How to Change a Tubeless Tyre

Not such a quick tip this time, however, we showed you how to change your inner tube ( • How to change an Inner... ) so here is how to change your tubeless tyre in a more feature length style.
Let us know which style of video you prefer in the comments below or if you have any ideas for videos you want to see, then you can also leave those.

That's a sure fire way of covering the place with sealant... might take a couple of go's. but eventually it'll all end in tears. Seat the tire bead on the rim by inflating the tyre first without sealant. If it won't seat properly (ie pop into place) use a mixture of washing up liquid with a little water to lubricate around the tire bead and rim and then re-inflate, this will make it much easier. Only once the tire bead is seated correctly all the way round on both sides of the rim are you ready to add the sealant. Remove the valve core, add sealant, install valve core and inflate. Rotate wheel on each side to let the sealant coat the tire bead and rim to create that air tight seal. Slightly longer process must much cleaner.

Good advice. If you can’t get the tire to seat, despite soapy water and tears, pop one side of the tire off, remove the valve and install an inner tube. Pump it up to 100psi/7bar and leave it overnight. Carefully push ONE side of the tire bead from its seat, leaving the other in place. Remove the tube, install the valve and try again. Soapy water if needed, shouldn’t require more tears.

I was going to comment the same: It always works better (with less risk of explosion) if you inflate the tyre without sealant first, as it allows the tyre bead to seat properly. If the tyre bead is particularly mis-shaped or kinked from being folded in the box, I may even leave it inflated for several hours or over night to allow the tyre bead to correct it self; then release the air, remove the valve core, insert sealant, etc. Personally, I prefer to put the wheel in a box or bag after attaching the pump to contain any potential mess, just in case of explosion when inflating, as I have seen tubeless sealant go everywhere a couple of times.

Well said - I was watching this, horrified and waiting for the sealant explosion... and then imagining all the of the punters at home who decorated their living rooms ;-)

Laymens terms….. thank you 👍🏻

[@rechiecebreros2350]

what kind of air pump are you using? it's quite difficult replacing a tubeless tyre using a normal air pump like mine, lol

[@shefce1]

Where did u get the pump

So how do you change the tire when you get a puncture if your 20 miles from nowheresville ??

[@Steph-wq9it]

Sort it after the long walk home!

[@buckshee]

I’m new to tubeless so excuse my ignorance but can any tyre be used with a tubeless setup? I used armadillo tyres before and would like to use them with my tubeless.

[@runbikeswim0411]

I need that pump

[@elfeggs]

Couldn't watch because of the distracting music ...

[@thomasmata5651]

Do you have to use that special air pump?

[@DennisKrger]

No, but it makes things easier. Without it, it can be hard to get the tyre to inflate fast enough to to seat and seal before the air escapes.

[@stevend7074]

Are you kidding me? This answered my question, though, thanks for the video! I'll stick with tubular tires!

[@jimontytanglin]

You missed out cleaning the valve tube after removing the core ( as I did) !!!!! I failed to inflate a few times until i noticed the bead was sitting on top of the valve on both sides, I had to loosen the valve , push it up and press the bead into the gap then tighten the valve again , the success . The rims are Campag. Shamal ultra tubeless and quite narrow. Hope the save you a lo of sweat and swearing Jim

Annoying background noise music. Trying to hear what you say & have to distinguish stupid loud background.

[@JamesBond-hy4kv]

My old sealant is like porridge 😭 how do you get that off 😂

[@justjase1576]

I think I'll stick to clinchers, this looks like a complete pain in the ass if I get a puncture in torrential rain in the middle of the night. It aint gonna seal very well. I appreciate the video though, thanks.

[@ESHANABROOK]

I was thinking the same thing, yikes. I will stick with my Continental Gaderskins and extra thick tubes.

[@kps2420]

this procedure in this video is the intial setup. once the tire is installed, fixing punctures on tubeless is much much easier than on tubular. you dont even have to take the wheel off, it takes like 5 seconds and you could do it underwater. look up dynaplug

[@justjase1576]

@@kps2420 Thanks - I will do that! I am now guilty of riding a gravel bike with tubeless and road bike...

[@selinov]

What about draining the sealant?

[@jf4689]

Question on this process - I am able to inflate my tire dry (without sealant) to full pressure but found it completely deflated within minutes. While I have not heard the "traditional pop" when the bead seats, I have checked and confirmed the bead is tight. Through the process of spraying soapy water on the sidewall I found hundreds of bubbles all around where air apparently is leaking. The tire/rim are compatible as the rear is not having this same issue and had no problems when installing it dry. Is this an issue to leave for the sealant to plug or is the tire faulty somehow?

[@sheriflouistheresanguyen6953]

could you please get rid of the horrible background music.

[@bradwjensen]

What a pain in the ass.

[@StrategyPerformance]

Irritating music. Can't believe that was done in a room with a sofa and carpet!

[@r3kt3rgod87]

and yet i don’t remember asking

[@7amid-]

Super easy

[@shawncollison639]

Tubeless is just stupid. My new bike came tubeless. I’m just going to buy new wheels. Why would I want to make changing my tires 10 times more complicated. The bike industry does this all the time - take something that doesn’t need fixing - and make it worse.

[@manbeastrongman]

Agree. Not sold on tubeless a roadside repair is 10 times more irritating

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Agreed 👍🏻
