Sort of.

Bought this the other day from Ebay. 25 quid so very cheap for a tubless/sealant set and the money goes towards Cancer Research UK.

[url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180521688429&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT ]Joe's Tubeless System XC. Super sealant - NO FLATS![/url]

Tested it out today. Got the front up and running easily with a track pump. Will try the back later when I get some more tape and am 100% sure if I like it or not.

Possibly should be in the classifieds, but hey-ho it's here.

I';ve got no vested interest in this other than it was for a 'good cause'and the delivered the next day as well.

thanks for that - 3 kits bought - my older strips are getting a bit frayed.

Glad to have helped.

I was never going to faff about with tubeless, then saw this for 25 and thought it was worth a punt.

I bought a set last time too - got a nice thank you on headed paper which was completely unnecessary as it was such a good deal.

Mine was stuck to a bit of carboard, but hand written. Thinking about it, I did really appreciate the thank you when I opened it yesterday.

I just did it with Geax Barro Mountains and a track pump.

Absolutely no problems at all.

thanks quirrel.

The Geax have quite stiff side walls. I don't know if different tyres will be easier or harder. I had read all these stories of people not managing to get it to set etc without a compressor.

Two goes it took and it beaded up. Went out for a couple of hours ride and everything was fine.
