Anyone used them and got real world experience? Not a lot coming up on t’interweb searches but looks almost too Good to be true!

Getting sick of tape and faff with valves not sealing and tempted to try something different.

Yep, I have them on a couple of bikes with no issues. I don’t bother with tape after discovering them.

Use ‘em, love ‘em. Which reminds me - I’ll go out and tape some rims I need for the Puffer in half a year.

So yes - recommend.

I’m gettin so p’d off with a couple of rims that just wont seal so think they’re the next option. Tyres are so tight i cant help disturb the tape each time they come off so its nearly always a retape 🤬

@krixmeister

Roughly sort of air loss do you see and did you stick to their outer rim guide size?

Why they couldnt do inner width is beyond me! Both wheelsets are at the end of the width guide but both have fairly deep spoke channel so wondering whether it matters or size up?

I found they degraded over time and gave up on them in the end.

Try the specialised tubeless strips instead. Fraction of the price and I've had no bother

I found them to be the one thing that finally got a set of trouble some (gravel) rims to seal and stay up. However like survivor they degraded over time till one failed.

Mine are currently residing in the shed where they’ve been for at least a year. Didn’t work for me.
