Hello from São Paulo - Brazil

Hello, I’m Ivan from Brazil,

I’m passionate about the Big Trails but unfortunately I don’t have them because in the city where I live the theft rate is very high and, consequently, so is the price of insurance.

I intend to take long trips throughout South America and to have more peace of mind in relation to the extremely frequent robberies, I have just bought ta Boneville T120 Black 2024, equipped it with Givi boxes and head out to the borders of Paraguay and Argentina.

My main concern at the moment is in relation to tires with tubes because when driving in inhospitable places I’m sure that without tubes they would be safer, so I’m researching wheel adaptation and it seems that the Outex tubeless kit could be a solution.

Best regards

Hi and welcome. What a pity not being able to feel safe! All my bikes are tubeless, so can’t help you there, I’m afraid. Lovely bike though!

Hello and welcome… there are arguments for and against tube tires for the distance traveler… usually, the harder the “off-road” element of the ride, the more likely tubes would suit… at least that’s what I recall! I’ve fixed tubeless at the roadside… I only fixed tubes at home, when I were a lad… so not for many years
