    Yep, .99p 20" tube from Ebay cut in half on a M321 rim with a Highroller – been faultless for over a year, no burps no punctures!

    Wow, that's pretty cool. I always had it down as some sort of witchcraft best left for experts. Might give it a go after Chrimbo.

    Tescos do bmx tubes for £0.45 every so often – they do in my local one anyway!

    This looks easy…

    Anyone done it with DT Swiss 4.2 and 5.1 rims?

    Ghetto'ed WTB Trail rims with 2.35HRs(with a compressor). The tyre bead is held very tightly by the trail rims in fact needing pumped up until they 'ping' into the seat.

    Yes I have tried, but have failed to get a seal so far 🙁 It worked well with WTB lazerdisc rims and Nevs/Advantage.

    I need to borrow a compressor.

    I've done this with Speeddisc rims. Worked okay, not a problem here.

    DT 5.1 rims here (dt do a rim strip for them also) – lots of soapy water and compressor. easy peasy (any maxxis tyre is good).

    20" tyre and sealant, lots of very soapy water round each side of the rim with a brush.

    no punctures 🙂
