A pretty specific tubeless question here...
For those of you using the Ghetto tubeless tape method, specifically those with Schrader drilled rims, what valves are you using?
Is there a decent “Off the peg” Schrader valve available from Stan’s or Bonty perhaps?
Failing that has anyone had any massive successes or failures using tape, a Presta valve and a valve hole reducer on normal Schrader type rims?
[url= http://www.justridingalong.com//shop.php?product=212 ]These[/url] allow a presta valve to be clamped to the tape or the back of the innertube with a lockring. I've used them fine with Eclipse rim strips they should work fine with conventional ghetto setups too. I used 2 lockrings to keep them secure.
i'm using a schwalbe 20in tube with a schrader valve for my rim strip which seems to work pretty well.
Done plenty of Rims with the 20" tube method and it's worked a treat, but I'm now looking to re-do the lot with tape and a decent valve hopefully as a more permanent solution...
bikewhisperer - That adapter was the type of thing I was thinking about, just wanted a bit of feedback on other experiences with them... Cheers.
