paz Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not long and it does not make a difference anyway, because you are legal to drive it and insured as well.\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) need to see markings to possibly tell which profile is it. Don't know if these markings help! Edited February 16, 2014 by mallymal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 you cant ride night time with a red plate officially. they have to give you a normal one as soon as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 need to see markings to possibly tell which profile is it. Don't know if these markings help! J profile is OK for tubeless. For extra safety check the rim with the tire off, the side bead should be like 10mm deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks Paz. I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just best to stick with a tube (so at least if ever I get a puncture a local shop can repair it!) I saw a bicycle shop selling Slime - I've used this with great effect on mountain bike tyres - maybe I should just go for a tube plus Slime instead?!

paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You can fit a tube anway in case you puncture a tubeless. And then if you want, have the tire repared properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 That's a good point! When you said J profile is OK - is it borderline and only worth considering if side bead is 10mm deep, or that goes for all tubeless tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 One can't be sure without seeing it, and I never did. What one wants is the deep side bead, and safety hump. I think your rims are so made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't see the safety hump but the bead is tall and should seal just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok I'm officially stupid! I deflated the tyre when I got home and put dynabeads in. When I re-flated the tyre isn't sitting right and if I press on a certain area it leaks air. I've just deflated again - any tips for seating the tyre correctly - at least so I can limp it back to the garage tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well, you would need tire lubricant (even if most shops use soaped water), and a large compressor. Try tightening a rope around the circumference, that is much easier said than done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Think it's gonna be easier to remove front wheel and take to shop tomorrow! From what I can see should be as simple as undoing the bolt and sliding out?! Think I owe Paz a beer or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah. You don't owe me anything, get it right and let us know. Edited February 17, 2014 by paz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like I need a 14 and 19mm socket to take front wheel off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Man you just need the socket that is right! You need a toolbox not a forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Had to go borrow individual spanners, but I guessed right. Should be interesting tomorrow trying to explain I have dynabeads in there that I'm keen to keep inside the wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallymal Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Had the new tyres on for a couple of weeks now, they feel a lot more planted and grippy compared to stock IRC's, so I'm happy. A word about dynabeads though, they do like to get stuck in the valve, meaning after pumping up tyres all the air leaks out fast if you're not careful! I heard they also sell valve filters, but I haven't researched this yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
