I have a matching set of TR-6 wheels that I want to put on my TR-3. I took the wheels to my local powder coater and had them sand blasted and coated. When I went to pick up my wheels after they were finished I noticed that they had removed the rubber bands that are on the inside of the rim that covers the spokes. They said that when they removed the bands that they had to cut them off so I now do not have any bands. I have heard that I can cover the inside of the rim with electrical tape to protect my inner tubes from being cut by the ends of the spokes.. I also heard that I could silicone these holes to both protect the tubes but also they would seal the spokes so that you could run tubeless. I could use some advice before I go any further?
