Outex tubless system

[springer]

 Has anyone tried the Outex tubless system on their spoke rims? Suppose to do away with the need for a tube.

Unfortunately the company Tubeless does not make their system in the Africa Twin rim sizes. So I am thinking about trying the Outex system. So if anyone has tried it, post up. Tell me (and I am sure the others) what you think of it, any problems you have had extra.

For those who have no idea what I am babbling about, here is a installation video;

Sumo guys have been doing this for years using Membrane tap or just covering spokes with silicone.

I did it, it's awesome!

if you ride offroad though, dirt/sand will work it's way in between the bead of the tire and the rim, eventually leading to a slow leak. the tire full Lecce's left/right and the dirt creeps in.

if you're dual sporting with >15psi, and clean the rim/tire flawlessly it might last a season without getting too much dirt in to leak. I run around 8psi and the trials tires flex a bunch, so it leaks within a couple of weeks.

 Thanks Kyle! With the Africa Twin I doubt I would get lower than 25psi if that. For me it is a fire-road/dirt road bike. Just looking for away to do away with the tube.  Flats are much easier to fix with out a tube.  :)
The XR650L is another matter. It is a fat slow pig...sorta like me  :D , but it is a lot easier to pick-up than the twin.  ;)
The rims do have rim-locks though. I imagine that could be another source for an air leak.  Did the bike you had the Outex system on have rim-locks?

m jinxing myself, but I have about one flat a year running 8-12psi in cheap regular strength tubes. at 20psi I could probably turn the tube into powder before it flatted from rocks n stuff. if you're not hunting offroad traction in the single digit psi range, skip it
