I'm going with handbuilt, probably with something like 819's, but should I use regular rims (perhaps ztr even) and the stans? It seems like such a messy pain in the ass. Am I wrong?
It can be a little messy when you are initially installing and sealing up the tires, but after that, you should rarely, if ever need to break the bead off the rim so there's no mess. Just do it outside. Stan's really does work.
