Doddy: When pouring sealant directly into the tire: After putting in tire, keep the wheel vertical, turn it slowly until the tire opening is at top. Finish mounting last bit of bead. Inflate and seat tire bead, before sloshing sealant around inside of tire. This will minimize - eliminate sealant leaking out before bead is seated. Cheers Michigan, USA

If you have trouble seating the tyre for the first time, USE A TUBE, inflate as normal and pop the bead into place. Once you have that done, crack only ONE side of the tyre back off the rim, remove the tube and secure your tubeless valve in place. Having one side of the tyre already seated makes it significantly easier to seat the rest of the tyre again later, especially if you're not using a compressor. Reseat the tyre without the tube or sealant just to make sure you can, then either crack the bead to pour your sealant in, or feed it through the valve stem.

@rolux48534 жыл бұрын
This depends really on the the rim you have.. On some rims this works amazing but on other, mostly wide and shallow rims (like my Halo Vortex) the tire doesn’t get seated properly when having a tube in it. This happens since the tube bulks up the tire to much for the shallow rim and then sits a bit above the rim, where it would sit in a tubeless setup. So if you deflate the tire, after you inflated it with a tube, the tire still doesn’t sit properly.

Nice vid Doddy - thanks. I recently had a problem seating a 3" tyre on a 50mm rim. Airshot & Compressor both failed initially, even with the ever dependable soapy rim - wouldn't seat the floppy (Chupacabra) bead - not even close. Resolved by installing inner tube and inflating to 50psi to pop the bead on. Then broke one side to get inner tube out. Airshot then popped the bead back on the open side. If that failed, I would have (been prepared to) cut the inner tube and only break a small area of bead - just enough to get inner tube out/tubeless valve installed. Thankfully it didn't come to that. Cheers

I just went through hell and back trying to convert my tires with a diy tubeless conversion. I finally got it to seal and work properly. I ended up using a normal compressor and shrader valve chuck directly on the open presta valve stem without a valve core in it. That finally got my tire seated. Once I got it seated it was still leaking a bit, but I just let the sealant do its work and would put a few more psi into the tire and shake it up. This process helped me a lot. Thanks for all the tips! Soapy water was a huge help in getting the tire seated. Just glad it worked.

Over the weekend I had a puncture and realized that I hadn't had the wheels refilled with sealant for at least 8 months... so I had to install a tube there and then. Actually it was a friend's one, since the one I had strapped to my bike for months had burned, and when I inflated it, it ripped (another lesson learned). Back home, to bring all this back to standard, I normally would have taken the bike to the shop, but now, due to Covid, some of my favorite service shops are closed, and I have more time, and more propensity to save. So I just bought the right stuff and refilled the unaffected wheel through the valve, whithout dismounting it. After seeing how dry the sealant was in the affected wheel, I guessed I urgently needed to do that. For the punctured wheel, I did the tire patching like suggested, and completed the mounting with the "soapy water" and the filling with the "dry" methods. It worked liked a charm. Thanks! (Note: Removing the old, dry sealant with warm soapy water, like suggested, was really a hassle though. I'll try to find out other methods for when I have to clean the other wheel, but don't go that route unless you want to spend more than an hour scrubbing away.)

I replaced both of my tubeless tires this week with slightly wider models. I quickly replaced my rear but was having a lot of trouble getting the front to seat. I looked up your video which was very helpful in reminding me to try CO2. Two cartridges later it was mostly seated, and I completed the job with an electric pump (set to 30psi max). For the reasons you pointed out, I added the Stan's later through the valve stem so it was not affected by the CO2. Thanks for that advice which allowed me to get the job finished and go biking today! And I should also thank you for your excellent video on stopping brakes from squealing. I got a new bike about a year ago and did not know about bedding in the brakes, so within a few weeks they were squealing badly. But I cleaned the pads and rotors following your advice and they have been silent ever since (except occasionally for a short period after going through water). Again - many thanks for this and all the other very helpful GMBN videos!

Cut out some valvestems out of old punctered inner tubes because i was too impatient to order them. Rim is a non-tubeless ready 19c 27,5 from a 400€ "full suspension " bike. So i put on very thinwalled, non-tubeless 2.35in tires on a narrow non tubeless rim, one layer of tape and they popped up first time with the valvecore still insde with the wet method. Is that what you call luck? they loose about 2-3 psi every 2 days though. But i check tire pressure before EVERY ride anyways(im also a roadie)

If it's a proper tubeless-compatible rim there's a little bump that holds the tyre in place [that's what gives the "pop" when initially seating the tyre], so as long as you've got enough pressure to ride the bike you'll be ok [depending on how rowdy you get, of course].

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: I purchased a track-pump with a holding tank (holds 250psi but not sure of the volume) to do this.

You're lucky with the wheel/tyre combo then! Not all wheel/tyre combinations are so easy to get setup. Or maybe you just did a great job of it!

Great video Doddy very informative. I'll have to check if my DT Swiss rims on my 2008 Stumpjumper Fsr Pro are tubeless rims

How often do you need to change out the sealant? And when you do, do you need to clean out the tire and rim completely or just pull the old sealant out and pour new sealant? Or just add to what’s already in there?

They usually say every 6-10 months, I think. And sometimes you can just do a top-off.
