Tubliss D606 Rear: So Far, So Good

I know the Tubliss system is controversial and I've read a lot of criticisms and negatives.  I don't want to start an argument but thought it might be useful for a newcomer to report his experience.

I rode dirtbikes for many years as a kid/teenager.  Once had a touring bike and still have a Rokon Trailbreaker.  Got a WRR a few months ago to explore the many trails in NW Nevada.

I ride alone in desert country so I carry 4 liters of water, about the same amount of extra gas, a PLB, and survival gear.  I'm well over 200 lbs loaded.

I first tried the Tubliss D606 rear on paved roads at 15lbs.  Ran fine.  Tried 7 lbs on dirt trails.  Better ride comfort and traction than the stock rear tire at 14-15lbs.  Lowered the Tubliss rear setup to 4lbs.  The sidewall bulge appears no greater than the stock rear tire exhibited at 14-15lbs.  Rides really nice.  I think I could run that tire at 2-3psi but probably don't need to.

With a dramatic lowering of gearing and the Tubliss D606 in the back, I can now climb a lot more of the steep, loose rock trails in my area.  When the bike was stock it was ineffective on those trails and I feared I had made a big mistake.

Hopefully the system will last and continue to perform.

How long have you been running the Tubliss D606 ?

They should let me use a computer only when supervised. Somehow I managed to post my response as a separate topic. Sorry about that---perhaps an admin can fix my error?
