Tubeless tyres on the OEM Tube rim?

Could not find any posts on whether it's possible or even a bad idea to fit tubless tyres (with tubes) on our OEM tube rims.

 

So, does anyone have an opinion?

 

I was thinking of trying the tubless Avon Trekrider (which does not appear on this forum) as they would cost about £160 for a pair via National Bike Tyres

 

I've used Avon Trailriders on my ST 1200 and they were great.

This has been beat to death elsewhere on this site. No problem fitting a tube inside tubeless tires on this bike. The factory Pirelli's are rated tubeless.

I've run 2 sets of the Trekrider on my Super Tenere (tubeless) and really like them. They are not any better than the Pirelli's in mud/sand, but I find them better on gravel, and long wearing on pavement. Wanted to run another set on my ST, but couldn't get any supply in Canada, so went with Mitas E-07's. You shouldn't have any issues with the Trekriders on your T7.

What do people think of sealing the stock wheels and running a tubeless setup?

Certainly a big plus for a puncture on the road.

Picked up-a nail in the back tire today. Called a friend. He Brought a trailer. Considering the difficulty braking the bead on the stock  tire  once got it home ;am glad I didn’t have to fight with it on the side of the road. I own a bead breaker and have been doing my own tires for 30 years.

  Ordered 5 yds of 3m 60mm wide 4412n . Might not do the front. It,should be easier to replace or patch a tube with its lack of bead retaining lip on the rim.

    Friends are good. Good friends are priceless.

Did the spokes Sunday, silicone  Yesterday, Tape and mounted tire today. So far. So good.

 Turn an’ burn tomorrow if the air stays inside.

Update-   Got 40 miles on the tubeless set up. Works. I ground and smoothed up the spoke nipples. Roughed up the inside of the rim, and cleaned it with acetone  before taping.

    YMMV
