Where to find ah?

Currently there are kits to enable tubeless tyres to be fitted on tubed rims - basically spoke plugs and silicone sealant or strip, which I think isn't that much different from the popular bodge of smearing windscreen silicone along the center of the rim. Are any of these methods reliable? Will the silicone eventually come off the rim?

Having a flat tyre from a leak in the silicone is the absolute worst coz you can't fix it on the side of the road with the usual flat tyre kit (cacing & mini electric pump).

The rim which is already tubeless would make a better choice IMHO instead of converting a standard tubed rim. Good thing is, it is 17 inch so the smaller diameter should lead to better handling. Next question is the price.

Yeah, they just launched the facelifted sport rim version here a short while back. Haven't had the chance to go see it yet. I like the new colour schemes though. Did you manage to get a look at the new 650 bikes?

i'm on one of the tubeless conversion.
user posted image

now on my 3rd set of tyre.
the tubeless conversion holds air better than using tube.
i just did it myself using polyurethane windshield sealant which is a lot stronger than silicone sealant.
guides are all over the internet and really popular with african twins and bmw f800gs.

local workshops usually charge RM500-RM1.5k for each wheel. 0-6 month warranty.
official SCs charge RM2k-2.5k for each wheel. usually with 2 years warranty.

i did it myself and cost me RM25. no warranty.
oh you can actually fix small leak using silicone, contact patch, or duct tape. emergency fix.

I've tested all their bikes already...just go kacau kacau a bit. Really like the new Conti GT. SADLY, they didn't update the meters. I like the new switches and the USB port tho and LED lights PLUS the alloys! Finally!

10am to 7pm but I doubt they'll allow test rides up to so late
