I used two little bottles of the sealant I got a bike shop when I was on a riding trip.
It looks like it is holding air this morning. I’ll have to wait a while to test it, it’s 17F outside.
Since the rims have no brand on them, and there is sealant coming out of the weld of the rim I would assume this isn’t going to work. I’ll stay close and as always, have a spare tube.
On second look, nothing says tubeless on the rim or the tire. I don’t remember where I saw “tubeless ready”. I just got tired of buying expensive tubes just to have cacti wreck ’em every 50 miles. So this post should be renamed “Ghetto Tubeless”.
