Vintage Wheels
I plan to mount up an old set of Torq Thrust D's this week. Should these be run with tubes? I seem to remember these being tubeless back in the day, but also remember them being leakers. Any suggestions?

Re: Vintage Wheels
Bill..I put a set of 1966 vintage International Dragmasters on my 68 a couple of years ago. They only lose about 10 lbs setting in the garage all year. Not bad at all. Tubeless tires.

Re: Vintage Wheels
It's never easy!!!!!! I was warned about valve stems, any suggestions as to what to use? A standard stem does not work and while I have found some that will work I have a choice between a stem that looks like it belongs a on Honda Civic with 20" rims or a stem that looks like it belongs on a Kenworth truck. I know its getting a little nutty when you worry about what the valve stems look like............but that is the nature of my mental illness with these old junks

Re: Vintage Wheels
I've used rubber as well as metal stems on both sets of my TT's and had no problems. Ran them tubeless. Yeah, you gotta' check the tire pressure but you gotta' do that anyway. I don't recall any obvious leak/seep problems. Make sure the stem holes don't have any burrs or hairline stress cracks.

Re: Vintage Wheels
You should be able to get some normal looking bolt thru crome stems...

Re: Vintage Wheels
I'm guessing 14 x 6 TTDs on the front? Maybe 15 x 7s on the rear?
