First Crash in 50 years - Could have been much worse! ATGATT for the win!

No, but i have a plan!

I like this tube to tubeless method. I have used a lot of 3M 5200. 5200 is an incredible adhesive. I have contemplated something like this for the F800GS. I was thinking of using one of my favorite sealing tape Eternabond-
I have used Eternabond for many things both recommended and not even thunk of with great success.
Thanks for posting the video.

Looks straight forward, although tedious. My one question is, what happens when I have to tighten a few spokes? It remains flexible. I wonder if it would tear the adhesive and cause a leak, or if the movement required to tighten a spoke is small enough to just flex it? I like the eternabond tape idea.

I guess I'm going to find out. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to cut through the tape, remove sealant, tighten the offending spoke, re-spray with contact cleaner, reglue, and then tape over the area. Time will tell.

May just be able to tighten the spoke, and the tape ensures no leaks.
