is the rim strip nessessary

Yes, I always recommend a rim strip with any common type of rim where the tube will be exposed to holes, spoke ends, or spoke nipples exposed on contacting surface of the rim.

Yes, install it like a normal tube. Remember that these thorn resistant tubes are mostly thicker only towards the tire-road contact sides.

There is no black strip down to the tip. It is all stainless steel and put together with what I perceive as spot weld. No plastic on the tip as well. It is very well made. The rim is hard plastic but the poured over water never rises to that level.

Yes. You can see how people have done this on YouTube. Most people do keep a fan though. I bout the kit to go over a BioCube 8 that I modded to be rimless and so far it's great.

As long as you both have tubeless rims and tires, you're good to go. If the rims are in bad shape, you might need tubes, good luck

hi there. This kit converts probably up to 5 (26") rims. At least 4 but the tape is slim. Also, depending on what size wheel you have and how large the hole diameters are within the rim. You may have to double up on the tape to ensure it is sealed but I wouldn't do that and overlay the tape. Therefore, you may have to end up buying a wider rim tape. Usually the black "rim" rubberized strip does not work but again, it depends on what rim you have. Feel free to ask more questions. I know it's confusing...

Anything is possible in life; however. I honestly don't see this happening. I've had mine since August and I don't see any wear on my rim at all. I'm careful when I lift up the front bar when I clean it several times per week. If you let the bar drop on the bowl's rim, it could possibly chip, crack or even break the bowl. There isn't any padding and I personally don't see the need for any.

No, this version is for disc brakes only. It does not have the upper posts to attach rim brakes.

No Rims, it is assumed you would be putting the tire on your existing rims, by the way the tire is very good!

No, It' just a regular MTB Rim. I've heard of people using special tape to convert into a tubeless system, but have never tried it myself, and don't really care to.

This is my boyfriend's response.Yes. The answer is yes.They must be installed by using an external air supply. Also my front suspension is not an air suspension so the front must be changed to handle that size rim.

Yes it has slits at the top around the rim. It has held up extremely well since I purchased it. No regrets here!

I would say no. The rim of rounded. I installed my as an under mount with granite.

No, because the rail goes over the bolt a stripper clip wont fit much like if you put a scope on your rifle.

I would say no. I had to replace whole rear wheel unit for a flat and when I had apart it seems it was a sealed piece. it was only 30 bucks so I bought the whole thing

No these are for rim brakes only. A disk brake wheel is built with a specialized hub to which the braking disk is attached.

The rim is made if stainless steel so I think it could arc so I wouldn't try it.Nicholas
