Ask me about my B-1-D
does anyone know first hand : on my 1986 bmw airhead r80rt project bike - single sided monoshock rear swingarm - do the 2nd gen snowflake style cast wheels run tubes ? or can they go tubeless?

inquiring minds need to know !!!

These wheels?

Item #5 is a valve stem

Ask me about my B-1-D
those be them

previous gen snowflake style rims were tube only due to
a) porosity of the casting
b) geometry of the rim lacking tire retention feature if you get a flat

thanks for the confirmation !
