I heard this from an old school mechanic. Is this a myth or a great tip?I know absolutely it wouldn't affect the tires performance if you put looped noddle in the tubeless tire when you mount it but how would it affect incase you get a flat would it help it to keep it on the wheel for a while or would it make it worse? Please mention your experience on your answer. thanks

I suspect it's a myth ! Think about this. If you were to have a flat at high speed, the noodle would not be sturdy enough to support the weight of you and the bike. It would probably cause you to loose control. At low speed, however, it might save expensive damage to the rim. I'm gonna leave the testing part to you !!! lol
Balance and ability to hold it up will be a problem for sure. And it is true farmers put water and antifreeze in their tires. They do it for two reasons. One is for added weight to make the tire pull better and the other is for counter balance on slopes. A tractor is hell to stop with the tires full, but about a third of the way filled they are easy to stop and won't turn over on slopes as easily. They also put as much as 1500-2000 pounds on the front bumper to be able to lift heavy implements with the three point.
I don't have any personal experience with this however I'm thinking through it and: Depending on how heavy your bike is I can't see how a foam noodle would even stand up to the weight. It'd compress flat. Personally sounds like a Shade Tree Mechanic myth to me. I'd put money into a really nice set of self-sealing tires before I'd bet the store on piece of foam swimming noodle.
