Rode an enduro a couple weeks ago, and when I checked into a brutal rocky A section and waited for the start control flip, I noticed my front tire was almost flat. Being its a Tubliss install, I elected to ride the section and the next transfer to the gas stop. Bike handled OK being the tire was locked to the rim by the HP liner, as expected. All went as planned and I plugged a small cut at the gas in minutes and rode the second half with no drama. The system did its job, if I was running a tube I'd be done. Fast forward to tire change during the week. Found the LP fill stem that is part of the rimlock assy bent. I'm sure this happend pounding rocks for miles with a flat, where the sharp edge of a rock found the rimlock. Emailed Jeff Douglas @ NuTech for a price and availability of a rimlock assy as its not listed as a standard replacement part. Explained what I felt happened, that it was my abuse and no fault of the system. He thanked me for my feedback and had the part sent out to me 2 day Priority Mail, no charge! This is on a 2 year old system! I call it like I see it, good and bad, and this is a top notch product with excellent support.
