After 2 flats that took hours to fix, I decided to convert my rims from tube to tubeless. I sealed every spoke head individually with a automotive body sealer that stays somewhat flexible . Let it dry overnight and then covered the rim with a rubberized high heat tape. The tape is very sticky and provides a absolutely airtight seal. After 2 months of riding I noticed no loss of pressure and only had to adjust the front and back tire pressure for temperature related change. The total cost came to $40 and a couple of hours of work. Can't wait to have flat. I always carry a small compressor and plugs with me and was able to a HD rider with a flat to get back on the road in no time at all. I watched U tube videos about the process with different materials and decided to do my way. The valve stems I purchased from NAPA Autoparts.
