Re: Sealing wire wheels for tubeless tires

Always remember that wire spoke wheels are dynamic rather than static assemblies. Therefore spokes and nipples move under dynamic conditions and what may seem sealed is suddenly no longer sealed. Special rim liners are a necessity even with tubes, but without them...even moreso... with other steps.

Bottom line, sudden loss of tire pressure at speed can be catastrophic.
