Anybody racing hog hill today?
I am heading out from Clapton around 12.
Also I have been thinking. Could I run a tubeless tyre with a latex inner and get the benefits of both combined?
I rolled my tubeless front tyre during training Tuesday. I only had an latex inner tube so I put that in. All the latex sealant was still in the tyre but I had to get on with training so I couldn't do anything about it.
Wednesday after work I took out the tube to set the wheel up as tubeless again. The tyre seamed to have resealed with the latex inner inside.
This got me thinking
If I could get the valve hole airtight. Could I then combine the two. Essentially get low pressure and sealant protection. If I roll the tyres it won't burp out air and if I get a pinchflat, air will stay inside the tyres.
Also, which mud specific tubeless tyre should I choose? I would not mind a thread pattern close to Limus, which I have had as a tubular tyre before, and loved.
