Saw this home brew solution for tubless tires in case you guys are interested.

Quote:
The recipe is very simple. Two components. Everyone that thinks it's complicated or is using more than two components is making it unnecessarily complicated, period. Though I have experimented, my basic sealant recipe has not changed in more than eight years, because it doesn't need to be. As G-T stated, we don't deal with flat tires anymore. That is success. We run whatever tires we want, for the most part. I consider that success.

The recipe is 3oz windshield washer fluid mixed with 3 tsp of Mold Builder liquid latex (which you can purchase at Michael's craft stores). That will likely give you a little more than one 29er tire of sealant, but sometimes I'll just pour the whole thing in, since you do sometimes lose sealant as you bead the tire up.

There you go... Have fun.

Thanks for the shout out, Guitar Ted!

Cheers,
MG

Yeah - lotta home brew out there.

Do not use automotive fix-a-flat. It'll work, but you won't like it. That's all I'm going to say.
