Going to try this out thanks

Great!! man, you are the boss!!

It's best not to do this on your own. Get a friend to hold the wheel tightly, and as you apply the tape pull it hard to get it to stretch a tiny bit so it doesn't get any wrinkles, especially on the front wheels where the tape is sitting in a concave space. Also, those valves don't work on curved profile rims unless you replace the supplied weedy little O-ring with a much thicker one. They're designed to go on a flat rim surface (like the rear wheel). Just replace the O-ring with a decent thickness one or a rubber washer and it should seal properly against the outside of the rim.

Hello , thanks for the vedio , do you use same tire again , or you change it to another type of tire ?

TAPE 3M 4412N......NAUTICA TAPE.......GOOD VIDEO,AGUSTIN....

If the nut on the air fill valve would unscrew during rotation, tire would deflate; this type of valve stem is substandard, the nut should apply from out side, using a shoulder type valve assembly in it's place.

where do you find the tape? and silicone glue to go around the rivets?

Hi! Congrats! What's the tape (green) do use before?

it should be overlapped at the valve hole. not end to end, the leading edge is liable to peel up.

Common sense says you would overlap more as well.

That valve stem needs a washer and seal on the I side of the rim. Poor job.

@@johnmeurer4780 Yeah I had Dubya relace the stock wheels for my sxv550 they are BEHR rims on stock hubs, The stock spokes were ugly and the nipples showed some corrosion. I wanted a solid set of spokes true and tight before I taped them tubless. I had custom double butted 8-9-8g rear spokes made and custom 9-10-9g front spokes made by buchannons (my fetish for double butted spokes comes from bicycles where straight gauge are not considered classy [hell youll find many stock honda spokes are actually single butted]), then used dubya spline drive nipples. I had dubya lace them as like I said I wanted them ROCK solid before taping.... they screwed it up, could have done that all on my own lol. Different from this video i used a gasket punch set to cut out 3/4" circles of 10mil christies pvc pipe wrap tape which i placed over each nipple before taping. before removing the 3m 4412N for the redishing I gave some nipples a twirl, and the christies tape allowed to nipple to spin without disturbing anything.

@@bojangles3147 The Gorilla tape that I have used was 50mm wide. I put the first strip around the rim over the spoke screws. I then put another layer overlapping at the edge right around on the left side of the first tape and did the same on the right side. I have changed the tire once since I did this and the tape is still in perfect condition. When I did this I could not find the perfect right size of Schrader valve and so I had to file the hole in the rim slightly bigger by about 2 or 3 thousands of an inch. Just a tiny bit and then the valve thread went through with no trouble.

Hi again and I just want to say now that I am a 66 year old man and I only ride my motorcycle on fine days and not in the rain. If I was to do this job again I would put the silicon paste around the spoke nipples and let it dry before putting the tape over them around the rim. The reason for this silicon is to stop any water that may come in from outside the rim down the spoke and in through the spoke nipple hole. If this happens then the silicon stops the water from getting under the tape. If you do a lot of riding in the rain or through water puddles you will really need the silicon around the spoke nipples under the tape.

Indonesian use another way, we use smaller inverted inner tire to seal the hole in the rim
