• my new wheels have arrived - tubeless ready kinlin xr22t - looking nice.

    i notice that the rim tape one one of them has a small hole in it - does this need to be fixed or is the actual rim airtight?

  • Depends on how big the "small hole" is. If the hole is located above a spoke hole deffo repair it. The sealant will still seal it at some point but you don't want white goo leaking out of your nipples, do you?

    If it's only got one layer of tape per rim them you might as well build the rim bed up and chuck another layer on; repair job done, easier set up achieved.

    Give yourself a pat on the back and then have a whisky.
