Outex tubeless spoke sealing kit, one for Hobot

Very interesting as I'm not happy with RTV or other goops in the front rim as won't hold air any more just sitting around off the ground in living room. May have to try it if my next esculation don't hold air long. Must be careful not to still a lever on the center and nick a nipple hollow so machine changer is better but ain't got one on hand just yet or maybe never. I ain't anxious to deal with China and this rim tape is long time routine product in bicycles but they fail to hold air too often too. I know tape looks like a good idea but there is a reason we only see a China company selling it for motorcycle size rims.

Gas tank sealer is a long time method but mass starts adding up again. I have some Caswell Novalac I'm temped to drool on then spin with enough speed to centralize the layer bulge over the nipples till set up. Still even if adds some mass effect it also raises tire speed rating w/o tube rubbing and makes punctures a breeze to plug, - but unless mushroom or screw in type that is the end of getting away with spinning rear or sliding front or can drag out the plug I found out the hard way.

If ya going fast enough you don't need no stinking air to keep a tire round, but sometimes we must then all hell breaks loose.

Very interesting, but for one small problem, they will not work for very long on steel rim wheels due to the tendency for these rims to rust around the spoke area on the inside of the rim. Still I will keep an open mind if any of you out there goes and try the produce.
Also the wire spoke wheels will when ridden, push the spokes at the top of the rim.
