called as Racing Boy...
is this brand really good?

and this mechanic also calculated the estimated cost....
approx RM350 complete...

then when I started to leave the shop, another guy happen to be there, who has heard my conversation with the mechanic, advised me to go to Sentul, where I can get rims with cheaper price...
but I'm not that familiar with Sentul area....
is it true Sentul got a lot of spare parts shop?

please help....

thanks

Just need your humble opinion.

Went to a bike shop in PG, recently to quote cost of upgrading my Wave 100R's stock tires to tubeless.

Was told RM330 for 2 tubeless (forgot wat brand) and 2 all-white Racing Boy rims. Is it worth it?
