Wicked alternative to buying new rims for our bikes to make them capable of having tubeless tires. A Facebook reader of ours Tom, posted this idea. Tom had this done to his brand new Triumph Tiger 800 down in his home country of the Phillipeans. I asked Tom to keep me updated how this holds up. So, far 150 KM’s no problems. I am curious if this will hold and if his tires will leak…we shall see….in the mean time…have a look and tell us what you think? YEAH or NAY??? I have included pics from Tom’s install.

Maintaining Clutch, Brake, Throttle Controls, and Cables
Aug 26, 2012 by RoadRUNNER
Most motorcycles use cables to connect the twist grip to the carb(s) or throttle bodies; many also use cables for the clutch, cold-start control, and even brakes. Servicing these critical components is fairly simple and prevents problems later. Maintenance intervals vary, and bikes ridden in dust, sand, or mud need extra maintenance.
