I've just got hold of a lovely 29er hardtail, and it's come with easton ea70xc wheels.
I did some hunting to get hold of some rim strips, and although the ones I bought didn't say they were compatible with my wheels, I thought, they must fit, they're just 29 inches.. surely??
Nope!
So the stans strips (£40 worth!!) are useless as they are nowhere near wide enough.
Can anyone point me to some that will fit? Or have I now gotta shed out on new wheels so that I can run tubeless..?
Cheers
A lot of people have been having success with gorilla tape, not that I've tried it myself

or get some 24" innertubes and make your own rim strips a-la ghetto

Gorilla tape works a treat for me, a 2" wide roll cut down the middle does around 10 wheels I reckon!
i use 26" innertubes in a ghetto style.
Thanks for everyones help, I ended up getting the tape from superstar, which is great but I need to drill the inner valve hole out to get the rim strip to seat flush as it sticks up slightly and is letting air out still.
Thanks again
I am thinking of using this kit for mine, cheap too....

I made use of some spare Stans 26er strips. Worked on my 29er wheels
