There doesn't seem to be much MTB traffic here at BF (maybe they're all at mtbr?), but just like around here we get all kinds of guys that homebrew their own chain lube, there are a lot of mountain bikers who homebrew their own tubeless strips and sealants. For instance, someday I think I'll try this setup with gorilla tape, a (removable-core) valve cut from a regular tube, and sealant made from caulk, slime, and antifreeze.
