FWIW a layer or two of Gorilla Tape will make it a tubeless rim
Really? Not in my experience. At all. [/quote]
It is in my experience, very much. Not even Gorilla branded tape, just B&Q’s own brand similar stuff. Follow the pinkbike method and works fine. Done it four times now and all work perfectly.
Not only that but not even tubeless ready tyres. So long as plenty of sealant is used they work fine. Only difference I find with TR tyres is they sometimes seat a bit easier.
That Maxxis tyres though. They seem to work tubeless especially well, TR or not.
