[Jim Wilson]

or as thedonald would say  fake news
personal attacks are again* NOT RELEVANT ON THIS SITE !*

Woody's Wheel Works, see

> a highly respected wheel builder, WILL NOT perform this procedure and
> specifically strongly advises AGAINST it.

> IF anyone is inclined to follow Mike Cecchini's advice, below, re sealing
> tube type rims, please DO your own homework FIRST as to whether this
> procedure is safe or not. Only then can you make an INFORMED decision.
>
> Mike has repeated this same advice on the airhead list about a bazillion
> times, in spite of Bob Fleischer (Snowbum), Tom Cutter and others advising
> in the strongest possible words that this is very bad advice. Tube type
> rims are NOT shaped to accept tubeless tires plus there are other reasons
> to NOT do this. It is DANGEROUS advice.


the above graph       is a direct  copy /  paste    straight off WOODY'S
WHEEL WORKS   ! !  TODAY  !  !
i would suggest they know more about wheels than most guru's.

and a dozen companies who sell the products that because of modern
chemicals allow sealing.  thanks to nasa and dow and others.  wouldn't they
be liable for providing inferior products like the ''FLIP A LEVER'' and the
inventor was sued and lost everything, * yet* that products has been copied
and sold to thousands of riders today.

i would imagine that IF a person wanted to convert their bike to electronic
ignition or alter their alternator with a better quality diode board,
they could do so WITHOUT complaints from others.
same with installing an 800 watt charging system !  and being absolutely
clueless as to how to fix it after the rider is stuck in bumfucegypt

same with converting an under tank M/C to the handlebars or changing a
clamshell to 4 or 6 pot calipers or that 1 guy who makes / machines a
clamshell to use brembos,  or the 6-8 guys who alter their bikes dynamics
and make/sell/provide  a top triple clamp other than the bmw standard top
triple clamp, use k&n filters, replacing final drive gear ratios bought off
ebay ........


same with adding a dyna point module,    or    using knobby tyres on a
street bike,    or a corbin seat vs a russell,     changing ergonomics
handlebars,     or having claude Stanley make a BMWs for wheel chair riders
where the rider controls his rig from his wheel chair while seated in the
sidecar, using LED's  or  HID's instead of conventional H4 bulbs because
some folks ride at night and our eyes are older and we want better vision,
 or wear inferior gear like Bilt products or 3rd hand 20yr old

What business is it of ANYONE ELSE'S  ??       ...........      get the
point yet
