Hey man, I live down in Poway -- that 'ranch in Escondido', yer talkin Daley ranch yeah? protip I've heard for goathead thorns: just leave 'em in.
Also I ride a Krampus, no motor though. v1 Krampus (green) that I bought used, with rabbit-hole rims. They have the original (I think) blue nylon(?) rimstrip, and as described above, I use split tubes for liners. Can't remember 24" or 26" for the 700 rims. I know another guy with a Krampus (lives in PQ), he did his Rabbit Holes tubeless with non-gorilla navajo-patterned duct tape. He said he had to carefully lay down a strip with the patterned back showing through the holes, and then strips on either side to tape that down to the rim.
