Are these wheels pourous?

(1/4) > >>

Gusable:






85 cal2. Dude has a tube in the rear. The schmuttz on rim maybe caused a slow leak or are these wheels porous?  I’d rather clean them up and run no tubes. Your thoughts?

Gusable:
And it’s looking like the 8.3mm metal valve stems are impossible to find locally. Looks like special order.

bigbikerrick:
I made those wheels tubeless on my Cal II, never found them to be porous, in my case.

My 86 Cal 2 has had tubes since new, don't need to try anything new. I don't mind tubes..

BMCMOTO:
If they are marked MT somewhere on the wheel they are tubeless. Those don't appear to have the tubeless profile which includes a small hump near the edge of the bead seating area. That being said, Guzzisti have been running that wheel tubeless for decades. There are many threaded tubeless valves that will fit and the hole can be drilled if need be. If you are wanting to run those wheels tubeless I would suggest cleaning all of the corrosion off the seating area and coating with a sealing paint or automotive clearcoat.
