Vittoria Air-Liner set up

[@awesomexistence]

At :49 I start opposite the valve stem and finish at the stem. This allows the tire bead to fall further into the rim without being hindered by the tubeless stem and finish seating is easier and I find most will mount w/o using a lever or very little effort if a lever is needed.

[@budycelyn]

yeah that worked, thank you so much for the advice here, saved me swearing anymore and throwing tools around my garage, life saver :) instructions actually say to do it your way. so much for youtube videos

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Hope everyone finds this video useful!

[@tedclev]

Thanks, Jeff. Love your vids btw. What type of compressor are you using to inflate your tires? Thanks.

[@miathemalinoisgsdx1320]

Oh if only they were s simple to fit as that on every rim and tyre combo.

[@bildanielson]

Ok, so what's your verdict? ... any follow-up from using??

[@JedTaneo]

They are only easy to install on wide rims I guess.

[@lacuentadevideos]

now.. whats the use of the liner if you inflate it?.. you add wheigh, plus friction inside the tyre, any friction produced by movements inside the tyre would draw 2 to 10 Watts of power......

[@paullehrbmx]

do more squats, make more power, smash more rocks

[@pukki34]

That martello is one of the worst tires for enduro style riding, After the FIRST ride 3 of the side knobs were torn in half and 3 punctures

[@californiadreams9408]

It possible use it without this liquid inside the tire?

[@C-D-a-w-g]

No

[@budycelyn]

2.6 tyre so large air liner, just cant seat the tyre, does the liner have to be tight to the rim or can it have some wiggle room ? cant sit the tyre into the centre of the rim to allow the bead to break over the bead seat on the rim.

[@littlegoobie]

looks like an interesting product but i have my doubts this would work on a mountain bike or fat bike since those tires are so loose on the rim once the air pressure is gone. I'd like to have seen you ride at the end without inflating.

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

littlegoobie Its not for running on a flat tire. It's to prevent pinch flats and reduce burping.

[@guillermosempron5776]

It's no sense at all.

[@littlegoobie]

all that just for pinch flats? might as well go tubeless then.

[@tedclev]

It's for tubeless tires. Helps prevent damage to rims, helps prevent burping and flatting, increases cornering stability, improves traction because you can run lower psi, and it adds extra cush due to acting like suspension with compression and an air spring.

[@friendlyneighbourhoodmtb7961]

hmmm. did you really made a tutorial with the hard pointy and maybe sharp part of the zip tie towards the rim? not ending at the valve stem, to make it 100% easier? ooof bro. just oof.

[@TejasToolMan]

I just run 2 tubes cut as liners and a 27 tube in my 26 x 3.0s but its heavy though on steep dirt trails lol yet to find a bib that works well in my tires

[@aspasiazacharias4920]

doesn't the sealant get soaked up into the foam, and if its tight to the rim doesn't the foam work like a filter removing the latex particles from the solution, strange system this

[@MrRay645]

thats exactly what I was wondering

[@mostlikelywedoitservices6926]

@@MrRay645 My thought closed foam. Would not absorb

[@tyjacobs6151]

After running these for over a year now I can assure you sealant does not soak into the foam. I changed tires the other day and still had liquid sealant ready to do its job like I had just put it in there. I use MucOff sealant with Vittoria Air Liners and Vittoria MTB Tires.

[@variolaa1089]

What is the spray?

[@tekknorat]

Wow, nice stuff, and it fits 2,35

[@voytekcader1338]

What do you think of just shooting-up the tires with some DuPont expandable-foam insulation? ;D

[@mostlikelywedoitservices6926]

Well, all vids I have seen doing that. Longevity sucks.

[@agustinc6102]

So... Did you do it?

[@vcader]

Agustin C Nah, I guess I don’t ride enough to get flats - so far I only loose a few psi a week ...wish I could say the same about my weight😆

[@neocrashburn]

Hey Jeff thanks for the video. I do have a question for you. How can we install a tube with the airliner? I know we can ride flat with airliner, but there is always a risk to damaging the wheel. I once had a slash and had to install a tube to get back home; I took out the airliner and was hanging it around my neck LOL.

[@calmandcoldblood]

I installed them very easy in a Schwalbe hans dampf and a Magic Mary light casing. But it was impossible to install in a Schwalbe hans dampf super gravity casing.

[@robertszklarzewicz6159]

what size vittoria airliner wood i ues on 27.5x30 tyre p,s nice video

[@vinnychoff]

Jeff thanks for the video, very helpful. Is there a reason to have it installed? I guess its to help with run flat? incase of the air escaping?

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

No sir, this is anti pinch flat tire system. It might help if you'd decide to ride on a flat tire after some major tire failure, but it's designed to protect the tire from getting cut after hitting a sharp edge while having low pressure in your tires, like tehy run them today for grip. Also protects the rim from getting damaged easily when the tire deflects too much.

[@alejandrocycling23]

Доброе время суток подскажите пожалуйста где купить

[@edwardbntz8825]

How much weight this add to your bike ?

[@RiddleKingOnline]

Not a lot of problem solving tips here. Pretty much just says install a tire like normal. I can get my new assegai on without the airliner. Just snapped 2x levers trying with the airliner in. Any useful tips?

[@thomas930409]

You can install your tire normally, pump it up, pop both beads on and then break free only one side. Insert the air liner and start to put the bead back into the cavity in the middle starting opposite of the valve stem.

[@justinbarney6286]

I want to get the Vittoria Airliner, but when I was discussing it with my local shop, they told me something concerning. They were saying that the airliner rubs the inside wall of the tire, causing wear on the sides, and then eventually the tire breaks/blows. Have you experienced anything like this with the VA, or other liners?

[@viktormichalek2376]

Think of it this way... Two flat and fair surfaces are rubbing against each other slightly through a thin layer of sealant. On the other side of the carcass, knobby rubber tire blocks are rubbing against rocks, roots and dirt, transferring various forces to the ground. Which of the surfaces is going to wear significantly faster?

[@friendlyneighbourhoodmtb7961]

your shop has no idea. or just doesnt want the hassle to put it on.

[@DNADirekt]

Vittoria, just make tyres with a much better puncture resistance then we do not need funny Air-Liners.

[@samkelly2106]

absolutely

[@DNADirekt]

Men, I had punctures, punctures, punctures, punctures with the Corsa Speed tubeless-ready, asked Vittoria and ever got an aswer. By by Vittoria!! Not this way!

[@Beatles5]

What sizes is available? 622 - 40?

[@Sphoxros]

I'm sorry, $170 ? For 2 foam inserts ? That's rediculous, I'd be better off just buying a ton of tubes at that price.

[@Adrian-yn8iw]

Sphoxros technically you are paying $170 for not having a flat anymore

[@Sphoxros]

That might be true, but I can go-to Lowe's and get nearly the same foam that also doesn't absorb liquid for literally $20....

[@tedclev]

Sorry, it's nothing like running tubes. This enables you to protect the hundreds or thousand plus dollars you have in your wheels, with the added benefit of more cornering stability, better traction due to lower psi, and the feeling of added travel in your suspension since you've effectively turned your wheel into an air spring with compression. The insulation at Lowe's won't do that, nor will a tube. That said, wheel liners aren't for every rider; it totally depends on your style, terrain, ability, etc. For me, it's well worth it.

[@mtbmike9866]

@@Sphoxros You can buy 2 Huck Norris inserts for $60-70. They wear/break down so you may go through 1-2 a season. The $20 stuff is even a softer material so it may wear even faster. Same goes with Cushcore but at least Cushcore will last most people 2-3 full seasons. This stuff shows zero signs of wear after a full season and appears their claim of lasting 2000 hours is accurate. So in the long run it will save you money. Right now they are on sale for $55-60 each.

Ok Easy stuff has been done. Now tutorials how to remove tyre with air-liner inside.

[@DanTuber]

What's the point of the air liner if you still need sealant?

[@toddmargeson3330]

Because sealant is what makes a tubeless tire air-tight (If you run a tire with no sealant, but have the liner, your tire would be flat by the end of every ride). It also seals up small punctures from thorns, etc. The Air Liner's purpose is completely different: it's to keep your rim from bottoming out on rocks/roots, preventing rim damage and tears in the tire sidewall (which sealant can't fix). The purpose of sealant, and the purpose of the Air Liner, have nothing to do with each other.

[@brauljo]

Couldn't it be made to the right size and connected all around instead of cutting it and using a zip tie lol?

[@Ropetable]

its long enough for 29 inch wheels. one size fits all solution.

[@brauljo]

@@Ropetable That's pretty wack, Tannus Armor doesn't seem to have a problem with having different sizes.

[@Ropetable]

@@brauljo i agree, but it makes sense from a logistics standpoint, and the product is less likely to sell out completely for the exact size you need which is a problem now. I just ordered some for my stromer st5, excited to see if they are worth the horrendous price. i got 2 for 130 bucks

[@brauljo]

@@Ropetable Yikes, they're even more expensive than Tannus Armor.

[@johndawson942]

just asking wondering how much space it restricts your sealant moving about..... huh

[@oOTheCassiel]

@@johndawson942 thought the same. can't see how it would get from the inner section to the outer one since there are no holes in the middle and it looked to sit pretty tight on the rim. did anyone try using it that way?

[@cpopefly]

I wonder the same thing. How does the sealant get to the outside channel if you’re putting in the inner channel? Also if you get a puncture on the sidewall, can the sealant even flow to there? That’s where they always happen!
