ritchey wcs rims/wheels on my boardman pro and conti speed kings 2.1 (not ust specific) can i do the bmx tube jobby on these?
what latex and where from? (if its poss)
any body?
Conti are a bit harder - I have ghetto 'd a Race King onto a Mavic 317.
but im right in saying you can convert any standard rim this way and most standard tyres?
Think so. Just did my first pair and I used Stan's latex. May use something cheaper if I find I use a lot (like an inner tube)
Yep.
to be sure of doing a good job, build the inside of the rim up with cloth rim tape/insulating tape, so that the tyre is a really tight fit.
It will make it awkward to get the tyre on (and you'll have to fish the rim strip back out again) but it makes it all the easier to inflate, and i reckon helps prevent burps.
Lots of soapy water is your friend!
Oh, and Joe's Noflats latex is the best i've used, stays liquid a lot longer than the others i've used.
Neat washing up liquid (inflation sealing) and jra wheelmilk here
no washing up liquid or water and no rim building up here.
+ joes solution in bonty tyres.
jobs a goodun.
