Poor mans MTB tubless conversion
By George, on 9/5/2010 4:32:00 AM
Convert and rim/tire into a tubless set up
first, buy a 20inch bmx tube... cut it along the outside centre of the tube the whole way around (now you have a tubless rim strip)
stretch that onto your rim, mount your tire and do a test inflate!
once you popped the tire into place, deflate and open a section of the tire to pour in stans no tubes...
re mount, re-inflate and spin that sucker around in all directions. there ya go... done.
I have done this witht he following tires
Nevegals
Larsenn TT
Small Block 8
On the following rim types
mavic x117
Cross rides
WTB laser disc
in the 3 years of running my wheels tubless i have never had a flat again. And i run them at 25 psi for DH racing and 30psi for general XC/trail riding! best thing you can ever do!!!!

Air trapped in the hydraulic of the disc brakes system can cause not enough brake power.
To repair this problem you have to make normally bleeding, by bleeding
You fill new oil from the lower point (Caliper) trough the system, to the highest point (lever blade) and suck the rest......
