Vic,
I never had tubes on the 4 Redlines on the ground, but I did seem to have to
keep a watch on the preasure. I did finally get a tube to put in the redline
in the trunk, which kept it from going flat. I'm not sure if it's the tire
rubber or the wheel that seemed to cause the slow leak. It wasn't that bad,
but I had not checked the spare until I found it to be flat. Otherwise I had
no problem running tubeless.

Jim,
Thanks for the response. I thought I had remembered some listers running
w/o tubes. I have the same inflation / leak issue with the tubes installed,
so it must be the tires. I have a late model Sportster Custom with a solid
rear wheel (no leaks) and a tubed spoker in the front which I have to keep an
eye on as well. I think I'll just start shopping for a decent set of slightly
used, or new, Redlines and install them w/o tubes. I'm getting tired of flats
(3 this season so far), but it goes in spurts. The last one was 5 years ago.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Vic Snively
