do you perhaps know who did the photos?

thanx johan and hayley, printed the messages, will be taking them home and doing tubeless over the weekend. no just to find a decent size tubeless tire, like a 2.4 UST. also have a brand new out the box tire which i bought yesterday for this little project that im not gonna use, its a 26 x 2.1 piskriek tire. up for sale at 400 bucks

so tried last night and was unsuccessful.... the problem i had was getting the tire to seat on my rims. In the UST tire packaging i bought it said "fits on UST rims only" so that got me worried but i pressed on... So i cut the duct tape perfectly and neet, and wrapped the rim twice... Then i made a small hole, stuffed through the tubeless valve and tightened it as best i can. then i put the tiny 26 x 2.1 tire on.... it looks soooo small compared to my mountain king 2.4's that were on then i saw a huge problem... there were massive gaps between the rim wall and the tire bead, and i mean big, like 6mm gaps. and this is due to my rim being so wide and the tire still being deformed from the packaging. so no matter how much air i forced through the valve at what tempo it didnt help. i even tried seating the tire manually and then inflating but no luck....

just got myself some black duct tape, tubeless valve, stans, and a 26x2.1 racing ralph or rocket ron(can't remember what the name was).... so tonight it's me and my rim

where can i get some?

what do you guys think of the Vredestein Killer Bee UST 26" tire?

Okay so I read you can use any rim... Can i just gooi some duct tape, a tubeless valve, stans and a UST tire? edit: is the 20" bmx tire really necessary?

Thanx all for the response! okay so i will do the tubeless thing! been getting punctures from thorns not so much pinch bites as i ride a very hard pressure! even with the slime in the tubes i still get punctures!! do i take the rim tape off before wrapping insulation tape?

So i think i'm cursed - i always get punctures! and it's making my rides soo unpleasant! so i need the help of our hubbers... what can i do to alleviate the situation?? I've checked the following: - im running mavic 325 rims, with proper rim tape covering all the spoke holes - no damage to the rim (that i can see) - high volume 2.5 tubes with mountain king 2.4 tires still new - i had tire liner installed with slime in the tube (took the tire liner out as i was still getting punctures with or without the tire liner) - there are no thorns/objects stuck in the tire - i'm pretty sure it's not me damaging the tube when putting it back - it only happens to the rear wheel how can i ensure no more punctures?? tubeless is on my to do list but i need a remedy before saturday's usn race at big red barn. any help will be much appreciated!
