Outex tubeless kit for wire wheels

[Tippie]

I just saw this Outex kit in the link Vince put up re frames in advrider.
Has anyone used it?
Plenty of our classic guys have used sikaflex but have also had to take off the bead grip rilling (or whatever it is called) to get a seal against the outside of the bead. The rims in the video I saw had smooth outer beads.

  I like the idea of tubeless for racing as the weight of the inner tube is lost - am using a Guzzi front wheel on my 860 - has the spokes going to an extra ledge on the rim leaving the centre solid.Plus I got it for under ?100 as some of the disc mounting threads were stripped! - Regards - Phil

Gotta be sure the rim is suitable for tubeless and has a 'lip' that prevents the bead from travelling inward.

Instead of Outex, I went with this stuff on the spoked rear rim of my KTM 950:

Have had it on for 2 seasons now (over 20,000 km) and it has not let me down.  $25 for supplies and maybe 30 min to install... very easy and successful conversion to tubeless.
