[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Always carry a needle and floss for side wall tears, it also come in usefull for tiying stuff and of course floss them glossy white teeth after bugs and dirty get in them.

[@absolutemtb6696]

Electric Mountain Bike Network you didn’t mention one thing when inflating with co2 the tires that contain tubless sealant inside of them the sealant inside will be ruined cause they don’t mach so use just a regular mini pump

[@88vok]

to repair large holes (holes) use a car CORD patches (such are sold on automobile wounds or atomic service workshops, well, or on the Internet you can buy;)

[@davidrogers5447]

You said before each ride to check your sealant in tubeless setup. How do you do that? Are you suggesting taking the tyre off every time? don't you need to have a specialist pump to reseat the tyre?

[@brokenlegz]

Check for thorns in the tyre before putting the inner tube in.

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

Absolutely

[@stuartmoseley]

Great advise again but missed one big issue you if you revert to inserting a tube! You “MUST” check the rest of the tyre for thorns etc otherwise you could end with a tube that has multiple punctures as soon as you inflate it! #madethatmistake #skoolboyerror

[@markbennett5615]

Really useful advice but if you have to put an inner-tube in a previously tubeless tyre don't forget to check the inside of whole tyre for embedded thorns, glass or nails or you'll just end up puncturing your new tube

[@embn]

Great suggestion Mark, yes, this sucks if this happens! 👍

[@Ruffest]

When your putting the tyre on make sure the bead is in the center of the rim. Makes it loads easier to put the tyre back on.

[@mykigs]

Great vid. My top tip: Be careful when using the reamer (is that how you spell reamer?) so as not to damage the rim tape. Go in at 45 degrees to avoid hitting the rim.

[@seakayak4425]

Very helpful,wondered about this since going tubeless.

[@graysquirreltreeservice7299]

Just rode 2020 levo 😁😁😁wow did twice the miles in my same ride time, jumping off shit that I never thought

[@mikecol99]

What about those round rubber plugs (with metal point)....are they any good? When would you use those?

[@michael_the_chef]

Im running a downhill tube (heavy and thick) inside a dhf with dh casing, got no punctures or snakebites so far

[@jayhoughton4174]

Actually had another thought, you mentioned that the sealant will need renewing every 2 - 3 months, should I be cleaning out the old sealant at some point? I saw that Muc-Off has a new sealant remover out, but are the common sealant removers available that will also do the job or is it a case of rubbing and scrubbing the old sealant off?

[@philippasion8624]

Yes it new tech.that answer your problem about a flat tire from tubeless ,converted to inner tubing its nice...love your info...

[@richardzx9]

When I repair my motorcycle tyres I put a generous amount of rubber solution on the plug before inserting it. I cant see that pouring it on the the repair area afterwards will be of much use. Some great tips here though, Thanks!

[@jcheco59]

Because the weight is not a concerns like in regular bikes, what do you think of thTannus Armour inserts? I know is not a repair, but I think should save must if not all repair needs

[@frederickhartray8364]

If you get the tire boot in there, can you use tubeless sealant? What about using patches on the inside of the tire on small holes?

[@ScoobySTi777]

I got my first flat on my Haibike last night. Breaking the seal on my tubeless tire,to put tube in,was a job for Hercules. I had to stand on the tyre and pull the wheel off the tyre. Is there an easier way?

[@Erafune]

Omg that's hilarious! Makes me scared.

[@5492sparky]

Great tips Chris.

[@MohaPlaban]

Hi, why can't use tyre gel? I use that for my motorcycle tyre

[@charlesstenner7526]

When you are filming on the trails do you close the trail so no one comes up behind you?

[@alexcampbell5371]

plugs in my experience on vehicles have never failed before tire was worn.

[@grabie2]

[@toth.42]

Why is an inner tybe needed with the TB-2, can it not handle tubeless riding?

[@briansmith5810]

Can you tell me how to buy a charger 4 a E VOYAGER PRO RIDER, I have bought the bike off a m8 an my carer has been everywhere but alas I am disabled and Suffer from copd PLEASE HELP

[@jayhoughton4174]

great video - quick question re- the CO2 inflator, is it true that the CO2 will leak out through the tyre overnight, so you'll need to top up with a track pump the next day?

[@marjanmayer]

Jay Houghton yea its true you have to pump it up with air later

[@jayhoughton4174]

cheers @@marjanmayer

[@TheWebstaff]

Air leaks out too. Eventually if you top it up enough you have pure nitrogen in your tyres!

[@dannysprague3690]

Can you show exactly how to use co2 and mic off bam

[@drjarvis2003]

How do you deal with an insert? Maybe use Gup !

[@embn]

Hey, if you are using an insert and get a larger hole you can plug it just as Chris did in this video. If you are running an insert because you are riding rough terrain we would also suggest using a downhill specific sealant or you can add ground pepper to your sealant for a great DIY hack! Henry over on GMBN Tech made a great in-depth video on this 👉 gmbn.tech/HenrysTubelessHacks .

[@Snipeonz]

@@embn What's a downhill specific sealant? Or do you mean race sealant?

[@TheWebstaff]

Gorilla tape + inner tube + tyre levers + co2 pump combo. And co2 go for non threaded type if you want to save a few quid. I go with tape over anything else as it has 101 other uses.

[@tobyehillier]

Set light to the ends of the repair bungs using a lighter

[@DEISE01able]

It is a good quality bike

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

Also take some disposable gloves with you so I know that Sealant stuff is all over the place it won’t be on your hands the rest of the ride

[@cwsmith17]

Valve Core tool because those stupid valves can get loose at the worst time on the side of a trail

[@inspiredtotired8369]

"Get your prong out" (c) Chris Smith 2019 ;-)

[@rikaustin5944]

So much easier to just use tubes 🤷‍♂️

[@mozzjones6943]

Use nitrous oxide for those who want to save some weight... And have a giggle

[@tomwebber9936]

I have used nitrogen (not nitrous oxide lol) in sus forks before and it has benifits, its pressure varies less with temp changes, it is less reactive to the materials used like alloy, rubber in fact pretty much anything bikes are built from, and yeah I guess it is a little bit lighter. The Nissan GTR uses Nitrogen filled tyres for heat stability and it is widely used in aircraft.

[@CurvedSlightly]

Don't pinch the inner tube in the rim

[@techtitanuk5609]

I don't ride for fun I use to get to work

[@specialized29er86]

No thanks only thorn resistant tubes and the green slime for me. Goat burrs can fark you day, took a screw lately and found I'd had 100 prickles and not one puncture.

[@jeffschedler1461]

That is spelled "TIRE"

[@harveyblackaby6489]

There is 0 difference to doing that on a mtb not a e mtb so why make a vid on it if there is one on gmbn

[@patrickkealy4387]

Forget all this nonsense and just pony up the cash and have Tannus Armour Tire Liners installed in your tires. Tubed or Tubeless makes no difference, there is simply nothing in the market that does the job as good as these protectors. And the best part, should that very rare instance happen and you do get a puncture you still ride home without damaging your rims. Why bother with carrying your entire repair getup if you have Tannus Armour?
