There was a company in the US (Jupiter Wheels I think) who made tubeless rims that took blind thread-hole spoke nipples that sealed into the rim with O-rings. Clever kit. Designed by an aerospace dude.

Thanks PB. Changing tyres on my spoked rims "750" I put the wheel on the balancing jibber and check and adjust any run out, then new tyre back on and static balance.That's pretty funky design work there BJ!
Best mark the bucket with ‘Tyre changer kit’ otherwise when you’re dead, someone will see the bucket of metal cutoffs and bin the lot.I designed and built this tyre changer for my 3 bikes tyres a few years ago. Has to be clamped to the beach. Does 17" and 18" rims. The bead breaking extension handle is also the duck head extension handle. It all disassembles, unbolts and fits into a square bucket for easy storage in the workshop. Works a treat.
They'll probably bin it anyway ... what use is that to the inheritors?!Best mark the bucket with ‘Tyre changer kit’ otherwise when you’re dead, someone will see the bucket of metal cutoffs and bin the lot.
