    **** it. Its a scarred rim but I will soldier on with it.

    Lots of tape? What sort of valve?

    You can get dt rim strips for them, however they are nae cheap. Pretty sure the stans no tubes kit works too and is cheaper.

    Schwalbe tubes have a threaded valve stem so you can tighten it down.

    Just used Stans tape plus a couple of layers of electrical tape (didn’t have enough yellow tape left), valve and fluid – worked fine with proper UST tyres.

    A few wraps of electrical tape and a mavic tubeless valve (other makes are available).

    100mm of liquid latex, and a maxxis minion non-UST, or UST if you prefer.

    Last time I used some good quality electrical tape. Wrapped it a few times and then used some stans juice and some cut out old valves.

    Took me 20 mins to set up and its been solid for a year. Topped up on juice once in a while. Simple!
