can just buy the bands and reuse my tubeless valves?Yea, I've recently done this setup on my Stumpy since I've been very happy with the fat bike conversion. I think this method is the best for a well sealed bead. Haven't had to do anything to the fat bike tires, just added more sealant.
Yea, I'm sure you could, any tubeless valve should work. I usually like to replace the valves though since over time the sealant does clog them up a bit. Just take your time on the install, don't rush it, or else you'll end up with a torn strip like the first time I did it. Good luck...can just buy the bands and reuse my tubeless valves?
for the price of the skinny strippers at $5 each, seems like the way to go instead of tape
Pulled the fat bike off the wall for the first time since Global Fatbike Day last year, front tire was low, rear was flat.
Pumped them up, and the fatty strippers did their job.

Hey Viper,
Just purchased these. Arrived in the mail yesterday. Will be converting tomorrow or Monday. Will keep you posted.
Nice, good luck! A year later for me and all I've had to do is add some sealant back in the fall.Hey Viper,
