Tubeless front spoke wheel?

[XSLeo]

I can remember in high school science class we did an experiment.We took a bucket full of water and spun it in a circle. As we spun the bucket the water stayed in place.The Centrifugal force was what held the water in the bucket.
Our arm was the centripetal force that keep the bucket spinning in a circle.
If these forces didn't exist, then how come the water stayed in the bucket and the bucket didn't just fly off?

Yes, olddude, the spoke nipples are at the hub and the hooked end of the spoke is at the rim.

As I understand it-- and I use "understand" loosely-- Centrifugal force is considered a fictitious force because it requires centripetal force for it to happen.

I think some of the 80's Yamaha Viragos had spoke type tubeless wheels.

Alpina wheels are tubeless....but expensive as hell.

i found a 3M marine product that i'll be using- i'll take some pics of process when i pull off tires on wheels this week...

The pressure in the tire pushes the liner against the spoke holes. It's the same pressure that keeps the tire on the rim bead. You just need a little glue to hold it in place before you put air in it. So you would have to be going really, really fast for that liner to pull away from the rim. Fast enough for everything else to fail before the liner on the rim covering the holes to fail.

My liner detached after hitting big pot hole on my hard tail chopper about 75mph yes i went a flying ... bent rim no crash

Bent rims almost always deflate tubeless tires no matter what they're on. Even without a liner.
