ABSTRACT:
A seal for sealing openings in a wheel rim for a spoked wheel and a method of sealing a spoked wheel are disclosed. The seal has a flexible solid adhesive body and a polymer cover. The seal is applied at ambient temperatures and remains flexible. The seal is wrapped around a wheel rim over openings in the wheel rim of a spoked or wire wheel to seal the openings so that the wheel can be used with a tubeless tire without leakage of air.
