Mountain Bike Tubeless Tyre Set Up 101 | GMBN How To

[@881Gino]

Dude, I’ve got a massive man-crush on your workshop!

[@kevinmthornton1]

Thanks so much for the detailed instruction and explanation. I just installed my first tubeless with a regular standing pump and it worked first time thanks to you and this video.

[@alexdoner3641]

Thank you for sharing your comment cuz I'm on tubeless tires at the moment and I only have my standard pumped work with them happy to know that I can still do it that way

[@Metal-Possum]

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.

[@calvin7868]

Alex Paulsen thanks for the tip

[@rolux4853]

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.

[@brunomurati5536]

Great ! after two hours of search, it's the best answer. Thanks a lot :-) !

[@christopherdimotsis1024]

Great information!! There was a lot of things similar to how you do car and motorcycle tires but tweaked for bicycles! Love the extra tips and tricks and how you explain and show why the dry can be preferred. Keep up the good content!!!! And stay safe riding as well!!

[@ellisph1808]

An alternative to Gorilla Tape is Tesa Tape 4289 (on eBay) and feels very similar to a well known brand. Never had any issues with it and also comes in different widths.

[@teodelfuego]

5:15 “you don’t want that stuff floating around clogging stuff up.” Hmmm, I kinda thought that was the point.

[@wjs1]

No - he said he was referring to the old sealant. You don't want old sealant in there together with the new stuff.

[@jzabala56]

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.)

[@ichewtoast111]

Wow, one of the best tubeless videos i have seen since a week. Tools, methods, usefull informations. 👍

[@Qyoon]

Tubeless kit arriving tomorrow let's try dis !

[@Qyoon]

I would like to thank you for that tutorial. Valve and Milk arrived at 1 pm, took me an hour. I made both my tyres tubeless easily. I dry fitted them first then added this liquid. Was scary at first with sealant leaking a bit. But i tested them a few kilometers. Bike feels different, it's nice ! Thank you again.

[@charlbekker2378]

Why do you need tp brush water onto the tire sides?

[@kevinwmitchell5773]

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

[@gmbntech]

Fantastic hack!

[@joscram1129]

I actually thought we all did that🤔👍

[@oli_jens]

This is the way I do it. Very easy, hardly any mess.

[@benfairhall5331]

This is just the normal way of doing who would slosh sealant with a unseated bead? Makes no sense at all.

[@thecakeisalie7070]

You can seat the beads with tubes first, break one side off and add the valve, add sealant, then inflate. Takes a couple of minutes longer but increases the chance of seating the beads significantly this way.

[@adriankelly_edinburgh]

I wish I'd read this yesterday before embarking on my own voyage of discovery and ending up at the same place!!

[@tinidavies6531]

This is what sorted all of my problems today! Could I get the bead on? Could I fuck. But with tubes in? Worked a dream, still holding pressure so far without tubes...

[@johnbarron4843]

Fun Fact: The original spelling is tyre, as it comes from the French for the nozzle that blows up the tyre with compressed air. Like many American spellings, at one time someone wrongly spelled the word as tire, and others who also couldn't spell copied it's and it stuck over there.

[@travisroland2811]

I like green slime, cheaper and works all the same. I like adding through the valve stem as well.

[@seanlynchcycling8044]

Is it possible to run tubeless without tubeless sealant. So like dry fitting but never putting in the sealant?

[@gmbntech]

It's possible, but takes away much of the benefits of going tubeless. The sealant is really worth it and virtually eliminates all but the largest punctures.

[@TownofJezza]

is that a glued on spoiler toupe?

[@jonnyt43]

Thanks for the video! I've just set-up my two wheels tubeless. Gorilla tape x 4 wraparounds was necessary to get my 'tubeless ready' tyres to seal (Maxis Ardent with stock Alexrims on a Voodoo Bizango from Halfords in the UK). I'm not convinved they are seated properly (no ping-pops when inflated). Got both tyres up to ~50psi. Will leave overnight to see if they retain any pressure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: I purchased a track-pump with a holding tank (holds 250psi but not sure of the volume) to do this. Absolutely no way I would have been able to do this with just an ordinary track pump (don't even think about trying a hand pump).

[@Jason97478]

You can’t use a regular tire pump to inflate the tire?

Nice vid... I have experience with the air escaping between the rim and the tire, even though both are set up for tubeless. Hoped this was covered also :O(

[@gmbntech]

It sounds like the tyres aren't seated properly. Are you running tubeless ready tyres?

[@MrSandgaard]

Yes for sure, expensive ones from maxxis and also the rims are prepare. It works in the beginning but after a period with hard turns and low pressure 20-22 psi it starts. any experience with glue?

[@nicksheps1]

Hey - so, very basic question (for a newbie here). If i have tyres with inner tubes in.. can i use those same tyres for tubeless? Or do you need tubeless specific tyres?

[@rogerhouben9230]

If the tyre refuses to fit, use brakecleaner, pump air and ignite the cleaner

[@jma3686]

Thx for the vdo. The sealant "Stan's Race" they say "Must be poured directly into tire" any experience about, to put it with a syringe

[@jaycehudson]

What's that small, compressor tank thing, you used?

[@Themilkmanskid.]

I'd like to inflate/seat my new MTB tubeless tires using a car tire. One end of my bike pump hose is for Schrader and the other end is for a Presta valve. Can this work? I'll laugh with you😄

[@lincolnkarim1]

Ignorant question if you don't mind...Does that liquid sloshing around inside the tire cause any kind of instability, especially at higher speeds?

[@NZLKevin88]

Get a compressor. Costs less than a pump with a side chamber and more useful. Before putting a tube always check for thorns in the tyre.

[@twentytwo_22]

Really informative video! I wasted around 50 Bucks on a conversion kit and after almost 5 hours of getting the things sealed up, one of the tires was flat the next day and the other one was also not great. Lost a lot of the fluid and then I decided to just put inner tubes back in...

[@roonietunes7]

i've done it several times, usually works fine. but my newest bike was a total mess...don't know why. i went back to tubes, then tried it again and it was fine. tubeless tires are great, though, give it another go sometime!

[@Offroader74]

Hi Doddy, great video AGAIN. How long will the sealant last before it dries up and you'll have to replace it?

I opened up a new bottle of schwalbe sealant but the top say 1mm had gone off, I took the skin off and the rest was liquid. Will this still work? Thanks

[@markgiorgio1679]

Definitely remove the valve cores, Use an air compressor. Inflate and set the bead first with no sealant, add the sealant after setting the bead. There doesn’t seem to be an easier way, especially when the tires are super tight to get on.

[@someguy9520]

Bout the tire...i bought some relatively cheap performance schwalbe tires(liteskin which heavily deforms under 25psi in the corners. A Hans Dampf in the front and a Nobby Nic in the rear. 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)

[@honestmcgyver]

Good vid as usual but tubeless seems a right hassle

[@garethrobinson2275]

You seem lazy but it depends where and how you ride. If you're plagued with slow punctures from thorns or don't want downhill weight tyres but do ride fast on rocks then tubeless is fantastic.

[@V_E_G_E_T_A_R_D]

i wanna go tubeless but i heard you have to run your tires at low psi. Can i go tubeless and still run high psi pressure?

[@darrenhalford2890]

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

[@tntstudio1742]

Can I use schrader valve for tubless valve.

[@garethrobinson2275]

Yes. You can cut a valve stem out of a tube too but you will need a 'fully threaded' stem. You may need to make a soft seal washer, I did this by using a leather punch on some silicone rubber then trimming with scissors and stretching it over the valve stem before installation.

[@michaelmansfield593]

I just got my first tubeless setup, thanks for guide through it worked perfectly. Got a little messy putting the valve cores back in, mopped up the living room floor and it's back to normal. Glad I don't have carpet 🙂

[@andromk3]

At the end u advise tocarry a tube (old reliable) with u if u get a flat out onthe trail. So i guess ill go tubless for when my bike is in my basement.. What a waste of cash...

[@gmbntech]

The tube is in case you get a flat large enough that the sealant can't seal it. It's not common, but can happen, and a tube will really help you out of that situation.

[@patcharette199]

Hi I liked your video . Is there a min pressure for tubeless tires to retain a seal?

[@EditioCastigata]

Not directly to your question, but many tires have a minimum pressure anyway. Too low a pressure and you might get sidewall cracks. FYI, some rims have a maximum pressure, and it's possible that both ranges don't intersect (= incompatible).

[@phorest]

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].

[@6-Iron]

I don’t understand the point of doing this. Tubes are easy to fix on the trail. This would be a major PITA to repair.

[@cecil4485]

The idea is so you don’t have to worry about punctures so much and can run lower air pressures

[@EditioCastigata]

It's about what is more probable: Lots of tiny punctures (tubeless is ideal) or rather few big slashes (tube).

[@tenfriskydingos]

Also offers lower rolling resistance with the tube gone (and similar to cars, lowering unsprung weight makes significantly more of a difference than sprung which is essentially everything above your wheels) and allows you to run lower pressures than with tubes giving you more flexibility on your grip level according to the terrain

Great video! Conversion kits suck. If you want to go tubeless, just get a new set of tubeless rims and tires, or, if your bike is old enough and doesn't have neato stuff like tubeless, hydraulic disc brakes or a 1x setup up front, maybe consider a new bike?

Great idea to turn a 20€ expense to a 2000€ one!

[@davewalsh8278]

I use Oko offroad tyre sealant, it's not mtb specific but works perfectly well. It's a much thicker fluid than stans etc and doesn't make any mess. The best thing is it costs £9 for a 1250ml bottle, less than half the cost of Stans.

[@Metal-Possum]

Market it for a bicycle and give it a nice smell, and you can sell smaller portions of it for horrendously inflated prices.

[@pticica8700]

never switching to tubeless because im not rich, you got flat on tubeless you need to buy a new tire that costs 60-70$ but when you are running tube you just buy 7$ tube, simple

[@cartercapetz1826]

Not quite. Depending on where you ride, you could save a lot of money going tubeless. Additionally, the only time you'd need to replace a tire for tubeless is if you are riding over things that end up with more than 1/4" holes. Otherwise, the sealant does its job.

[@sp00n]

Please don't go above 40 psi when setting up your tubeless tire! While the tires themselves mostly are qualified for that pressure, most of the rims aren't for wider tires in the 2.3"+ region! For example, the Stan's Flow MK3 is specified up to 37 psi for 2.4" tires (and 26 psi for 2.8"), the Funworks Track Mack Evo to 2.7 bar (39 psi), and DT Swiss sets the limit to 46 psi for 60mm tires (and 42 psi for 62mm - see here for their pressure chart: dycteyr72g97f.cloudfront.net/uploads/WXD10000000866S/MAN_WXD10000000866S_WEB_ZZ_001.pdf). Basically the wider the tire and the rim, the less pressure you're allowed to use (look up Barlow's formula). Sure, most times you come away with it, but there are some unlucky combinations of tires and rims where the fit is too loose. I've had a tire explode from the rim at 4 bar (58 psi), after which the rim was damaged, and I've read reports of people who had a blast trauma after pumping up a tubeless tire too much. It's just not worth it, if the tire doesn't seat with around 40 psi (2.8 bar), then there's something wrong. Use more tire fitting fluid (Schwalbe sells these, or simply use those made for cars), soapy water (although I'm not a too big fan about this, because the soap won't fully evaporate), simple water, or just use tire sealant for some extra sealing afterwards. Basically anything that will make the sidewalls slip into place will work. It's not worth the risk to pump up so much. Stay safe.

[@iand3028]

I went along with this for about 5 mins..until I lost the will to live.. Just stick a tube in and ride!

[@aminrazawan482]

😂😂😂

[@garethrobinson2275]

Only if you ride with heavy tyres and tubes relative to the kind of riding you do. If you want to go XC on rock without downhill tyres then tubeless is the way to go, it's work for performance, plenty are happy but perhaps you're too lazy? Thorns are a huge problem where we ride too, no problem with tubeless.

[@comewarpeacecraft7927]

To me tubeless tires is a waste of money. 1) i rarely get puncture. Like 1 at most 2 in a year, sometimes none at all 2) nxt disadvantage of tubeless is that sealant dries every 6 months, and you have to put new sealant every 6 months which is costly for me who rarely gets puncture. Unless you are a racer/ pro you might have a different perspective, but to me, its a waste of money

[@raupenimmersatt6906]

[@ChristianEilers]

you guys always miss the last resort tip to seat a tubeless tire the won‘t pop without extreme help: use an inner tube and cut it a few cm from the valve - with enough room to tie a knot into both ends - inflate the tube, it will seat the tire completely, then open only a small gap and pull your inner tube out through it, then install your tubeless valves. with the tire only removed from seating on a very short stretch, even the most hesitant tires seem to work. still a thumbs up

[@gmbntech]

That's a great tip! Will definitely keep that in mind for our future tubeless conversions.

[@Well_Spoken]

The proliferation of tubeless tires and rims has hurt the sport of bicycling. Not everybody would prefer to use this method, but the manufacturers have all grouped together to the effect of rendering the method of using tubes to be obsolete. The ability to have a choice of quality non-tubeless rims and tires is diminishing. We would not need this video except that the construction of rims designed to be tubeless have a flat area just below the bead seat that is there to assist with the seating of the tire (with its sealant). Rims for tubed tires have a shallowing section here, and allow the bead to pull up right to the seat area. HOWEVER, THIS FLAT AREA IS THE CORE REASON THAT TIRES DO NOT SEAT. The problem is that the tires bead tends to stay in the channel where the spoke ferrules are, and not lay flat against the bead seat.

Go through methodically, get the pop as it snaps on the rim front and back, set the final pressure install on the bike and do a short run...alls good. next day still at pressure, happy days. two days later and 50 miles later, left overnight the back tyre flat as a fart. no puncture, top up sealant (just incase) re- inflate alls good...for a couple of days...rinse and repeat. Finally find its the valve stem leaking, refit, repeat process....two weeks later my back wheel has gone back to inner tube whilst the front remains tubeless absolutely no probs. Be prepared for frustration and mess.
