Looking for some feedback on this kit. How long have you used it ? How long did it take to learn to mount tires with it and how much tougher or easier is it ? How and if it does wear and is there any caveats with this system? Seriously looking into making a purchase . I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks.
It's NO lighter than a "regular" tube, I weighed them both...
As far as ride quality, seems great, can't say better than a tube though...but pinch flats are basically a thing of the past..and you can really air down to the pressure you want even if the track has rocks.
However, at 100 bucks (about) per end, and considering that I had zero weight loss, I do not feel it's any better of a system for mx.
For offroad, which I don't do, I think it would be great.
I didn't know the rear was flat, and raced the entire race.
I netted a second (50 y.o. pro) never knew it was flat until after the 45 minute GP
Highly recommend !
If you had weighed the bead lock along with the tube, you would be closer to the truth.
The performance advantage of the Nuetech system comes from the near elimination of flats of any kind, and the ability to access MUCH lower tire pressures.
Not only that...unlike mousse inserts, the Tubliss system does not get "beat down" over a few weekends of racing. You basically only buy 'em once.
Very low key, but it appears they are making inroads.

5-6 LBS. What a footprint !
The Shop
Raceguy do you have the actual weight of the Nuetech Versus say a bridgestone or equivelant tube.
If there was a considerable difference, the scale didn't measure it.
My biggest point is the site claims 2 pounds of weight savings...this couldn't be further from the truth for most people's set ups.
Like I said, for offroad...it's much better IMHO.
For me...I can't say I find any gains. This is my personal opinion, I spent 200 bucks...so the company had me convinced at time of purchase.
I would not repurchase.
