Dirt cheap and work a treat. Very well held bead to the rim.

I currently use Stans but would be tempted to try Joes next time. Cheaper.

have a look here mate, you need the all mountain strips and the 19mm tape.

I'm guessing the AM version of the Joes kit? I know I could find out by taking the tyres off and measuring it... but if you've already gone through the process...

and is cheaper

that's about it really.

laserdisc rims are fine, just use a decent tape in before fitting the rim strip.

I've noticed that Joe's Noflats is pretty much 50% the cost of a stans kit, so any real difference?

It's on WTB Laserdisc Trail rims if that makes any differnce (apparently they can be a bit awkward on account of their deep channel in the middle...

Anyone tried both?
