Question on tubes ?
Hello all
Ihave a 2011spoked wheeled GS which has the pressure sensors in each rim
On a recent trainging course they mettioned that you could use tubes inside the wheels if you have a flat which could not be pluged
Is this correct ?
And what sizes tube to get ?
And what are the best tyre lever set to use ?

I'm interested too, I've heard of people carrying one 18" tube that will work on either wheel? 2005 for me, but the same wheels, I think.

Bought the fancy Best Rest tire iron/bead breaker system, not used it yet, I intend to also use it to change tires at home, which I'll do a few times a year.

Nope, just install the tube.

Would the tube not rub against the sensor ?

Well, as long as it's not too sharp, and it's not like there should be any movement on that area, so it should be ok, and people do it, so seems to not be an issue.

Tube should be a temporary measure. TPMS will not work while tubes installed. Carrying a tube is easier than carrying a spare tire for a non-pluggable puncture/gash.

The TPMS sensor will not interfere with the tube as it must be removed to allow the Tubes valve stem to protrude through the Rim.
TPMS Sensor and Valve stem are integral.
