hi guys
anyone using this system successfully that can give me their thoughts on it ? a guide on how to do it would be great too.
cheers
Found these two vids very good :
I've had lots of success with the split Bmx tube ghetto method.
I also have a pair of ust wheels which have been every bit as good
TBH I think the tyres are more of a factor.
Decent tyres make all the difference.
Thanks for the replies guys,
Have used it with panaracer firexc and maxxis high roller with no problems.
Tried it with various combinations of mavic and stans rims, with schwalbe, maxxis, bontrager and kenda tyres, with rim strips and yellow tape... and it's never failed to do the job. Works a treat.
was just thinking of trying the ghetto route for my alex dp20 wheels....anyone tried this with bonty jones mud-x tyres? They say tubeless but interested in feedback.
Ran some tubeless last winter with stans jizz,no problems at all.
mixed success here - i've found i need quite high pressures to stop 'burping' all the air out.
it's a chuffing nightmare WHEN you do get a flat though...
(it'll be cold, and raining. You'll have no end of fun trying to get the tyre off, and clean, and de-thorned, so you can start again with a tube. Your friends will get cold and bored, and leave you to the wolves)

This may be true 😳
Only happened the once in a good couple of years of running tubeless, and I've now got a [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7971&gclid=CLHSh9jEprMCFSTLtAod52MAsw ]tubeless repair kit[/url] kit for next time it happens. Didn't have any problems with the Mud X's burping on Stan's crest rims at about 25psi.
