New Jersey sr500 tracker/scrambler

So I'm basically a pro at removing and installing the tires... I am a pro at patching them also because I pinch the tube every time... I tried with little air no air and a little more air it's just not happening I'll be bringing them to a shop this Monday :( I will be investing in tubeless rims next winter ;D and I'll probably be buying new tunes when the shop sees mine they are gonna have a good laugh :-\

Some shots of my new work space and my neighbors ride sorry not much of an update

I was gonna say something, but I didn't want to seem like I was rubbing it in or anything. But, I pinched two tubes and that was enough for me. $25 and installed no problem. Worth every penny.

It's all good,I am just worried about what they are going to charge... I been looking for smaller shops and I'm gonna call a few Monday to get prices I need balancing and either patch or tubes
 
Yeah personally I get a shop to sort out my wheels. I weigh it up as how much is my time worth.
 
By the way - your rims differ from tubeless ones only with the valve hole. You just need to drill out the valve hole to allow fitment of a tubeless valve.


Yes - I know they say "tubeless only" on them but they are the same as tubeless except for the valve stem.

NJ go for it! if you haven't gone to the tires shopping yet, then get some valve stems (instead of more tubes) and forget about tubes.

I think it's worth the effort, less rotational mass, easier to brake turn and accelerate, and even you get a better contacting tire on the ground, more able to copy the tarmac.

I've done this on my GN125 mag wheels, just bought the valve stems (no drilling), mounted them and inflated. Ready.

Custom rewinds in the US, did you test it already the procedure is in the manual... The dude has quick turnarounds and did a great job!!

Thanks for the response...yes it tests out okay, however the bike sat outside for many years and I'm playing it safe by either replacing or rebuilding all the electrics. Thanks again.

I hope you have JIS driver tips. A good tip is to use the 1/4 impact and go tighter for just a hit or two then loose. I would tear that all down as much as you can and get it clean.

It was cleaned and made brand new by custom rewind that's a pic of the bike when I first got it and was figuring out why it wouldn't run
