Multiple rim locks

I see a lot of people recommending 2 or more rim locks on the rear for harder enduro especially when running softer or older mousses

I don't really want to drill my brand new talon wheels so thought about trying a rim lock that has a valve built-in, so far i can only find the one tubliss makes.
First of all, can anyone see any potential issues with this and is it a good idea?

i like to have a valve so i can sit the bead of the tyre on the rim correctly.

I have two sets, one is a fucked and split 120 mousse in a 140 tyre and has only one rimlock. It has spun before however that is a pretty extreme level of mousse and the rimlock was able to be tightened after (not sure if spinning loosened it or the loosening caused spinning). The other set have two rim locks and same 120/140 setup - the only difference is it’s harder to remove/install at new tyre time.

so I’d say not to bother.

However… If you are doing hard enduro and really do want two rim locks - your rims will get battered anyway (As per the rest of the bike) so I’d say drill the talons a few spokes away from a current hole for the valve and use a proper rim lock In both original holes.

I just cut the valve out of a standard inner tube to use to seat my mouses. Just leave an inch all around and it seals well.
