Any alternatives to Stan's (you know, cheaper but work just as well) out there? Just need something for the XC rig.

I approve!splat said:
DT Swiss makes a kit and sealant but I don't think it's cheaper.
Bah. I don't know why the stupid rim strips are 55$...
Maxxis tubless rim strips are only $5blue said:

Do they work as well as Stan's? Anyone know? If so...money!
Where can I find them? They're not on my Maxxis pro order form...
Edit: Score, nevermind, direct from Maxxis.

$55 should be for the whole kit. Rim strips, valves, and quart of sealant.blue said:
I am using Slime right now. So far so good. I was using Stans for the last 9 months before I sheared off the valve on a rock in Vietnam. Slime is way cheaper so.....

I have great luck with Maxxis strips. I ran over something with my front tire yesterday and Stan's sealed it, but I was leary on my run down. Wumpus had a wheel of mine on the back with latex/ammonia and it didn't seal well. I like stan's goop better. It was my first flat with Stan's. I didn't like hitting a downhill run I had rolled 10 times with a possibly leaky tire, so I am not sure I love tubeless on DH runs.

Stan's or a latex mix. I have used both successfully in the past.richcreek said:

Now to figure out the measurements on my rims...it's in MM, right? You'd think they'd make it easy...thats probably why they've discontinued them.

What rims??? If you need the DH1s, I have a pair I will send you.
Well, I'm questioning about my XC wheels, which are a Syncros Snapper (I think a Sun DS1 rim rebranded) and a WTB Powerbeam, however I figured I would order some for my DH bike too (WTB Speeddisc)...I just need to find a metric ruler.loco said:

style 26A2
This sounds nerdy, but BTI has rim measurements and they measure to scale on my monitor. I measured a DS-1 with a tape and got 8.5mm high and 16.5 wide. The 26A2 is 16.4mm x 8.6mm tall.
