A couple people asked to know what the people said about my question as to whether rim strips were necessary on a Ksyrium rim. So here is what I have been told by those that emailed me.
Those who said no rim strip necessary: 3
Those who said need rim strip to prevent burping and were currently riding wheels done this way: 3
Those who thought that it might be a good idea but weren't sure because they had no practical experience: 2
Many referenced the guys at Cyclepath who recommend the rim strips to prevent the burping on Non-Stans brand rims.
Those who said that didn't need a rim strip all had had success with out it, it wasn't a theoretical knowledge. One fellow is about my same weight so that bodes well.
Those how said it needed a rim strip for the most part seemed to rely on Cyclepath except for one fellow who had a bad experience without it.
So what am I going to do? Go the riskier route of course since I don't have any rim strips laying around.
If I have catastrophic event or it otherwise seems to burp too much, I will let you all know.

I am going to run Krysium Elite wheels with Hutchinson Bulldogs tires tubeless. Do I need rimstrips? I have the UST Valves and the Stans goop. Not sure why I need rim strips since there are no spoke holes on the rim. One guy I know said I need them. Another guy said no.
Thoughts? Thanks.
