Itinerary description
A lot more road riding than I would have liked but there’s some tough, slippery rocky climbs.
Tubliss System failed so had to fit a new tube mid ride.

Hi Charlie. I use the Tubliss system too and find it amazing. What went wrong with it??? I don’t carry an inner tube round with me anymore since fitting the system. I have slime in the outer tube and a plug kit just in case, I also have a puncture repair kit. Don’t really want to carry much. Thanks for putting this ride up. We’ll do it this year sometime. John
Well after removing the system I noticed it was purely down to the shop that installed the system, they took a few shortcuts like putting the security nut on the inside of the rim and not applying any rim tape.
So when I removed the system it was torn to pieces because of the poor fitment. I will probably use the system again one day but I want to try mousses first before I go back :)
i use a mousse in the rear and a fatty tyre up front with a ultra heavy duty tube covered in mousse lube , works a treat .
i did try trellaborgs version of the tubliss and it was good , however i seemed to be slicing the front six days extreme when racing to now have the above setup with goldentyre fatty or the gibson equivalent .
