• No need to re seat the bead
    Downside of using the stem is

    You'll break the fucking stem
    You'll lose the valve core
    Harder to add glitter
    Did I mention losing the core?
    The core will drop through the gaps in your decking never to be seen again

  • They seated really easily with a high-volume track pump: so smoothly that they didn't even'pop' into place. I already took the tyres off once, so I could tidy up the tape around the valve hole ( perfectionist ) and they went up exactly the same second time around.

    Going to assume that I got lucky with this rim/tyre combo ( Stans Flow EX/Maxxis 'Tubeless Ready' Minions ).
