Rootek Tuff tubeless

[Stratf01]

I've read a few good comments here about this rootek tuff tubeless setup.

Can anyone confirm the longevity of this system?

I'd be reluctant to have to change the thing after a few weeks.

Thanks

This is the one I'm on about:

Tuff Tubeless System for Gardiner Poles Univalve Compatible hoseless wfp window | eBay

Compatible with Univalve. Works with all goosenecks including the new Gardiner 'water through' gooseneck and the Gardiner Gooseneck valve. This is also the first Tubeless solution that has a coupler slim enough to fit into section 1 of a Gardiner pole, and therefore there is no need to use a...

We tested them before they were released they are still going strong now , not sure how long ago that was but @Skxawng will remember, I would thoroughly recommend them

I've been using the @Skxawng tubless system for over 18 months and although I don't work as hard as lots on here I do swap poles multiple times a day. The system works very well for me and the only issue I had was a rectus 21 needed a bit of wd40 but that's not the tubless system's fault just a rectus issue.
If you didn't know the maker is part of the forum. I think there is also a forum discount code if you have a search.

Hi, I'm still using my original prototype which is almost 2 years old now and still have zero problems with it. I disconnect it regularly which I think keeps the rectus coupler in good condition.
The only real problems with wear and tear so far are usually down to it being fitted incorrectly and the coupler sticking out the end of the pole and wearing out. If fitted correctly, the coupler is safe inside the base of the pole.

I've been using the Rootek setup for at least over a year and it's been great. Just purchased it again for a new pole. I like to check from time to time if there's anything new on Rootek Designs as he comes up with clever things.

That's very encouraging to hear. Does that spring on the bottom annoy you? I think that's the only thing that would do my head in as have my hands on bottom quite a lot

It doesn't annoy me at all and I have my hand on the end of the pole. The spring is only a little thicker than the pole hose and not sharp so it really isn't noticeable.

Was sure @steve garwood would have commented on that before now..

Sorry
It is brilliant for stopping the tube splitting at the base which used to drive me mad, but it can be removed if you prefer. It's a left hand thread so unscrew it clockwise to remove it

Not me. I don’t use tubeless as I never disconnect either of my poles at each side of the van.

Please can you invent something that repairs microbore when it has a small split.
Something that doesn’t require o clips as they would catch on my rollers (I have the smaller size rollers)

You missed the quote above my post
Yes, I've been trying various things but nothing I'm 100% happy with yet.

Sounds interesting.
I have a couple of your connections. Can’t fault them. Other window cleaners always ask about the coupler. Not tried tubeless as yet.
