Tubeless bmx

LeonLikesToRock:
I got a pinch flat at the park the other day and it really fucked me off. Has anyone made a tubeless bmx rim or tyre yet? I know Alienation were trying it for racing but they seem to be a ghost town these days.

Option B. Has anyone converted 2.25 Rubens for tubeless using Stans? Will it give me an extra inch in length or girth?

JFax:
I havent seen anything being mass-produced yet. However, strong tyres, heavy duty tube and chalk between the tube and tyre would make the setup nearly non-punctureable if you keep it at high PSI.

LeonLikesToRock:
High PSI ain't hap'nen. Might have to try ghetto tubeless with a 12" tube or something.

BonerhasBent:
Alienation tried this a few years ago. I believe I either saw this system at Interbike or another system a few years back.

I think its a great idea, almost all MTB and even road bikes now are running tubeless. It makes a lot of sense IMO. BMX freestyle would be a little tricky because of the stress on the tire and having to inflate can be a hassle as well as having to pump your tires up on a regular basis. I don't know why BMX race doesn't have some supper supple thin tubeless tires for elite racing.

Louis:
Yet to try one of these, but you still need some stuff like a pump or walking to get air (if either are even an option)

& there's always the chance of doing the same thing since it's still a tube.
