pros cons valve rips punctures no safty beads ect ect ..on balence i think it is worth a try and the pros out weigh the cons ...having had a bad off with a ripped valve not so long ago im of the opinion nowt could let air out faster ...crf is probaly a good one to do it on as its low power and narrow rims ..i never used clamps on the crf tyres ..i dont think ill try really low pressures as theres no clamps and a dented rim would not be good ..ive never had one
pucture sealing was very good in testing and i think beads apart its essential ti use a sealent with this method for a visual check of the valves and spokes ect ..if nowt else it certainly got me to check me tyres evry ride ..which i guess is what we should do ..but all good so far
been using 3m extream sealing tape 38ml rear 25ml front ,,,the e09 tubless rear sealed instantly ..the 644 tube mitas had a tiny leak on the bead 4psi over 4 days ..and despite the slime running the tyre re seating the little fecker would not seal ..just one place for two/ inches ..i found the bead leak was in the same place on the tyre and not on the rim as it blew tiny bubbles wherever i put it on the rim ..a very slow leak but a leak nontheless
but a change of sealant seems to have cured it
im not saying rush out and do it but the ealry signs are good .
.personally im not in the least worried about tape failure as in sudden or anything dramatic its pretty tough sticky stuff but obviusly i need to carfully watch things long term for signs of failure ..i intend to run the rar for a month and remove the tyre ..i am using me spare wheel for this and keeping a close eye on things for sure
....anyway
been done around a week now and so far so good
