Picked up a nail on the way home. Do the sf tires run tubes?

 

Yes, they run tube, indeed. Which sucks, by the way.
I've got a flat last week. It's the second time it happened.

 

it runs a tube?...shoot...i bought tubeless tires...does that mean it won't work?...do you replace the tube when you replace the tire as a precaution?...

 

Well that blows! I still have yet to get a flat tire in 15,000 miles in all of the riding I have done. Even in Volcanic rock with max air in the tires I just bounced off and kept going.

 

Running tubeless tires with tubes on a bike like the SF won't hurt anything. Considering the price of a tube and the hassle of dealing with changing tires, I always installed a new tube in a new tire...unless...you're dealing with relatively new tires and tubes that you're just changing for a different tire.

 

i'll be running 150/70-17 on my rear tire change soon...shoot...maybe i should buy a new tube as a precaution...

 

Later this evening I'm gonna get a text... "I got a flat"

 

tubeless tires on spoked wheels? how do you plan to seal the nipple holes?

 

Pulled the nail out was about 4 1/2" long. Went through both sides of the tube and bent when it hit inside of the rim. Lucky I was less than a mile from home so I just took it easy on the flat.

 

It'll be his own fault! He said it...
