Just got it firing!
I'm getting ready to attempt to convert my rims to tubeless, and after weighing the options have decided to go with:
sealing the nipples with 3M 5200FC and covering with 3M 4412N tape as a redundancy. Has anyone on the forum done this mod yet? If so, what width tape did you use? Based on my measurements it looks like 2.5" for the rear and 2" for the front. My only concern with sealing the nipples is what to do if i need to "tune' the spokes at a later date. I was thinking of putting adhesive 'dots' over each of the nipples (like the Outex product ) prior to sealing with the adhesive sealant. Any advice or opinions are welcome.
