Rabbit Hole rims tubeless.

Post by Mactheknife68 »

Have seen various methods to run these tubeless, not keen on the faff with the split tube method. I’m planning on trying WTB 50mm tubeless tape over the surly woven rim straps.
Is there an easy fool proof method

In my experience, it’s difficult to ensure a good seal at the valve with single wall rims. If you don’t want to go the split tube or Fatty Stripper route, then use Super P-Nuts.

I ran rabbit hole type 50mm rims in my ECR. Split tube isn’t really any more faff than normal tubeless.
The only additional step is running a blade around the rim afterwards to remove the excess tube. I never got my rims to work with normal tape.
The major concern I had with split tubes was that it wasn’t field serviceable.

I’ll have a go with the wtb tubeless tape and see how it goes, if it fails then split tubes it is. Cheers

I used wide electrical tape on my fatbike rims.

Just bought a set of super p nuts apparently these help seal the valves on a single skin rim.

Just used gorilla tape on mine, works fine.
At my age you would think I would be very wise, but alas still stupid enough to get into trouble

Same here. No issues with gorilla tape.
