Mattfrox, what do you do about tubes in the double rim set up there? It looks like you have one innertube, hows that workout with the inside rims where the rims meet?

Ahh.. thats the secret!

Actually i do nothing. The tires inflate with regular tubes no problem.

Bikepacker67. Surely I would use the Surly rims. If they didn't cost $100 a piece.
