    Hi all

    I have a front ZTR Flow rim that i would like to use with a tube.

    Do i remove the yellow rim tape and just run it with no rim tape at all if i want to use it with a tube?

    Thanks

    You can run it with the yellow rim tape, or you can take it out and install a normal rim strip. Don’t run it without though.

    As above – tube on yellow is fine. Flows still have normal spoke holes under the yellow tape.

    I have tubes in mine with yellow tape. It seems like a bonus that when I puncture they still hold the air for a while (so far).

    You got sealant in there too? Or magic?

    Thanks for the replies – much appreciated.

    Has anyone ever had any problems with the tyres not sitting properly on a flow rim or worse still, coming off.

    I only ask because the wall is really shallow and it just got me thinking.

    Ok, by a while I meant about 5 minutes. The tyres were ‘tubeless ready’ though, so that probably helped.

    never had any problem with tyres not sitting properly, only had mine a few months though.

    I run Flows with tubes. Just be careful with the pressures – you can’t have them too high or the tyres pop off. Check rim or Stans site for exact guidance.

    Still run my 355s with tubes and have done for 2 years+…never had a problem and can’t see why you would with a Flow

    It does happen, had it myself- the air leaks from the tube but then has to leak out of the tyre/rim as well. The valve’s not airtight but it slows the leak. Nothing magic about it.
