|   FrankenTube is leaking | eric wictor

Mar 23, 2002 6:32 AM | | We all know why. It's not forming a closed tube like Stan's does. Anf I bet, that when you push the bead off the rim, you'll have one very flat tire. It's easy to inflate any tubeless rimstrip, but to out-perform even the basic tape/latex setup is a whole other story...
Next to try:
- Stop press : Melting stan's-style strip together with tire on UST rim
- Non-Stretchable Tube (downhill-proof system)
- Strips that cling to the tire on two sides of the bead. Mount with tubular-type glue (=removable). |

Mar 23, 2002 8:33 AM | | ...do you remember me saying there was a normal layer of tape under strip? So the strip ain't causin' the leakin'!
Also, @ 20 psi I almost pulled the tire clear of the rim. A little air loss, but no latex spray. Ha! But I've decided I switch tires too often to goof with this latex setup. I'll just fill a latex tube with about 35g of sealant and have done with it.

Mar 23, 2002 10:43 AM | | Yeah, I know the wasn't causing the leak. Cool that there was so little air loss, but only none will do.
How about my other ideas? Please all help me figure out good ways to realize them! |
