How And When To Replace Tyre Sealant In Mountain Bike Wheels | The Tubeless Refresh

[@cccpkingu]

Ya sossig!

[@davidmorris8121]

My first tubeless set-up was with a set of Bontrager XR2s, with Stans sealant. They lasted 3 years, & only punctured ONCE, when the tyres were COMPLETELY worn (rear)! Tubeless has been mega for me, & is worth all the faff to set-up!

[@rdx1419]

XR2s scare me. I have crashed more in my three months of owning those tires than I have in my whole 4+ years racing

[@hubdeep9452]

I haven't changed the Stan's sealant in my tyres for 10 months. The other day I pulled a thorn out and to my relief it still sealed. They're not even tubeless rims 😅

[@kevinbowe]

I have never heard of Glue and Sealant Remover. Thanks for sharing. -- I have a 'mess' the previous owner made. This product will help me out. -- The bike has a set of tires/wheels, that the previous owner, set up tubeless but they simply leak air no matter what I try. -- I intend on converting them back to tubes and use them for commuting. This product looks like it will clean the wheels and tires so I can install new tubes in a clean tire/wheel. No nasty/sticky leftovers.

[@smokedsalmon3907]

I just continue to add sealant to the old dried stuff and add more pieces of tape over any sections that don't look good. This seems like the smarter way to do it.

[@khchoi2012]

That means eventually you fill the whole tyre with sealant!

[@Philatlondon1]

Really helpful. I've just gone tubeless on some 'tubeless ready' Racing Ralphs. They were so floppy on the rim it was impossible using a track pump and I had to buy a new pump, use a couple of extra wraps of duct tape over the top of my Muc-Off tape. And they seeped sealant from the side walls, so not convinced of the tubeless ready claims. However, I've left them 24 hours and they seem to be staying up now. I hope the effort is worth it.

[@rupedog]

I just scoop out the old sealant from tyre I'm taking off, pour into tyre going on, top up a little (10-20ml) as necessary, wipe clean inside old tyre with a rag. Simples! But thats because I use Slime STR premium tubeless sealant... doesn't dry out between twice yearly seasonal tyre swap, so unlike all the latex with ammonia based ones, zero maintenance! And co2 safe!

[@ltrtg13]

So far I have kept my tubeless sealant in my tyres by not puncturing and not using my bike as much as I have done. Finally converted to tubeless. Not long before this frigging COVID19 lockdown.

[@lfcgatti]

Hello. My question is: How do we clean the sealant glued inside the tire? Do we need to clean it? Thank you very much in advance!

[@Ricochetmex]

lfcg73 I tried it once and didn’t finish the job, it was too time consuming. Then I read that it’s not recommended because is too difficult, you can damage the inside of the tyres and unplug holes that the sealant has already seal. But I don’t know if that glue remover makes it easier...

[@karsonranck6185]

This guy was fun. Great to watch 👍🏼

[@larshalstrom3223]

I've used a rubber racquet ball and rubbed off the sealant off the beads in about 15 minutes with it.

[@khchoi2012]

I've just tried a normal hand washing nylon brush this afternoon but ended up with a wire brush to remove any congealed sealant on the inside of the tyre.

[@BushcraftAI]

I love you guys contents with the sense of humor : )

[@niklasdr]

So, how were you able to get sealant out from inside the rim? Where the sealant had started to come out through spoke holes and then inside between the spoke holes?

[@MTBinKY]

That's what I'm wondering, too.

[@niklasdr]

Bob Baldridge I thought it sounded like he was going to explain how to do this part, but no 😆

[@ivanperica3731]

I usually paid 1.5 € for a valve core this ebay tip never came across my mind thanks my dudes!

[@TrailPOV]

[@EpicEvolution]

Tip for weight weenies. One of my friends invented this. He set up wheel with inverted tyre and camera and then inflated it. If you do so, it's much more easier to get out old sealant using sand paper.

[@peterlang5047]

Всякие байки oh so inflate the wheel inside out just to get the sealant off? That’s pretty smart

[@tychoMX]

That's pretty clever. I try to clean up CX tires from last season and they are sometimes a mess.

[@RalphIvanDelaTonga]

Can I clean the junk in the tire from the dried up sealant. Of should I leave it in the tire

[@p0t4toePotato]

had put on brand new tires, after 2 weeks of riding the rear wheel had so many punctures that when i changed tires it was completely dry, the front wheel still had a decent amount of liquid sealant. now i managed to spray lubricant on my brake disk and am out of degreaser, gotta go buy a can...

[@rp003.0]

one of those weeks huh? happens to the best of us cheers 😂

[@ma14.27]

Just converted a MBT to tubeless for the first time, the rear tyre works perfectly, but the front tyre is losing air through the spoke holes. :( Thanks for the video, I at least know how to fix it now.

[@danielleinad5135]

Ahhh thanks.. now I get it :D I didnt destroy my inner tube, just the valve. Cause I have the Tyre Sealant in the tyres, which makes it automatically tubeless. But then I dont understand why they let me buy an inner tube, when I dont need them.

[@povteer]

exactly the video i need after 2 months of home quarantine bike is stuck, probably need to check the sealant

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Do you need a special pump to seat the tubeless tires? Also wondering, my RaceFace rims came taped from the factory. Should that tape be removed when cleaning the inside as shown in this video, or can the factory tape stay in place and reused?

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I feel the 2-4 oz recomendation does not apply to any larger mountain bike tire. It offers poor protection and dries out even faster. I use 6 ounces on any tire over 1.95 width.

[@okidoke4822]

"Deblaked" i like it.

[@pickleboy1600]

Hey yall so for my tyres do i need to replace the rim tape and do i even need to take it off if im just replacing the sealant?

I had a punture on my new maxxis DHR tubeless set up with sealant, need to know if i want to keep using the same tire do i need to go now with tube?

[@richjones2767]

The muc off and other valves come with a few different seals, which one should you use, when and why?

[@RocketMagnetUK]

Depends on your rim profile and the best fit with the valve seal, so take a look at your wheel and/or check out the original valve seal shapes if it came with them. A small patch of innertube with a small hole pushed over the valve before you put it in the wheel can get you by sometimes and make up for a poor seal but this is bodging it. At the end of the day a selection of valves with different profiles is always handy to have IMO.

[@jake30966]

Hi , I have put gorilla tape and the plastic rim tape on my wheel and blew it up and tested it in bath of water and there's air coming out my spokes , I already had done wheel and it went flat after 1 day and it was same thing air coming out of spokes , what am I doing wrong ?

[@Bithu]

Riding today I lost a load of tire pressure, I thought it was just a big burp (was hero dirt, much more traction and schralps than usual in dry old western aus). Chucked some air in, kept riding, got home and washed bike to find air leaking out between the rim and the tire. There is slight damage to the tire on the sidewall there, none on the rim. Any idea what could have happened before I pull it appart?

[@nikounourbakhsh8433]

My best guess is it was an old tire on top of a big burp cus the bead likes to get wear when the tire gets old and a big burp could pull it off some of the tire. I am just realizing this is two years late lmao.

[@danielg.3992]

Is it better to run tubeless if your just casually riding and from time to time somewhat gnarly trails? Or just keep the tube?

[@simonarends7802]

It's always lighter than an inner tube and you can start playing around with tire pressures even tho you are not getting a lot of flats at the moment.

[@FIGHTTHECABLE]

Yeah easy with no cush core inside. Try getting a magic marry tyre off that has wintered in tyre sealant with cush core on a DT Swiss carbon rim. Took me 1 hour atleast to change 1 Tyre. But thanks for that sealant remover tip, I will apply next time

No. You dont have to do that. Only if the wheel isn't in use. And you most likely won't even have a tyre on. :)

[@keithboone4800]

Why not pour it in before seating the tire?

[@lukemtb6800]

Would you know why my tyre keeps burping? I'm running a michelin wild am 27.5x2.8 on nukeproof horizon wheels 18psi. I'm only 10 stone. Wheels and tyres are both brand new and after a spirited ride I have signs of sealant around the bead. If I put the pressure up it cures the problem but the tyres are way to hard. #askgmbntech

[@givemeakidney]

I'd suggest you'll need thicker side walls to run 18psi without a tyre liner if you're hitting then hard.

[@rupedog]

That's very low pressure for that size. Try also adding another single wrap of rim tape if running say 22psi doesn't help. 10st isnt super light, its about low average, especially by the time u add weight of water on bike/urself

[@lukemtb6800]

@@rupedog most plus sized tyres run around 14 psi

It'll leave a film, also you would have to first remove your disc to make sure you don't get any on that! A few brands such as our partner Muc Off have products that specifically remove tubeless gunk and rim tape stickyness!

[@rupedog]

Or...just use Slime STR premium tubeless sealant and avoid all that cleaning... easily lasts a year even with limited riding, seals great for real world punctures. No faff, simplest least maintenance way for quality tubeless set-up.

[@rupedog]

Its co2 safe as well. And no ammonia.

How hard did Blake throw the wheel? All the black rubber has come off the tyre and left those god awful later 90's tyres with the weird sidewall colour. Come to think of it. Doesn't the yellow stripe on Blake's wheel make it a Mavic wheel?

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

I love how in all theses type of videos they just pinch the tyre off the rim with their fingers. But in reality you end up using a Vice.😁

[@niklasdr]

KENNY MTB you do know it actually is super easy as long as you sit the rest of the tire in the trough in the middle of the rim bed.

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

Niklas Du Rietz Bollocks I have just done both my wheels and that’s the problem getting the first part of the bead into the rim bed. Yes it easy after that.

[@niklasdr]

KENNY MTB I just did two wheels a couple of days ago and it was easy again. One was a 27 Specialized Butcher 2,8 Grid on a Royal Traverse (29 mm inner width rim) with CushCore; the other a 29 e13 TRS+ rim with a TRSr tire

[@niklasdr]

KENNY MTB I just put the wheel to my chest and see to that I stretch the tire bead inside that trough in the rim bed. Another way is to use their tip to stand the wheel on the floor and push a soft hammer handle down on the rim with your foot to be able to pull and keep the tire stretched inside the rim trough/bed. And of course where the valve is will always be the last part to put the tire on or off as it would otherwise keep the tire to be able to sit in the rim trough/bed there. Good luck!

No issues with assembly for me kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

[@carlingas666]

Not the same wheel that was tossed.

[@spfttt]

The answer to this question is: NEVER. Because, you want to never put it in in the first place. Sealants like Slime etc. were NOT intended to be used as preventatives. They were designed to be used only AFTER you get a flat, as a way to get going again quickly. If you just dump Slime in your tires, it will eventually get into the air valve. When you add air to your tire and open the valve, if some slime gets in there as a bit of air escapes, it will dry in there, and prevent the valve core from closing completely. You will have a slow leak. Very few people suspect a leaking valve core and will be puzzled for quite some time, looking for a leak.

[@tychoMX]

Respectfully disagree. Even Slime does - which is why they sell you Slime inner tubes preloaded with the sealant inside.

[@spfttt]
