I'm curious what the advantage would be to not using the the rim tape? is it
just a cost cutting measure hence the "ghetto" title? After using the
stans rim tape i was impressed with how easy it was and good the seal was.

as a former "nopo" resident i'm all for "ghettofying" and "gerry
riggin"(sp?) stuff but when it comes to tire reliability i draw the line.
i'm curious to hear the responses.
