Just a thought, SIP now do a ally tubeless rim that is already wide and does'nt need a spacer ring. You can fit 110/120 or 130 wide tyres to it.

No worries matey, the rim matches the front one perfectly and the "off set " has already been taken car of. No more drilled out allen head bolts or wierd shaped wheel spacer either. The only thing you still need to do is cut 10mm off the engine mount.

I've ordered one after watching how "easy" it is to fit a tyre, we'll see how easy it is in reality when it shows, cheers again

Dont belive the hype i also watched the SIP and the ScootRS demo videos of how easy it is to fit tubless rims. I then went out and struggled for the next 25 minutes to get the first one of three scootRS rims on. Its a b@5t@rd of a job and you will need a good set of tyre irons and expect to scratch and chip those siney new rims...........i did. Funny but in the video the Asian kid does it in 45 seconds flat.

Yeah agree with you there, German vid looks easy also but doubt be like that when I get round to doing it. Got rim - do look good might even take to a tyre place to have fitted.
