Michael Hardman Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 How many people have used the diy tubeless technique that mike was going on about a month or so back.

Phatmike Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I've learned that either you buy the "proper" (notubes) stuff, or water the latex down. Unless you put masses in, it'll dry, and become useless if you get a puncture. So by watering it down a bit, it won't dry. However it'll take longer to seal. Apart from that i couldn't fault it. I banged my front wheel on some damn sharp walls when i was using it, and obviously never pinched, and stabbed a couple of allen keys in there. :P" I've this minute ordered some proper notubes sealent from freeborn, and will be running that when it arrives. :P I heard what happened to Chai's sounded beastly! :P I'd reccomend it.

ScotchDave Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I did it, it works rather well, all you need is an inner toob, a track pump, latex, and a knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChai Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 lol i was pretty impressed myself. the only downside was getting the latex to cover up the hole which was in between sidewall of the tyre that took a while but it sealed up in the end (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
