Before heading to Tunisia I had to gave up on the tubeless completely. Both front & rear wheel developed some kind of leak. I was forced to put the tubes over the tubeless solutions (OutEx front & 3M back) and I've done about 15 000km on tubes again including the Albania Rally 2022.

Now, back home, I decided to take off the enduro tires and try to fix at least the rear wheel tubeless solution which is using 1mm 3M tape. 

Good news is that the rear wheel just needed another layer of the 3M tape and is not fully air tight and back to tubeless. Which is awesome.

The bad news is that the damage to the front rim during my travels and rally (mind that I had to fix it already once) just makes any tubeless impossible. The rim is so deformed that the tire does not seal around the bead.

So I decided to take off the OutEx sealing tape and I uncovered huge amount of corrosion on my front rim. I'd say almost shocking amount of it considering it's 3 years old.
