Small (around 165mm) tires that will stretch to 65mm?

Any updates on this?

His race board still isnā€™t finished :grimacing:

Yeah but I figured Iā€™d ask about the wheels cause that setup sounds perfect for my needs.

Right I donā€™t believe @Shadowfax has tried the tire combo either.

Welp Iā€™ll just have to see. I might just have to em him every week or so till he tries it lol

I ended up using the 165mm tubes I had on hand. They seem to be fine like that.

After I got these mounted on the Pentagrams, I had them lined up on the sofa and their fatness inspired me to grab my phone and shoot a bit of footage and waste some time on a silly video:

It has the vibe of a Steven Seagal movie :grin:

I kept waiting for them to skrrrrt away

Also mildly entertaining (at least to me)ā€¦ From the fattest small tires to the smallest motors with the biggest tires. These are 10" tires with Maytech 6355s on my 4WD mountainboard.

I doubt Iā€™ll be back in California before September to assemble my race board and test out all the choices I have committed to.

It looks like @2xbass has beat me to the punch, and is the first to test the linnpower tubeless race tire with tubes in the newbee pentagrams.

@2xbass Looks like you have the newer/wider v2 pentagrams. Is that right?

@Shadowfax yes I have them on but it will be a little while until that build is completed so I havenā€™t actually ridden on them yet.

32

What tubes are you using?

33

Iā€™m using 165mm tubes that I got with Trampa Treads

34

I am assuming they would be hell to change often if you lived where they have goathead thorns?

35

Probably yeah lol I wouldnā€™t ride them Offroad.

You could probably utilize tire slime well in them tho
