Rollin

After short discussions with BartMan over the last 2 seasons and further discussions with the mechanic yesterday I took the plunge. I took these sweet ass rims I go last year.

And these sweet ass clinchers I got last year.I removed the tube and the mr tuffy. I took 2 new MTB Tubes, cut them apart to make a seal on the rim and a rubber on rubber connection, added some stans, had Ty and mechanic help get the bead over the rim and presto chango....

Ghetto Tubular. They are holding air and ready to roll.

We will see how it all works out.

Another religious convert, you won't regret it. OK, maybe you will when the bead separates and you blow Stan's all over the living room, but until then you will be fast and flat proof.

I have been running ghetto tubeless on the MTB all summer and they have been absolutely trouble free. I actually haven't added anymore stans since I set them up initially five months ago (and no flats that entire time). I was planning on doing it before the 12 hours of Sundance, but got lazy. I will trying it on my cross wheels as well.

Just coming to it? I thought you considered yourself a progressive?
