True story

I've seen many Sikaflex conversions through the years, and also experienced a guy here in Hermanus that would put polyurethane (his business is bakkie liners) on the rims. It all worked well. My comment earlier was just to put a warning out, or rather was just thinking aloud that insurance...

:ROFLMAO:

It is marketed internationally and seen as a professional design and a commercial product made to fullfill a certain function with registered trademarks etc. Obviously not in in the same class as "Frikkie gom Sixaflex op sy KTM se rims in sy garage nie" :ROFLMAO:

Tubliss is a professional designed product and will be seen as such a Sixaflex or similar home/backyard/garage jobbie is amateur and will be seen as such and treated/seen as wreckless. It is all good and fine, and nothing will probably happen.............until it does

This is just a repeat of many similar discussions on the forum through all the years.... Use the search function If you do an amateur invention/job and convert a tube rim to a tubeless system, and it fails catastrophically and end up being the root cause of an...

17 800 km on a 12 year old bike. I smell bullshit. Tell your friend to put his wallet back in his pocket and step away from the R1 ;) a Guy that is so passionate and will pimp a bike like this will also ride it. My bullshit/gut radar, tells me there is something suspect here

@Fransw Here is the interview:

a lot of these KTM's floating around. Insurance write-offs, then being rebuilt in the back yard and next week is on the market

Petri, I love you brother, but keep it real :ROFLMAO:

KTM 390 Adventure was selling for around R128 000 until recently. Would the expect the new model to come in at around R140 to 145 000 I would guess. Anything below this will be a bargain

Funny how people that does not own 701's always brings up this old story about the counter balancing shaft and how much the bike vibrates. ;) Ride the bike and stop dissecting the details If you are not Marc Coma, you will not know the difference

it looks like it is rubbing the frame, but it is not. The cable ties keeps it intact and away from the frame
