Tubliss with dinged rim

[GMP]

Well, out jammin' today in the woods really diggin' my new front Tubliss and M59 tire. Approching this small but steep hill, gassing it and wham, the front wheel kicked up a big square edge rock that jacked up the rear and almost sent me over the bars. Nice ding in the rim, at least 1/4" off the bead of the tire. I had planned to go Tubliss on this rear wheel as well, but not sure if it will work now. Anyone mount one on a dinged rim? I'm going to try and knock it out but it never comes out clean. I miss my old shoulderless Dirt Stars.

Should be no problem, the new trick now is to add a little slime, that should help.
Also, the hoop helps seal the tire's air chamber between the tire and the hoop not only the tire and the rim.

I got it fixed up pretty good today. Really hard to tell unless you look close or run your hand over the rim. Should be fine.

Also, when I did my front Tubliss I had a lot of trouble with a slow leak, and after four tries I was frustrated and going to cheat by going the slime route but there had to be a reason for the leak. Looking closely with a magnifier I found some mold flashing in the seal area of the liner over a two inch length. Tweezers and a razor blade removed this and no more leak.
