Hi Dave,
I believe that running tubeless tires on a TD is an automatic fail on the
NEMGTR Safety Fast check. The rim definitely does not provide
enough of a lip to hold a tubeless tire. You can probably go for a long
time though without a problem but just let the pressure fall a bit, hit a
curve a little fast and off comes the tire.
Another NEMGTR member, Steve Neal (1950 YA), was telling me Saturday night that
there is a place in CA. (not British Wire Wheel) that will "modify" a wheel
to allow use of tubeless tires. He is planning on doing that for his TF.
Let me know and I'll try to find out from him the name of the company, etc.
I would think that a TD wheel being just a standard wheel, not wire, should
be easily balanced by any tire place.
Regards,
