    Question Tubes in Dunlop Q3's

    Just got a 2001 KTM Duke II and bought a set of Q3's for it. Rims have spokes so I need tubes, but do not know if they will work, asked around and getting different answers.
    Some say no problem, others say the tubes will heat up and might blow and they are a bitch to put in.
    Anyone been, there done that?

    You can Run tubless as some Sumos tend to do....They run silicone on the inside nipples or use some special 3M tape also. Or just run Tubes as MY WR450 has them with no issues at all

    My ktm came with tubes. I bought tubeless wheels eventually.
    HDs run tubes. They dont blow and they weigh 4x as much.
