Crazy tubeless idea
06/10/19 at 00:26:00
 
Was thinking, uh-oh...
Wonder if using window flashing, the stuff that comes in a roll, kinda rubbery, with a silver out side coating, and sticks like crazy, would seal the spokes in the rim.
Tubeless tires would then work.

There are tubeless kits out there for pretty cheap. I got the one from Ebay.
The real question is the kind of rim you have. The WM style are NG, you need the MT type. Basically, what is called a Safety rim. The concern is that with a flat, the tire can come off the rim with a non-safety rim.

In theory, theory and reality are the same. In reality, they aren't...

Gorilla tape works well when I do ghetto tubeless MTB setups.

I would just buy a kit though.

Thought you bought tubeless GS wheels??

The early 80's cast GS wheels that allow the use of our brakes , are NOT tubeless rims .

The cast rim deal fell thru. No idea why.
