... I set up my non-tubeless rim with a tubeless tire. I had to put on 5 layers of tape to get a proper seal, but it seems really secure. Can't get it to hiss.

It's a hooked rim, obviously. Odds this goes terribly wrong?

I’ve done this half a dozen times successfully for CX or gravel, but I’ve never had enough nerve to do it for road tires.

Good luck!

I knew a guy that did this on some non tlr rims for the road, set it up, the tire pumped up, he left it over night before putting in sealant, the tire blew off the rim at 3 am. He abandoned the test. Not that it might not work for you, but at such pressures, I would not try it.

Here's a quick video of me stress testing the seal (with no sealant, at ~25psi):

Interesting. That indicates that the tire stretched, no? Unless the rim itself somehow shrunk. Do you know if he used tubeless tires?

I have these aired up to 80psi rn. Let's see how well they hold. So far so good.

I was chasing a roadrunner. Or, I got ran over by a crappy purple Scion.

He did have TLR tires, they were not new, however, but did not have that many miles on them. Someone gave them to him as his bike could only fit 25mm max and the other guy moved to 28mm. So could have been a collection of issues

Try it. Ride downhill as fast as you can. You may earn yourself a Darwin award.

In reality, I don't know that anyone cares about DIY tubeless on a tubed rim. I could be wrong. The thread title however, that's a gift that'll keep on giving. It might push the thread into epic status in the future.

If I die, it's probably because I got steamrolled by a Bro in a Bubba Truck trying to roll coal on me.

If I die it will be because I experienced sudden and immediate negative chain stretch while riding behind a woman who is not my wife.

indyfabz

I liked this post to give you positive reinforcement.

Mojo31

Thanks. My wife usually leaves a lot of slack in my chain, but that can go negative really fast if I were to suck the wheel of another woman.

Many of us can probably say that.

...and you'd been eating snake meat.

Mojo31

No, prolly something else.

That sounds creepy. Do you ride in HiViz shirts, dark clothing, camo or shirtless?

First thing I thought when I saw this....

When did David Letterman start singing?

I looked left when I should have looked right.

That fancy buzzy rear hub of mine drowned out the approaching train horn as I bunnyhopped the RR crossing tracks trying to win a Strava segment.
