Why are the tyres so hard to fit to Lambretta tubeless rims?
Do twist 'n' tw@7 riders have the same problem? They've all got tubeless rims.

Autos have a deeper tyre well to ease tyre fitting, the Lambretta wheel is governed by the diameter of the stud positions restricting the ability to feature a deeper well.Muttley McLadd wrote:Why are the tyres so hard to fit to Lambretta tubeless rims?

You'd think, with so many people jumping on the bandwagon, that one of them would have come up with a one piece wheel/rim by now.soulsurfer wrote: Autos have a deeper tyre well to ease tyre fitting, the Lambretta wheel is governed by the diameter of the stud positions restricting the ability to feature a deeper well.

Yes indeed, I think cost is an issue here, although there is the PM one piece based on the Grimeca Zip 50 wheel. One day it may happen, DAC did an 11 inch wheel, but tyre size and speed rating is an issue as well as £650 I think.Muttley McLadd wrote:You'd think, with so many people jumping on the bandwagon, that one of them would have come up with a one piece wheel/rim by now.soulsurfer wrote: Autos have a deeper tyre well to ease tyre fitting, the Lambretta wheel is governed by the diameter of the stud positions restricting the ability to feature a deeper well.

Cheaper to buy one than a new set of rims every year or two like a few on here do.soulsurfer wrote: Yes indeed, I think cost is an issue here,
I can't see the cost being much different to that of an outboard disc brake. It's just a whole job, rather than half a one.

I've not seen one of those. But one piece, like a twist 'n' go. Or, all motorcycles that don't have spoked wheels.RICSPEED wrote:do you mean hub and rim one piece like the dactec ktm cutdown ???
