It’s easy to do , if you buy the official kits it will cost around £45 per pole , I make my own up and it costs me around £5 per pole . Just look at how it’s done then buy the bungs to reduce the pole internal diameter to pole hose size , I buy fittings from a farm pump supply shop where I live and it takes about 15 muinits to doWhats the pros and cons of converting my poles to tubeless and how hard/expensive is it to do & where is the best place to get the bits?
Totally agree those ejector sleeves are great but far too brittle. They need to be a different plastic. I've found wrapping a bit of gorilla tape round them makes them last much longer.The pros are no mess in your van, with all the pole hoses hanging around, they are very easy to fit.
The cons are as i see it . the ejector sleeve seems to break to easy for my liking.
Got all my bits from Exceed innovations but im sure there are other sources.
Couls i be cheeky and ask you to post a cpl of picsNo, because they need to fit precisely on the rectus fitting and up inside the pole.
I make up my own with a John guest pipe insert, a wrap of electrical tape, a handily sized washer and a few inches of 1/2 hose.
Lol what are you doing with them I have them on ten hose reels and have only ever replaced one as a member of staff drove over it , we have still got and use the original ones from when they were releasedAgree with Cleanteam south west, easy enough to fit and do a great job of keeping the van tidy but the plastic ejector sleeves do seem quite brittle, had to replace mine a couple times already and due another change as its cracked again, be much better if they were made of more robust material.
Here you are bud this thread has one way of doing it, there's a couple of ways of doing it aswell as using the exceed kit which I did originally.Whats the pros and cons of converting my poles to tubeless and how hard/expensive is it to do & where is the best place to get the bits?
