Hey, Rube. Yeah, not a lot of MTB traffic. Maybe that will change? It appears that this site has grown in the last few years.
MTBR is an exceptional resource. I'm just not exactly fond of all the advertising.
Anyway, I've tried the homebrew method and I'm content with buying rim strips. G-Tape leaves a pretty nasty residue if you ever have to remove it. As far as sealants, I'm still big fan of Stan's.
