Hey Bill, I have a friend in Oregon that has used them and has been somewhat satisfied. He said that they were a little hard to set up but seem to work okay. He has run across them burping which means with low air pressure (30-38psi) the seal temporarily breaks loose and allows air to escape. If your willing to invest the money and time then go for it. Personally I'd stick with tubes because if you ever flat you will use a tube anyway. Just my opinion. I hope my reply inspires other to do more than view a topic and actually speaktheir mind. -Todd

I dont use the the rim strips cuz i got tubeless wheels. But i do run standard velociraptors on them with stans sealant. the difference is over 375 grams and since it is rolling weight i can really feel it. Tubeless tires are too heavy. And i never have flats. Soon i will put the whole notubes kit on some non tubeless wheels that i run on my ss. I'll post the results then.

Sig, How messy was the original setup? Was it difficult to do? I am the worlds worst mechanic, but I am leaning towards trying these out.
Also, we riding HKSP Sunday at 11AM. Red Barn.

Bill, go to the notubes.com site and check out the video. the only thing is it take a comppressor or a co2 to seat the bead.it is better than tubes even if you need a tube to get you out of the woods. it rolls faster, doesnt flat near as easy,and 2 scoops is around30 gr. i read your post when i got home from turkey today. hate to miss out. i'll check more often.
