Rim is definitely worse than I thought.
That being said, if the tape was a few mm wider and overlapped where the bead of the tire seats it likely would have held pressure though.
Next go round, run a tad wider tape so it’s at least a mm or two up the inner side wall of the rim. I tape everything this way, especially because it seems like at least 75% of the wheels we see are pinned and have a gap that will leak if too narrow tape is used.
I really want to replace my wheelset because I hate this novatec rear hub, but I’ll probably just replace the rim because money 
Get a Race Face ARCoffset HD
Was thinking of Spank vibrocore, but I’d try the Race Face.
Currently trolling pinkbike for wheelsets, sigh.
The Arc builds into an insanely stiff wheel.
I built some pre race face Easton ARCs for Ash’s bike and they built up real nice. Are the race face ARCs the exact same rim?
The newer ones are offset.
Well they’re not the heavy duty rims but I think I did OK
Hubs convertible to 240/350 internals!
The 370 upgrade is great, but requires two different drive ring removal tools, and the required parts are costly (unless you already have a driver and some star ratchets kicking around). It’s a great option for when the pawl driver blows up.
I am contemplating doing that upgrade on my trance and Enduro, but, yeah, money. Shop does have both drive ring tools, though.
We’ve been doing a few on new bikes, where the down-spec to 370 was one of the cost cutting measures on an otherwise nicely spec’d bike. Not much additional cost in the whole scheme of a new MTB to bring the hub up to level.
Looks like I won’t be doing it anytime soon anyway because the internal spline ring thing is out of stock everywhere but Switzerland.
@plop or @frank_doktor y’all know if the 240/350/440 share not only the same star-ratchet kit but also all the other internals necessary for conversion?
New internals:
240 Ring Nut M34x1mm : 7613052165578
240s Shim Ring: 7613052115252
240 Aluminum Bushing: 840121029814
They have to share the ring nut, because then the star ratchet wouldn’t engage, but I wonder about the shim ring and the bushing.
I imagine you pulled that list from this video.
Sure did!
If the wheel is used, you’ll likely need to add an impact wrench and a DT tool modded to fit in one. You might luck out. But the ratchet ring is usually absurdly tight in there.
I love that in the video dude acts like it’s barely hand tight in there.
well that’s an argument for doing it before I ride the wheels if I’ve ever heard one!
I can loan you the tools and I have a box of spare ratchets and springs.
If you get the wheels let me know.
I’m gonna go ahead and say send yr shit bradens way
