I seem to remember you called me stupid a couple of posts back. You're clearly knowledgeable about stuff - it would (in my opinion) be better and more helpful if you confined your comments to stuff you know about rather than slagging off long-time posters who have provided huge amounts of useful information here.

Sorry, when I read this line  "3mm of thread showing between nipples and hub" I assumed you didn't really know what you're talking about, (as there's no nipples or threads at the hub) and had written it using the full extent of your bike terminology.
Apparently I was wrong?

Not only that you can modify spoked wheels to take tubeless as I did on my Tiger 955i. As Rex says I do ride older bikes with spoked wheels / tubes but also like the security of tubeless.

And who are you calling stupid?

ps some pics of sealing....

Very nice too. 3mm spoke protrusion sounds fine to me, just trim them off with an angle grinder.

At last ,a dry day and off we go. The gearbox is described as close ratio, wow they were not kidding. No real idea of speed as no speedo or rev counter. All was going really well untill the rather dodgy thread on the gear change connector rod pulled out !! back home in 1st gear. Some smoke but not worth chasing a sub for. Geoff  PS 84 years off the road for the bike  55 years for me on two wheels!!
