Rims suitable for going tubeless...

Pang will do the job
We had to remove it, clean it all up again and blow it on with a 100 litre booster reservoir at 10bar 

Pang; ok, good to know. 140psi seems a trifle excessive!!!

That might have been a little misleading. We used a large volume reservoir to ensure a sudden increase in casing pressure but at no time was pressure in the tyre in excess of 3 bar (45 psi). It's quite common practice, especially with truck tyres. Hope that clarifies.

Ah. You could always do it this way, of course.....

Me and  mixtures have a chequered history, so I'll skip the redneck method thanks.

Agreed. I wonder who would have thought up that way of doing it in the first place???

First place i saw that done was on Icelandic trucks they use on the glaciers, 24inch diameter, running a few psi of air to get traction on the ice, when they come off the rim that's the technique they use to get going again quickly.

Tubeless ag and construction equipment.  Literally can't do it any other way.

I've learned what brands of either to buy to get the "pop" needed versus some just go "whoof" and catch the tire on fire.

I put a rim from a 96 Trophy on my 96 Tiger, works pretty good, i also kept the original so i have 2 tires and rims for the rear.
the Trophy rim is a mag, so its not so good for rough off road stuff, but fine for gravel roads, even with a street tire.
