I don't know anyone who has actually done it, so I can't say how well it works. I recall Paladin posting a place in CA that does this. I've thought about it but I just keep a couple of spare tubes and a patch kit available.
I rode the Savage to Wheel Works, who do the wheel sealing thing, and was told no way. Seems they need more of a drop center than what we have. So I went and put tubes inside my Metzelers.
They also want new rims, not a speck of rust as that speck will eventually grow and the seal will fail.
