I've had the outex kit laying around for a while now and with the tires needing replacement I got around to fitting the kit.
I did both rear and front, since both where included in the kit.
It was a pit fiddly and took a couple of hours, but I'm glad the tape is in place.
Now at least when I have a flat I should be on the road again within a couple of minutes.
The materials seem of a decent quality and the instructions included are very clear.
I gave the rims a proper clean and used a bit of sanding paper to smooth down one spot on both the rims where I suppose they are welded in the factory.
It probably wouldn't have really mattered since it was nicely between two spokes anyway.
After giving the inside of the rim a wipe down with brake cleaner I heated the surface up with a hairdryer, fitted the pre-cut nipple pieces followed by a double sided tape, which you really have only one chance at doing wright.
It looks a bit wrinkly at first, but up close you can see that the tape material is actually quite soft and glue-like so it adheres really well.
After that I pulled of the film on the double sided tape and put on the protective layer.
This is a noticeably tougher layer that, I suppose, could protect the first layer from being damaged during a puncture.
the valves are included and the valve for the front rim has a thicker rubber washer to compensate for the curve in the shape of the rim.
While fitting the tire I wasn't particularly careful but I did use quite a lot of tire soap to make the process as smooth as possible.
The next couple of days will tell me whether the tape will hold air, but I'm pretty confident it will.
As far as the lack of 'safety hump' on the front wheel, I don't really care.
As far as I can think, having a puncture with or without a tube won't make a difference in that aspect.
If I notice any problems I'll be sure to keep you guys posted.
Here's some pics from the whole process:

Using the gloves that are included make it a lot easier:
A blunt object helps to get out the occasional air bubble:

The tape can't overlap, you have to cover the remaining gap with a 2nd patch:
All done, with new tires fitted:
