Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 What's gorilla tape? Where u get it from? Gorilla tape is what duct tape wishes it was. One step down from Helicopter tape. Apparently you get it from Builders whorehouse...

Cassie Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Or try real the real ghetto conversion. Leave your tape in place.Purchase a couple of 26" presta valve tubes (preferably with removable valve cores)Stretch the tube around the rim, inflating it a little to help get it lined up nicely.Take a pair of scissors and cut only the outer part right around the centreline of the rim.Fold out the flaps.Fit the tyre so that the flaps come out between the tyre and the rim.Apply sealant.Inflate. I have never needed more than a footpump to inflate this way.Trim off the excess tube sticking out the sides. I have used this successfully on the Giant SXC2(?) rims as well as the PXC2 rims. The thickness of the tubes under the tyre beads help it to get a tight fit for easy inflation, and I have found this method to be more reliable than the Joes strips, as well as being super cheap. ???? I did not know there was any other way??? This method....is easy peasy...I really don't know what's the fuss about!!! Ghetto & forget...(just top up your sealant every 3 months or so...)
igknot Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I did the 26" tube thing last night. It was so easy I could have used a hand pump. They Seald instantly. POP. done Pythons on a Mavic M19 with stans.They were done before the first beer.I had to sit and look at them for another hour to finish the beer allocation. Lone_Ranger and Skylark 2
