If you can't source those the Mavic ones do a good job too. paragonjeff: I highly recommend using Bontrager valve stems. If you can’t source those the Mavic ones do a good job too.

I agree that the Gordo rims make riding ridiculously fun. :) paragon jeff: While I haven’t tried to do what you are doing, I have heard that the tape has to be run up right to the bead seats which may require two rounds, (but again, I have not tried this) If and when I get around to doing up a set for myself, it won’t be with Stan’s tape, but with a “ghetto” system that I was turned on to by a friend that I feel gives a better chance for success than Stan’s yellow tape does.

Ok, After trying a few different tires on the Gordos i have decided to go with the Conti MK 2.2 out front and a Barro race 2.0 in back. The Gordos make these tires really wide and flat :-). I used the Stans 25mm yellow tape as my rim strip and i would like to try a tubless system. what do you think about a stans valve stem and yellow tape + stans sealent or should i go with a rim strip with a valve stem attached? Also, these rims are so much fun to ride, best thing i have done to the bike so far! thanks hey Ted, hope all is well with you.
