    “once you get the knack of cutting the rubber around the valve right,”
    “electrical tape” :mrgreen:

    its not difficult at all and makes use of the old tubes i have lying around, plus it probably saves around 70 grams per wheel.
    not sure if it matters but im sure its better to have the tyre seated on the rim as per my method than sandwiching a big piece of innertube. :mrgreen:

    as i say i have done 3 sets with no problem, as per walts website, i used i layer of cloth tape ani i foud it better to do 2 layers of electrical insulating tape so that you cover the whole inside width of the rim rather han just the spoke hole area, if you could get pvc tape exactly the same width then 1 layer would do, i think its a standard width though.
    i have used stans sealant so far but my next step is to make my own sealant from latex, slime windscreen washer.
    there is a learning curve but once you get the knack of cutting the rubber around the valve right, about a square cm, and double checking in the bath and then sealing any small leaks your sorted, and do buy a compressor they are only cheap. i think they main reason people get pissed of is messing around with pumps or co2, having unlimited air at high pressure takes away hassle from a reletively simple job.

    i am running super ghetto null without rim strips and just use an old valve. I dont even mess around with soap suds and they still seat ok. I also dont use removable valve cores i just put on 90% of the tyre and then just pour the required amount of sealant in, then put the tyre on inflate and if no obvious leaks put it in a bath tub of water and you will see the small leaks which you address my moving the wheel around till it seals.
    went riding in wales this last weekend and my mate punctured 5 times on thorns and i didnt have a single problem- so do persevere, it is worth it

    my top tip is get a compressor- about £60 at machinemart or aldi it makes the job a lot easier
