DT Swiss rims, so must be Stan's rim strips. From what I've read, burping that bad is the result of the wrong rim strips or not enough layers or rim to rim coverage.  My take is that Stan's relies on the strips under the bead to wedge the tire bead against the clincher part of the wheel.

So we all agree on the importance of the bead/wheel interface? That is the crux of all of the "tubeless ready" products that may not be leak proof or be UST certified, but do have the UST bead design.


Bushwacka, would you say that the ghetto tubeless works better than Stan's rim strips??
