Hey guys,
I know there's been a lot of debate about the what and why's of sealing wheels but I thought I would post up how I did my wheels recently incase there are any others on the board that wanted to give it a try. I used a marine grade silicone I got from west marine used the whole tube right over the exsisting tube strip. The reasoning being I figured if I wanted to redo it, I could just cut the strip right across and peel back the whole thing, also with the rim strip in place you can still adjust the spokes.
so clean the rim, spread on the silicone and let dry for 24 hours,
I also bought this 90 degree stem at yoyodyne.com which is really slick
