Woofie Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Since there is a backyard conversion where you can make your MTB tubeless. What about road bikes? Slime does work in road bikes (I have tried), even under the pressure. I know because I have pulled thorns out at 8 bar and the holes are sealed. So why cant we install a rim sealing strip and a bit of slime and get it going? We wont need much slime in road wheels to do the job and the weight saved by not having a tube would balance it out. Any ideas? Volunteers?
