Easy, toss the tube away and fit a tubeless valve stem (TR415) put the tyre back on and hey presto, no more flats from holes being rubbed in tubes. Be aware that from an insurance point of view there may be implications legally if the vehicle is involved in an accident and it can be proved that running a tubed rim tubeless caused or contributed to the accident - I have never heard of one though. I have been doing this for over 30 years and have never had a problem yet!Quote:
