Tubeless Mission Getting Out of Control - New Wheels Incoming, PowerTap G3 For Sale...

The new Schwalbe Rocket Rons refuse to go onto their rim. Below is a my latest and hopefully last attempt, here soaked in soapy suds with big bubbles, after adding another layer of Stan's tape AND one of the original rim strips below the Stan rim strip.

So to work I go and I make some decisions during my latte walk - selling the G3 Powertap Wheel to fund a new set of real tubeless wheels.

Stan's again, rat bastard it better work this time - Arch Ex 32 holes with XT hubs incoming Friday from Ebay for $380. Tim suggested Flow would be tougher, Stan's claims these are good for riders to 230lbs. We will find out.

Looks like Barb might get those lightweight wheels for her 29er afterall.
