    it's not advisable to use tubeless tyre on a rim designed for a tubed tyre, and combo of tubed and tubeless is also not advisable...

    and if you're in to changing tyre, go for MRF and dont go for TVS tyres, they suck BIG TIME.

    go for the size 90 or 100 with 70/80/90 profiles.

    ok, so if the sproaket was worn, you did the right thing.

            Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

              Hi Renny,

              I had converted stock TVS front tyre to Tubeless on the stock alloy after around 13,000 Kms . Had done more than 14,000Kms with it, but as it had become quite bald that very minute air leakage started from around centre-line of the tyre. As a precautionary measure I've fitted the tube back.
              According to all the tyre dealers, almost all tyres can be made tubeless as long as your bike has got alloy wheels. If the bike has got spoke rim, forget of thinking of tubeless tyre.

              This is just my own experience and views.
              Yes....

                  ha it can be done...
                  Satish cleared my doubt, and now you also have done more than 14000kms with it, so it kinda seals the thing ok.

                    Searched a lot for Tubeless Zapper-Q today. But all shop owners(MRF dealers) said they haven't seen Zapper-q yet and tubeless is not available for 18" wheel. Further, even disgusting thing is- one shopkeeper said MRF manufactured 18" tubeless, but there was issues of leakage. Thus, the product was not launched (After this statement, I as about to collapse out of heart attack).

                    Finally, Installed Dunlop Geo-Cruiser 100/80-18 for 1400 bucks today. That previous TVS tyre had started to skid on paint strip also. Though, this dunlop tyre looks wider, no noticeable drop in performance observed yet (Ridden only 8 kms). Grip is too good.

                          Friends, got my master cylinder changed because of that bloody air coming again and again to ruin the braking. Felling a lot of difference now in breaking. Done 10152 kms till date, bike polished today, new front mudguard is coming to replace the older break fluid victim, done clip-on adjustment as they were little misaligned, lubing and cleaning chain often, enjoying the freedom of riding.

                          sorry for the unfinished sort of language but wanted to write a lot but was not having enough energy to write at that time.

                          and emotionally speaking :-
                          thanks xbhp and my friends to give me a way of life. (Following a ride safety thread today, so got little emotions)

                              Geo crusier comes only in 100/90-19 AFAIK. But IMO Dunlop tyres always looks bigger than their actual size!

                                @nox2505&onlinesatish: The correct size of the GeoCruiser is 100/90/18"
                                It is a wonderful tyre, no doubt. This tyre lasts REALLY long-it has been doing duty on my bike since 30K kms.&surprisingly still no degradation!
                                No wonder it is back on the CBZ-Xtreme too!
