    you betcha. Either the dt5.1 is not deep enough or the extra rubber around valve doesn’t leave room for the bead to grip. the air comes straight out the other side.

    Anyone tried the method with duct tape?

    Or should i remove the velox strip to get a little extra room?

    Get the proper DT5.1 rimstrip kits and you also have the option of using UST tyres.

    Of course the conversion kit costs more than the bloody rim (and is a complete rip-off) but it does work well.

    Tried ghetto tubeless on the 5.1s, tried duct tape with the 5.1s. Had the same problem that you describe with both methods. I bought myself some new wheels with tubeless rims in the end! 😆
