Putting a Tube in the Tire?

[wild1poet2]

I run a spoke tire with a tube on my motorcycle. I know that tube tires are smoother on the inside than tubeless tires. The tubeless tire may have ribs or other rough surfaces on the inside which will cause friction with an inner tube inserted. This will heat up and could cause the tube to burst from heat.

I'd be careful about this and think of it as a temporary fix at best and one in which you would have to keep speeds low in case of blow outs.

I do seem to remember that you can purchase heavier tubes. I forget what they are used for. Drag racing? Off road racing? They are made out of thicker rubber and they would hold up better than typical tubes if subjected to excessive friction.
