Thinking of going tubless and have Mavic 321 rims, anyone used a ghetto setup to go tubeless on these rims? Any info/tips would be greatfully recieved.
They are quite a deep rim so a layer of [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-5m-FOAM-MOUNTING-TAPE-decoupage-CRAFT-scrapbook-DIY-/180531628574?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&hash=item2a08860a1e ]foam mounting tape[/url] is required to get the tyres to seat quickly. If your tyres dont seal with one layer then just add a second as different tyres are tighter than others. I also add a final wrap of double sided tape to hold the 20" tube in place on the rim which allows for a few tyre changes after installation.
I use them with the 20" tube method and never had a problem. Always maxxis tyres with wire bead though.
There's a pretty good guide [url= http://www.mtbtechniques.co.uk/MaintananceGhetto.html ]here[/url]. 😀
Cheers, might give it go this weekend 😛
Just a layer of Stan's tape and a set of Maxxis LUST tyres works perfectly for me. Nuff said.
