Rabbit Hole Tubless Torment...

Post by Escape Goat »

Who on here has successfully tubelessed a rabbit hole?

I was trying to make knards tubeless for the second time of their life, but on rabbit holes...

Then this happened https://www.flickr.com/gp/168440403@N04/k90eW2

Could it be the tyre just being dead....I would buy tyres if i knew it would work...

It does work but it’s a ball ache.
I’ve had chronicles on rabbit holes for a few years now.
Had to go down the split tube route, it’s been bomb proof since.

I've looked at the chronicles, but can't find a UK distributor that have them available. Just seams to be online.

Use split tube, its easy and reliable and the best way to tubeless RH's. Chronicles were discontinued last year sadly. Bonty XR2's/ Chupacabras are ace

I had to swap out my rabbit hole rims for Hugo rims to go tubeless with Knards.
It's not the tyres, it's the rims

I've had/got tubeless knards on rabbit holes with the split tube method. I used schwalbe tubes from crc. It can be a little fiddly changing tyres in the future but is do-able.

Same as above really I used the split tube method, worked with knards, dirt wizards and chronicles.

Thanks for the split tube trick!! I may give it a go, or order an xr2 and see if it seals. Managed to pop them on the rim, but as you can see from the video, it's leaky leaky.
