Rim Conversion

So I got some Behr sumo rims on the ride and turns out they got
tubes in them. Since I'm predominantly on the pavement now, my
biggest enemy is nails and other road garbage. I've gotten 2
nails in my tires in about two weeks. Luckily the second one was
a shorty and didn't punch all the way thru. So I was thinking
about converting the rims I got to tubless rims. My buddy says
it's possible, but I'd be willing to hear some other suggestions
if ya'll got any.

It worked! ;D
used a couple layers of acrylic silicone on each nipple, bought
some sweet screw together valve stems and used some 3m sealing
tape. Been rolling on them for a couple days now. No more tubes
for me. :P

Seabeegt, if you are still around maybe you could point us to a
place that sells this 3M tape in a single roll. I am finding
many places but they want to sell an entire box.
For those looking, there are numerous widths and part numbers
for the 3M tape.
Also, there is the Outex kits available for around $125. :-\
