About to attempt a ghetto tubeless setup. and have a couple things I'm not sure of,
1 - I was planning on using a valve cut from a tube. Should I be putting the valve in the rim then applying gorilla tape and them piercing through the tape or tape the rim then push the valve through the tape?
2 - My rim is drilled for presta but I don't have any presta tubes with removable cores in my stash. Will a presta without the core removed allow enough air in to seat the tyre? I could bring it all to work and use the airline rather than a track pump.
Cool, that means that taping at work with their tape wasn't a waste of time and I've had a look in my spare tubes tub and I have couple 26" road tubes with removable cores so if I have to, I can kill one of them and take its valve.
