Spoke with Neil's Wheels this morning. Yesterday the tyres were not mounting tubeless so were left overnight with tubes in to get the beads seated. Plan was to then unseat one bead remove tubeand reinflate tubeless with only one side of the tyre needing to re-engage. Despite identical tyres and rims front and rear the rear is not quite behaving. Front wheel is done, rear wheel both beads disengaged when the tube was deflated. They will be trying wit a compressor later - Phil had made a 2l bottle into a charger chamber inline between the pump and the valve on the wheel but the rear wheel is not playing nicely.
Am wondering how easy adding more sealant is going to be, hopefully once the tyres are on and sealant has got between the clinching surfaces and the bead then things will slightly glue in place.

I found that they went in to the bead fine - they just don't stay there, when there's no air pressure holding them in place.
Even after a few rides with sealant they'd pop off the bead with the air out. Had to re-tape the rim because of this, as my first rather shonky attempt had the tyre pulling the tape with it in to the centre channel.

I used them for Roubaix. The hardest bit was getting hold of them. Easy to get on the rim and pump up real easy.
Curiously, tho, when all the air comes out...they pop off the bead. On my Grails, anyhoo.
