or just sticking a goddam tube in it and leaving my tubeless conversion for another day / month /year
If you use a tube to get it seated for the first time and then dismount only one bead to get the tube out, you may find you can get the tubeless up and running this weekend.
It's all a bit random, my first few sets went up and stayed up with no sealant and just a normal track pump, but my last lot took all the finagling in the world, and that was UST tyres on UST rims, none of your fake stuff.

ok, many thanks for those suggestions.
after a surprisingly long time i think i have now convinced myself that no amount of fondling the tyre bead followed by manic pumping is going to sort this.
so, choice between obtaining one of those high flow devices, or just sticking a goddam tube in it and leaving my tubeless conversion for another day / month /year.
