1. Is the Mukluk wheelset offset similar to a Pugs?
2. Anyone gone tubeless yet for your fat bike? Reading some posts on
MTBR about ghetto tubeless working.

1. Mukluk uses 135mm front, 170mm rear with zero offset.
2. I have read about the ghetto tubeless working as well and plan to try it out at some point. I need to track down a flexible adhesive that will keep the rim strip stuck to the rim and possible keep the tire stuck to the rim strip as well. Definitely worth trying I think.

For the adhesive for the rim strip - if you go Ghetto w/ a removable
core w/ a 20" tube and where the tire and tube overlap on the bead
then it shouldn't that keep the rim strip from moving? Or am I
missing your point (maybe confused)?

But we won't know until we try it...

(that I have seen) are somewhat recent and not much cold or snow
conditions with way low PSI. It would be nice if it works, but sure
would suck trying to put a tube in the cold if you burp and lose the
seal.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Do you sell a removable core 20" tube?
