tubeless slicks

Dion Hildebrandt · 05-06-2010, 03:06 PM

Just wondering where you guys are getting and using for air valves when running tubeless radial slicks? I've got a set that would be usable on the front tires but I thought there was a beefier style commonly used for the drag slicks?

Same as these.

Then get as bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid and paint the insides of your new tires with 2 coats, let em dry , and you're good to go.

whats with the soap a 'membrane' of sorts? the link for the stems are the ones I have ,I just wasnt sure if they were the correct ones

A good deal of slicks will seep air thru the side walls usually. That just seals the sidewalls and keeps you happier !

Kenny, took your advice & it works. Painted inside heavy with a paint brush. Let them dry a day and gave them a second coat. No leaks.
