I can take the tire off the wheel with the tire still holding (a little) air and pop on another tire without touching the sealant or using a tube. Its a nice unexpected side affect from these latex strips.
I am interested in the product you mention Chase58, sounds great. I am a little hesitant to enter skinnystrippers in a search engine for fear of what might turn up. Maybe you could provide a link directly to the product? I am wondering if this product might serve as a replacement for taping wheel rims or buying expensive “tubeless rims” or not?
I am tempted to, some might say, go off topic “again”. It seems we are heading towards a discussion of wheel rims and making tires tubless. Though the OP did mention having rims built maybe I should ask the OP if this is an acceptable direction for his post. I can always start a new thread rather than move further off topic. I was just thinking this might be of interest to the OP too?
