cleaning up two piece rims

[four_by_ken]

I figure since I am going to put on new tire, I will clean up the two piece rims as good as possible to stop leaks. I was planning on lightly sanding all mating surfaces and then using liberal amounts of silicone to help stop leaks when I put them back together. Or am I just better off going with tubes in them?

Thanks

your on the right track. tubes i do not recomend the have a habbit of slipping in the tire and ripping stems out. i used to do what your describing with my 2 piece rims and i never had a leak
