3.5" tubeless tires

[Burgerman]

I explained all this, and how to know, over and over! Look back, because the recopied links wont work now...

EG...

A 3.00 tyre is 3 inches tall, 3 inches wide.
A 3.50 tyre is 3.5 inch wide, 3.5 inches tall. Top, and bottom. In both cases you add the 8 inch wheel.

Metric tyres are different.

A 100/80 - 8 is:
100mm wide. (4 inches)
80% of 100 tall so 80mm tall top and bottom. (3.5 inches)

A 90/80 tyre is then...
90 wide or 3.75 inches
And 80% of 90 tall... OR about 78mm or 3 and 1/8 and a bit inches.

So this last tyre would be a little wider than a a 3.50 at 3.75. And the same height (tiny fraction bigger) as a stock 3.00 tyre.

And there are others. But ideally it needs a slightly wider rim. At around 2.75 inches. It will FIT your stock rim but will look narrower and be pinched in slightly.

Or 80/80 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/80-80-x-8-Bla ... 1674257970 is 3.15 wide and slightly smaller diameter than a 3.00 tyre...

Shirley - when your done with taking care of BM and Steve - looks like almost done -

something like this - but in a 8 inch rim for the 646se chair - 3.50 - 8 size ? 10 is nice also but maybe i should try 8 first keep it as easy simple as i can and hopefully can keep the fender in place

thanks

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/monkey-bike-wheels Remember that these are not tubeless. You need a 3 inch wide rim or 2.75 rim for 3.50 tyre.

Oh i though the whole thing about them was because there were tubeless rims and 8 inch - - do you know what my Stock Rim width size is ? its 8 inch - on a 3.00 x 8 tire - i believe its 14 x 3 tire -

[Burgerman]

Again? Its about 1.75 to 2.25 wide... If a rim unbolts in half its unlikely to work with tubeless tyres. Some do such as the hegar rims.

These are one bit alloy wheels. download/file.php?id=5940&mode=view

8 pages of wheels for your confusion! http://www.minibikecraze.co.uk/monkeybi ... ts/wheels/

[expresso]

ok - and the rims tires that shirley got you and steve are tubeless rims and tires ?

i was looking to get the rims also - not using my stock rims for tubeless tires -

shirely posted a link a while back - showing rims and tires for me in 8 inch rims with 3.50 8 tires - i though those were tubeless - now i cant find the same page link for the tires rims -

[Burgerman]

http://www.minibikecraze.co.uk/shop/whe ... less-2-5j/

These will do it. Shirley can get them much cheaper.

[expresso]

those look nice - so i need a 2.5 inch rim - those are tubeless ? 8 inch -

he linked to a set of rims and tires - i believed i saved that link - i guess not - cant find it now -

the rims were the same as he got you i believe - only 8 inch with nice looking street tires - i though it was a tubeless setup -


the reason i got interested was Shirley found nice looking rims - 8 inch size tubeless i believe- tires and the cost was cheap. and he can understand the page that i cant read and can get them etc, - the cost was good - and i figure i take a gamble with it and hopefully it works out - without spending too much for something that may not end up working for me -

[Burgerman]

I predict about 50 really long posts of utter confusion ahead!

[expresso]

its winter time - makes time go by faster this way

its really simple - i need to know first the rim size - as you said 2.5 inch is the size i need for the tire - shirley will find them easily over there - he can show me the rim he finds which he had already - i lost the link -

then i think it was a tubeless rim he found - with tires - thats all i need to know - i then have to see how i can get them mounted with adapter etc, - thats the harder part of all this - - given the cost he can get them for - i may take the gamble on it -

i felt better when i started the pack building than this tire thing -

i mean if its a tube rim and tire - i can do that now with the rims i have - no need to buy new ones - i can easily change the tire to a black tube tire - -and my rims are nice looking - black and Chrome - would be nice to use them with larger tires also -- and no need for anything to do on my end -

but the idea of a tubeless rim - and nice deeper looking dish rim - - is nice also - hopefully dosnt stick out too much thats the other concern -

[Burgerman]

Yes, its all about measurements, details. A 3.5 inch tyre has big sidewalls. So can go on skinny stock rims, from 1.75 inch stock, up to 3.5 inch wide. But the rim is then wider than the tyre. A 3 inch rim is wide and opens the tyre out and makes it bigger but isnt wider than the tyre. Putting a 3.5 tyre on stock rims squeezes it makes it narrow.

I lost count of the number of times I say these things. Nothing sticks!

This is a 180mm tyre on a too wide 200mm rim.

It opens out the tyre. Makes it wider.

Expresso needs to print out these threads and stick the papers all over his apartment walls! Then he'd remember what was said

Ok this i dont want - i dont want a tire to be streched out on the side like that -

i remember you said and shirley - etc, 3.50 tire fits fine on a stock rim also - fits better on the wider rim like you mentioned 2.5 inch rim - which is a bit larger wider rim over stock - but works fine -

i dont mind trying a 3.50 tire and 2.5 inch rim - - if i am going down this road - it should be a tubeless set up - or else i see no real reason to change my stock rims -
