I don't have that fancy wheels but they're still tube-type, never had any trouble using tubeless tyres with them, but I have been thinking is there really a safety issue or not with the tyre coming away from the rim when deflated :-\ On the other hand if I am thinking security then 50-something Volkswagen is not safe and never experienced a puncture with Beetle ;) Title: Re: inner tubes for 5 spoke empis Post by: Dave Galassi on January 21, 2008, 15:31:04 pm Danny, if you can't find it locally, Tucker Tire in Covina has different sizes and is well versed. Any good tire shop should have a line on that.

I would'nt want to have a flat tire on non safety bead wheel... |
