The BigBen Ghetto tubless conversion

[_Daemon_]

Did the conversion this weekend, works like a charm, used maxxis crossmark and maxxis larsen TT tyres, they sealed instantly (used the petrol station compressor). Sealed IMO quicker than the real stans rim tape I used before. Had no pressure lost at all the following morning. Took it for a test ride with some mates at Northen Farms(damm the new singletrack sections are quite nice) and it works flawlessly!

I used it with normal stans liquid.

Now anyone got a homebrew stans liquid solution?

Recipe for latex sealing concoction.

500ml of carpet layer?s liquid latex. ? Get some from a professional carpet layer or buy a 5l can from a carpet supplier. 

100 ml of Scrubb?s Ammonia from Pick ?n Pay?s cleaning materials aisle or, 100ml of car windscreen wash solution.

A few teaspoons of fine, fibrous material ? fine sawdust, pencil eraser crumbs, finely-chopped Hessian rope or similar. Paper mush does not work, it forms a lump.
