Re: Ghetto tubelessing a road wheel

I've been running "Ghetto" tubeless on a pair of Mavic Kysrium (non tubeless) disc wheels for two years now, no issues at all with tyres unmounting (though its always on your mind). Gorilla tape and Stans sealant, working a treat for sealing and p repair. 28mm tubeless tyre @ 65psi

Hit me up with recommendations for a Lightweight Tarp, small pack size, waterproof, windproof etc

I tried using the search but no results returned because tarp is too common a search term
