Classic alloys tubed?
« on: February 07, 2005, 12:52:52 »
Hi

I'm trying to fit a set of Colway 750R16 MT tubeless onto a set of standard Classic alloys...

Well I've 3 of my MT tyres put onto alloys.

The 4th won't inflate and the guy at the tyre place is saying its not
a tubeless alloy.

The part number is NRC7900.

I can't see any difference in the wheel to the others but was willing
to accept what he said as the other wheels have "tubeless" on them and
this one, to be fair, does not and the wheel does seem loose on the tyre compared to the others.

Can anybody confirm that some RRC alloys are in fact not tubeless?

I can't fit my MT with tubes as they are tubeless tyres and have
ribbing on the inside that chews up inner tubes. Ask me how I know!

May need to get hold of another alloy at this rate...

Cheers

I don't know for sure, but I thought they were all tubeless.

OK sorted.

Seems the NRC number I quoted is for the alloys fitted to the very first 4 doors and they are in fact tubed alloys.

Which explains why it won't inflate and also  means I now am on the look out for a couple of silver Classic alloys.

Out of interest.
Why are you fitting 750 crossply tyres

No if my memory serves me right 7.50 is the imperial size (inches) and crossply and 205 for e.g. (metric) is radial

Don't think that's right ;-)

The 'R' in the tyre size signifies it's a radial.

The 7.50 is an imperial size, but it doesn't mean the tyre is a Crossply.

Maybe right if they are now producing a radial tyre to crossply size its 15 years since I was in the tyre trade

Hi

Nope they are definitly radials. I checked with Colway before I bought them. It also says so on the tyre wall.

The thing is the size is a good one. It offers the best high vs width you can get for a Classic IMHO!
