Excellent product, tubeless tyres are much needed in the Indian road conditions.
Complete proper video with explaination of the installation.
Kudos❤🔥
Tks! :)
Excellent video.. well defined n explained.. after getting through this video definitely I'll go for tubeless conversion kit
14:43... That line 😂😬
I was waiting for your and reaction and was excited to know, damn you caught me completely off guard...
That one liner explained it all 🤪
Those mirrors look dope👌👌👌😍😍
Excellent Video....
You have neatly explained each and every aspect and also ensured you drive your own bike on tarmac gravel...
Cheers....
Good this is very much needed ..
My friend is an Engineer at Chandigarh who charges just Rs. 4000/- and permanently seals the spoke wheels. If any minor balancing is required then that also he do self.
Also he is our Interceptor bikers group Admin and proud owner of Interceptor 650.
Thanks for sharing this info :)
Can you please share the contact of the person you mentioned. TIA
Bhai bhai. Much needed. I searched all the Google for tubeless conversion kit in Chandigarh but did not find any solution. Please share his number.
U should have also got the wheels balanced. The uneven sealant application would have certainly rendered the wheels unbalanced.
I haven't faced any stability issues while riding nor uneven wear and tear on the tyres. Nonetheless, I will get that done soon as my bike is due for second service. Thanks for your advice! :-)
Mani bro is always good
Bro u r great & thanks for your information
What if spokes come loose? how to tighten it?
You can try tightening it just like that. If the sealant gets tampered in the process, you may have to reapply.
What if in future if we wanna tight the spokes r if any spokes cut in the sense... wat can be done...
The thread locker pretty much prevents the spokes from loosening to a certain extent. If there's a major damage to the spokes, then I am afraid the sealant needs to be re-applied after fixing the spokes. Like I have said in the video, as long as the integrity of the rim is fine, the sealant will hold on.
Very detailed review bro. Subscribed
Till now it's still working ??
Yup
Good video 👍 I hope the wobbling at high speeds is reduced.
Good suspension setup is required to get rid of the wobbling..
You should have put new tires on it while you did that conversion?
Nope. I used the current ones. However, I recently changed to a set of new tyres. I will post an update soon.
any goop will work for a while, but if you want a permanent solution use Outex, or just outsource the components yourself. 3M 4411 or 12 tape, and 3M marine silicone to treat the spoke nipples before taping..
Noted! If this fails, I have no other option but use Outex.
Could u tell me where you got those mirrors and if it is a direct fit for the interceptor ?
Btw I am using FormulaX on my interceptor and it seems to do its job so far
Hey! Those are mirrors from Bajaj Avenger costing below something around 700 bucks. The chrome quality is way better than stock mirrors. The black ones are even cheaper. It's a DIY direct fit. Formula X is also a good option but if in a worst case scenario if it's a tube slit (a larger hole or a cut or a tear) then I guess it won't be so effective.
14:42 hilarious
Cool and clear 👍
Good content.. and it could pretty much be a voice over... u know what i mean..
Hi Everyone! Many of you must be wondering about the long term performance of this product. Honestly, I haven't touched my bike since June as I had to travel to my hometown for an emergency and I am yet to return to Chennai which is not going to happen for sometime. Hence, let me apologize for not uploading a follow up video on this. On a sidenote, my friends who have tried this product and using their bikes regularly have no complaints so far.
Update: So I finally got my bike back after 6 months. I have posted a video showcasing the offroad performance of the tubeless kit. Do watch it!
czcams.com/video/WcrNLa-Nlfo/video.html
Gujarat we have none so bit skeptical...
Hey man!
I recently got myself a BS6 Interceptor 650 and I'm thinking of going tubeless. I need to know a couple of things.
1. What tubeless tyre should I go for? I know I'll have to get rid of the Ceat tyres since they are tube-type tyres.
2. How often do you have to tighten the spokes/get a wheel alignment done? Also, if the Way2Speed kit is applied on the wheels, and I have to get the spokes adjusted, do I have to reset the Way2Speed kit?
3. How is it holding up so far?
Thanks in advance. :)
Hey! Sorry for such a delayed response.
1. It's totally subjective. If you ride really fast then I think you will have to go for timsuns, Pirellis or metzellers. These are difficult to procure given the import restrictions. I use Ralco speedblasters and they are a notch below the recommended speed ratings. Nonetheless, I don't ride beyond say 135kmph.
2. I haven't tightened it yet voluntarily however when I gave my bike for service at RE service centre, they tightened it out of ignorance. But no air loss problems yet.
3. Holding up well
Do you know that RE is launching 650 twins with alloy wheels? So hopefully tyres are also in the making. If you could wait a little more, perhaps you can switch to alloys.
How has this mod performed in the 1+ years?
No issues thus far....
Good job friend
Hello, can you please share your feedback, how is it going so far? I am thinking to install it on my gt
All well. Please get it installed by an experienced professional.
It's been a while, how's things holding up?
Because of the intermittent lockdowns, not able to ride much. Otherwise, all good.
excellent. name some garage in Bangalore
Thanks! I would advise you to get in touch with WAY2SPEED. Contact info is provided in the description.
Did you use the same tyres or bought a new set of tubeless tyres for this process . I am doing it so asking. I own continental gt
I used the same Pirelli tyres. It works only with tubeless and Pirellis which were the stock tyres back then were tubeless in nature. However, now twins come with CEAT tyres which are tube tyres. If your GT runs on CEAT, then this will be a costly affair.
Thanks man. Tube tyre was one of the reason that stopped me from buying this bike. Now, I'm reconsidering it. How is the seat comfort while touring? Is rusting issue annoying or could be prevented through better maintenance?
FYI, I am almost 6ft tall weighing 72kgs. And I use a GT touring seat which is good for max 100km at a stretch. If you want to do more at a stretch, then you may need to customize your seat for sure. Rusting is always an issue for any RE bike and you will have to live with it. I stay in Chennai (coastal city) which makes my bike more prone to rust. But then I ensure I clean my bike with a soft cloth every week. So far I have been able to keep the rust at bay! :)
Madhur Shankar lol 😂😂😂 really bro ?
rusting ?we have not seen any rust problems on the enfields we sold in the USA.
congrts bro....wheel alignment can be done after install it?
and is the strap necessary after coating ?
You can avoid the strap if you're not planning to do off-road. But I will advise you to put them on since it's already part of the package. The wheel is trued before application. I haven't balanced the wheel yet. I will do that once the pandemic situation relaxes a bit. As such, no wobbles felt so far.
Is it still doing good? I am also from Chennai and Melvin has referred mani for this job . Can I go ahead?
Sorry for the delayed response. I had to remove the sealant and reapply. However, I am in Bangalore now. Must say that they do it much better here. Mani does pretty good job too.
@@quikspin why did your reapply the sealant? You paid another 5.3k + labour cost ? Is it advisable to do or can I go ahead with Royal erado alloys or the OEM alloys?
Who does it in bangalore ?
A great video, indeed! But tell me, this works even with tube tires or we have to use tubeless tire?
Tks! Works only with tubeless tyres. :-)
@@quikspin I do not think any modern tire companies make tube only tires. The many different tire brands we sell for road bikes are all marked tubless but you can use them with tubes ,the companies say.
How is it holding up? Managed to balance the tyres?
It's holding up well. I haven't balanced the tyres.
After conversion kit is installed should be put on new tubeless tyres or old tyres will fit???
No problem in using the old tubeless tyres. However; it's advisable to do this when you're changing to a new set of tyres. By doing this, you won't be disturbing the setup for a relatively longer time.
Hi bro whether tis tubeless works without any issue I m having Himalayan bs6 bro reply
It has been working fine so far. I haven't faced any issues yet. Please make sure you follow the instructions correctly because method of application and time to cure the sealant matters too. Speak to the manufacturer for clarity.
After this exercise, can I use my same tyre(which is tube tyre) or do I need to get a new tubeless tyre?
Requires tubeless tyre. Doesn't work with tube tyres.
That's pretty neat, the only problem I think this conversion creates is that if any of your rim-spoke bends or breaks you won't be able to replace it. The only way to replace it would mean doing this entire process all over again for that specific rim.
Yes, as long as the integrity of the spoke rim is intact, this will hold well. Yet this is a more cost effective alternative compared to Outex.
What if we one spoke is damaged and we need to change it ,we should change the entire wheel set right?
Yes, the sealant needs to be removed in order to replace the damaged spoke.
Thanks for making a review video. I bumped upon this item and looking forward to buy it. Could you update your experience? How goes the performance regarding the air-loss, if any. Also will I get th 3 straps shown here?
Hey, thanks for watching! No complaints so far and air loss is just like the normal tube tyres (2-4psi max over ten days). I have so far ridden on only tarmac. I am looking forward to do some mild off-roading in the future.
Yes, you will get all the three straps in the kit. Please get in touch with Melwin (Way2speed). He will be happy to sort out your queries! :)
How is it running now??
All good!
Hi nice and informative video. I wanted to ask , is this recommend over outex kit ?
Thanks for your feedback. Both are good. Outex is more pricier while at the same time both Outex and Way2ubeless needs expertise in terms of application. However, Way2ubeless comes at half the cost and it has held up well for me. Ultimately what matters is how well Outex/Way2ubeless is applied so that it sits well in those rims.
@@quikspin thanks mate
Pardon me for my lack of understanding, how does one fix a tyre puncture on this tubeless tyre? I am assuming that the whole premise is that a puncture on a tubeless tyre could be fixed without having to separate the wheel from the rest of the bike. If not, I fail to understand the point of this tubeless conversion as long as you carry spare tubes without this conversion.
Hey! You got the premise right. I need not remove the wheel to fix the puncture. I just have to plug it with a puncture repair kit and continue riding. There's a clip between 11th and 12th minute where the mechanic is fixing the puncture. You can fix it the same way without removing the wheel. I hope this helps.
Did u re balance the wheel after the installation?
I had only trued the rims before application. I haven't balanced the wheel yet. I am planning to do soon after the pandemic situation relaxes a bit. As such, no wobbles experienced at high speeds.
Dude, it's been quite some time since you got this done. How's it holding up for you?
Holding well so far
Are these stock tyres or new tubeless tyres?
Stock tubeless tyres (Pirelli) which had run 8k already.
@@quikspin but my gt has ceat tyres
@@kunalmahar2604ok. They aren't tubeless tyres. Use them completely and perhaps when you're making the next tyre change you can think of getting a tubeless tyre in case you want to install Way2ubeless. Given the import ban, options for 18inch tubeless tyres are very limited. I may have to switch to Ralco speedblasters when it's time for me to change those Pirellis.
So after putting those straps. We don't need to put the tube inside the Tyre?. And now it behaves as a tubeless tyre ah? BTW is that the stock Tyre. Is the stock Tyre tubeless. Because I've heard that this bikes contains tubeless tyres but fitted with tubes...
Yes, no need of tubes anymore.
Stock tyres of 650 twins are tubeless tyres. Because of the spoke wheel setup they come with tubes inside. With the help of this kit, I converted the setup into tubeless retaining the spoke rims.
@@quikspin thanks for replying. I was searching for my next 650 cc segment. After going through many bikes from Benelli to Kawasaki to Honda. I've now finalised on Interceptor 650 . By getting Interceptor of course in going to save lots of money and also Royal Enfield is love...
Glad to know! I am sure that the bike won't disappoint you when it comes to performance. :-)
Can we use the tube with this? As in as second layer of protection?
Nope
available in Kolkata:
For classic reborn??
It's available throughout India. Please check with Way2Speed
What is the current condition of tubeless conversion......
All good...you can watch the subsequent videos I have posted.
Will there be any issue in warranty, if suppose we change the tube tyre into tubless under warranty period?
I don't think so. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects anyways.
Ok thanks.
How the performance now bro any issues are you facing
Haven't taken out my bike since lockdown was imposed in March....battery dead and very low air pressure. :)
Excelente trabajo
Muchas gracias! :-)
Can we do this to himalayan wheel? What's your thought?
Hey! Depends on the condition of the rims. I would advise you to consult with Melwin (Way2speed). :-)
Hows the conversion holding up now bro ?
Holding good. Time to switch to a new set of tyres. Will make a video on that soon.
How long the tubeless conversion kit will last??
As long as you don't disturb the structural integrity of the rim.
How has it stacked up ?
It's has held up well so far.
Its cartridge not catridge
Thanks, noted.
Bro do a video on long term review. Waiting
Long term review is sure to take some time bro. I haven't ridden much in the past few months.
Does the kit sustain for 1 year for you?
Yes, it is working well so far.
How it is performing after these many months?
Holding up pretty well!
Hi Bro nice video and way of explained, i have doubt that is while driving high speed or low speed u seen any difference or vobling on high speed after u installed tubeless kit. i have confusion formula x and tubeless kit.. i doing always long ride mixed with off road which one is good, could plz suggest.. mine also int650
Hey, thanks for watching! No issues so far. If you have the budget, go for the kit. Or else go for Formula X which is a cheaper and effective alternative for tiny punctures but not the bigger ones especially the 'slit' punctures.
@@quikspin thanks bro, so we can install tubeless kit, and one doubts after installed , if go high speed any vobling or some other issue will come ??
Front wheel wobble is common issue with interceptor. Fortunately I haven't experienced it on my inty so far. I felt no wobble at high speeds (max speed ridden upto 150kmph). In the video you can see me riding at 140kmph and it was stable. Nonetheless, if your bike is already having this issue then please get it checked before installing the kit. On a sidenote, wobbling can happen due to various reasons like the wheels may not be adequately trued, wheel balancing, tyre pressure etc..
@@quikspin true, i don't have any issue in my INT, thanks a lot bro ... U explained more
My pleasure! Ride safe :)
Brother the rim spokes will loose what will u do ... it's not successful.
The spoke nipples are locked with thread lockers (anabond) before applying the sealant. Hence the chances of the spokes loosening is low unless the motorcycle is ridden negligently. Even if the spokes become loose, you can tighten the spokes again and re-apply the sealant corresponding to the loose spoke inside the rim (in case if there is any air leakage). This is what I understood from the manufacturer.
Can add puncher proof liquid?????
Nope. I had already discussed this with Way2speed and they said they will be launching their own sometime in the future which won't mess with the tubeless sealant application inside. Till then it's advisable to carry a puncture repair kit. :)
Is this Working fine , with no any issue , pls confirm
I am currently out of station since June and hence I haven't touched my bike since then. As long as I have ridden, I didn't come across any issue. Anyways, now I am sure a lot of problems to come up when I go back to take my bike. I will make a video and put it here once I get hold of my bike.
What's after one year time period?
All good....please watch my subsequent videos. Thanks!
Hi. How much did it cost. Is it still working well now?
I am not sure if the price has increased now. I have shared all the expenses in the video. And yes, it is working well.
@@quikspin Thanks. I enquired about the price. It's 5300 now. Good to know it's working well
tubes are provided by way2speed inside the box?
That's what Way2Speed says...
@@quikspin I mean type tube.
Forgive me, I didn't quite get your question. Are you referring to the straps (cut out from tubes) which is secured around the sealant? If so, yes. They will be provided in the package. Nonetheless, please confirm beforehand.
@@quikspin okey, Thank you for answering. All the best. And how is the performance after converting into tubeless?? Are there any problems?? If there plz share.
It has been more than a year since the installation and I have hardly faced anything significant. More than the product performance, the application needs careful monitoring. In case I face anything serious, I will put up a video update. Tks!
Can we do it for Jawa 42 bike?
Yes, you can. Just make sure you put on the tubeless tyres and not the tube tyres.
Hey any updates on this?
It's working fine.
@@quikspin great! I was thinking of getting it done but I'm worried that in about 10-12k km the tyres might start losing pressure
Perhaps. I have ridden only 5k so far but it has definitely stood the test of time. I still have another 3-4k on my tyres before I change it to a set of new ones. I will post that update if I do. Cheers!
@@quikspin great! That would be awesome..
There is this process called as cualking, which is done to seal window gaps for insulation during winters in cold countries. Unfortunately, this has to repeated every winter, because caulk starts to weather and break down. This conversion kit is nothing but two caulk tube with the gun, which hardly cost a few dollars in home depot. The blue thread lock liquid too hardy costs a few bucks and don't usually last long. I am sorry to point this out, but i think this whole product is too over priced for it is actual worth and looks to me like a ticking time bomb sold to unsuspecting customers.
Thanks for the info. This is not caulk but sealant. The difference being the elasticity. Caulk is rigid when dry but sealant holds better during expansion and contraction. Nonetheless, I haven't come across any issues so far. But if I do, I will put up a video. Meanwhile, I do regularly check the rims.
@@quikspin The term Caulk is actually a misnomer, it is not caulk, as in the material used for writing. Modern caulk is actually a synthetic polymer(acrylic latex, silicone, polyurethane or rubber) sealant which looks exactly the same(Personal experience of living in Canada for years). Please search for Caulking windows on youtube/google.
Thanks, noted.
Totally, you said. It's just another silicone window sealant which costs about Rs. 300 repackaged and sold as spoke sealant for an outrageous 5000. What a ripoff. If something fails while doing speeds whome to blame? I would rather use a purpose made item like Outex tape as money is not a constraint. And if I do cut corners I will get 3m marine sealant 5200 and 4412 tape.
Any contacts in mumbai to convert tubeless?
Please get in touch with WAY2SPEED. Contact is in the description. They should guide you.
Cost ?
Cost was Rs 4999/- + installation is extra. Not sure how much it is now.
Where did u to buy that mirror? Online?
It's from Bajaj Avenger. Available at their authorized service center costing less than Rs700. It's a direct fit.
@@quikspin oh super bro, thanks for the info
.... where can we get it installed in New Delhi, for RE Bullet X ES BS 6... pls forward the service centre location & contact numbers
Please contact WAY2SPEED. All details given in the description.
What is the purpose of the 3 rubber bands? They don't provide sealing more than the butyl polymer caulk,
and they add moment of inertia to the wheels - reducing acceleration, increasing stopping distance -
and they increase unsprung weight, which makes the wheels less able to follow bumpy road surfaces..
Hi Dave! Thanks for your insights and yes I may have to agree with you on this although I never came across a situation where I felt the bike was unstable. Maybe because I haven't pushed my bike harder (I haven't ridden it beyond 140KMPH).
Those bands were provided to hold the sealant in place. But more than that it gave me some kind of sense of security (as I was an early customer back then). Ofcourse, the law of physics never struck me.
My current Pirellis have almost reached the end of their life cycle (16500Kms) and I am switching to a new set of tyres. And as you mentioned, they don't provide these anymore. I will remove them when I get the new tyres fitted. The sealant holds pretty well without them is what I have been led to believe.
Price pls
Rs 4999/-
I can bet it is repackaged bathroom silicone, cost £2 per tube.
I got to 5:09 and was proven right. Butyl sealant, the same product you use to seal you shower cubicle. Cost £2 per tube.
Thank you. I am aware of this and I have had an extensive chat with the seller. They say it's a specifically formulated compound which is thoroughly tested. Although I haven't ridden much this year, my friends who are using it are pretty much happy with the product.
Any garage in mumbai who will help with product and installing
Please get in touch with Way2speed. They should help you.
The way2tubeless kit is such a scam man.. They are just rebranding silicon glue sold for aquarium... The aquarium glue is sold for 160-200/- per tube
This layer is too thin...
It's thick enough...the material is quite strong and flexible.
too costly, too much work & not even u can keep your hopes up
It's a personal choice. To each their own. :)
