No Tubes 29er Tubeless System Fits Salsa, Bontrager and Most 29" Mountain Rims Review
After putting up with flats and the extra weight, I took the plunge and bought Stan's conversion kit along with two new tubeless mountain bike tires. I also watched Stans videos as well as several others on youtube a couple of times each. I considered buying tubeless rims, but given the price and that I'm a weekend warrior at best, it seemed a little much. Instead I learned to subtleties of tubed to tubeless conversion and got a little dirty.The rim strip, that looks like an inner tube except it's just a flat strip, would not allow me to put on the tubeless tires. With the rim strip I was able to use my old tubed tires, but the weaker sidewall compared to the tubeless ones [which have fairly uniform thickness through the tire] had me nervous. To get a seal soap suds are needed as shown in the video, to seal between the tire and the wheel as well as make visible leaks, as well as a high air volume floor pump or compressed air [the one at the gas station worked for me]. Once you've gotten to the "Stans goop in the tire" point it needs to be sloshed back and forth as shown in the video and allowed to sit flat for several minutes on both sides to seal the side walls since once the wheel is vertical there's not goop up against the sidewalls. Any tear in the sidewall will render a tubed tire unusable for conversion for tubeless.
To get the tubeless tires on my rims I found that by not using the rim strip and removing the thin tape covering spoke nipples, cleaning the inner surface as shown on a Stans video, the rim tape allowed me to seal the holes and a stans valve stem sealed the stem hole. With this slightly smaller amount of material in the wheel groove I was FINALLY able to get the tubeless tire on my none-tubeless wheel and seal it with air.
In short for tubeless tires on tubed rims use ONLY rim tape.
For tubed tires use the rim strip.
Watch the videos.
My now tubeless wheels are much lighter that they used to be.
Good Luck and Good Riding.
