I use the Stan's combined valve and rim strip. Had a flat on Sunday - I think the tyre burped when I hit a bump - and couldn't get the bead to reseat so I took out the strip and put in a tube.
That lasted me the ride but when I checked the tyre this morning it was flat - when I looked there was a hole on the rim side of the tube about an inch away from the valve. I'm guessing that I'd have been OK if I'd had a rim strip?
So what do people do? Fit a tube like I did and hope for the best with the plan to sort it at home? Or is there a better solution?
Just some electrical tape over the rim and then fit the rim strip as before. You won't have the problem you mentioned again.
Thanks, just wish that I'd posted before I spent the time setting the tyre up as tubeless again :facepalm:
Gorilla tape.
It's what ENVE reship with their wheels.
And then you don't need the rim strip.
Weight savings, cash savings.
+ 1 for gorilla tape
