'Bontrager tubeless strips fit all rims' - ja sure!

Recommended Posts

Despite the assurance from at least 2 bike shops my experience is that the plastic Bontrager tubeless strips do not 'just work' in any rim. I have a set of wheels where they just slot in no worries, another set where they need some coaxing and then a set of I believe Alex DM18 or something like that where they will not fit :angry:

 

When I say will not fit I mean that it is not possible to get the 'edges' to be within the rim edge. Last night I decide that perhaps some further investigation was necessary, checked it out and trimmed about a millimeter or so off of each edge and 'hey presto' worked a charm :thumbup:

 

Anyway might be useless information but hopefully will help someone someday ;)

 

Use it don't use it ......
