Avoid tubes :roll:
cant see any reason to use them*

and for the raid definatley gone out of fashon with the desert traveller.

when you get a thorn or running reduced pressure a tube will deflate catastrophically wheras a tubless will deflate slowly, thorn dammage can be fixed in situ with tyre on rim using a plug system so the track side repair isnt an issue anymore

only had one puncture the whole Morrocco trip using old italian made firestones.

*4x4 trials when you can get grass and the likes in the rim due to extreme forces

Like this. Yes tubes no good but plenty of A models here are running with tubes and I wonder how the water can be kept away from the valve

something like punctureseal is a good product for preventing or at least slowing punctures down, it works i have used it on scooters and its saved my arse at 60 mph before. www.punctureseal.co.uk .
As for preventing the ingress of water i'm not sure, maybe an 'o' ring or some silicone sealant?
