Solar eBike - Converting Fat Tires to Split-Tube Tubeless

in #dtube5 years ago


I've been having a lot of issues with flat tires while riding around on my Fat Tire Solar eBike in the Southwest United States, and have been experimenting with ways to solve the problem. In this video I demonstrate how I converted my tires to a tubeless puncture resistant setup, despite the fact that my rims are not tubeless ready, by cutting open a tube to be used as a rim liner.

Both tires are holding air and I look forward to riding around in the mountains here next week to see how well they hold up on the rough thorny trails.

Dude, Cahlen, you might like this guy! His name is Cory and I met him in Portland 3 years ago. He built his own Pneumatic Bike. I remember buying one of his patches he was selling to help fund his bike project.

That's a really cool project! I wonder how much more efficiency is possible there. At the moment he's going less than two miles on a full tank, while I can probably get 100 miles on a full battery. It would be better to rely on air than lithium though.

What kind of nice airpump is that ?? You did not say a word about this...lol.... Is this charged up via USB ??

Haha, ya I just kinda snuck it in there huh? It's a 12v pump, so it can be charged in any car, and I can charge it off of the Solar eBike battery using a converter I have.

Did you edit this all on the Kinemaster app on Android ? Can it already process already 4K movies also ?

Ya, all on Kinemaster. I only do 1080p videos, but I'm pretty sure it can't do 4k.

Hi Cahlen, did you yet find any video stabilisation software on Android that can also work with 4K Files or at least 1080p videos and can manage to stabilize them okay ?
There is a new video editor OneCut, it can import 4K Videos, but can only output 720p in this moment, but it has some Anti-Shake Filter integrated...but could be still better...well... hope you are doing good. Regards, Stefan.
