100/90 rear tyre.

[10 inch Terror]

Evening all, I have just fitted a Michelin S1 100/90 to a scootrs tubeless rim and it's rubbing on the engine case, this did'nt happen with the wide rim i had before. Will this be the case with every tubeless rim or is it just an issue with the scootrs ones? I want to stick with tubeless rims and the 100/90 tyre combo. Any advice or comments very welcome. Thanks Pete

MB do a washer Pete that slightly brings it off the casing...i had the problem with wide rim and just lightly smooth the inside of the casing..not that im saying you should do that..

I already have the MB washer fitted and it's still rubbing. It never done it with the wide rim I had fitted before, it's only a problem with the scootrs tubeless.

A standard rim width is 2.1" whereas a ShiteRS tubeless rim is 2.5", dunno what a "wide" rim is, but a SIP tubeless rim is also 2.1"

I run a Schwalbe Raceman 100/90 on a ScootRS tubeless, and have no problems with clearance.

They do a few bits that are good, and I still buy rubbers & runners, GS glovebox (which ain't great, but serves a purpose) and kickstarts, usually through a UK supplier though, but I do think their rims are shite, and their attitude to safety and liability stinks.
