Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again" Hippy read the first f**king post

do some research, as you are not likely to get a pinch flat you can drop roughly 5-10psi compared to having a tube

but tyre pressure should related more to rider/bike/load weight, weight distribution and tyre size

Flying with tubeless wheels. Have let the air out of my wheels, is the bike box going to be a jizzy mess upon arrival?

Also curious to know the answer to this.

You want to know about jizzy mess in my box?

I thought holds were pressurised these days.

Airlines ask for tyres to have the air let out.

Just go rogue and keep a little air in

I think I've flown quite a few times without bothering (or forgetting) to let the air out of my tyres.

Expect 10% increase in pressure - they don't do full pressurisation.

First foray into tubeless, I've got tubeless rims which came set up with Gorilla tape. I've got GravelKings (the non tubeless ones) which appeared to seat themselves with a track pump yesterday, but didn't hold air for more than about 2mins. No sealant in there yet. Is that all sounding right so far?

Am I right in thinking, if it looks like it's seated, I can glug some sealant in there and pump it up, swish it around, and all should be ok?

I deflated them to 20psi, carried a bit of sealant and CO2 cartridge just in case the bead comes off, all fine, inflated them on arrival.

I usually drop road tyres to about 15psi. Enough air so it still holds its shape and offers some rim protection.

The time I forgot to deflate from 100psi one of my inner tubes exploded.

Oooh, there's a PITA I didn't think about before filling my tyres with jizz.

bikeboxallen need tyres deflated to fit anyway.

My velovault doesn't need flat tyres

So clearly it depends on what tyres you're using and what box you're using. Airline requirements are thus irrelevant if you need to deflate anyway. Thanks for playing. Goodnight America.

No problems with tyres seating after re-inflating after flying, take some more sealant with you to top up when landed. No mess usually.....

my (GK non tubeless ones) stayed up with some Stans sealant in and have been fine for last 1000miles - mine are on Pacenti rims though. I would put 50ml ish into one and see

If the beads went on with a crack then it sounds good. I've got a set of road wheels with a single wrap of Gorilla tape.

I put on a set of 650×38 GK at the weekend and one went up and sealed almost perfectly straight away. The other one wasn't so well behaved and after finding the big rim leak, it took a while to find and seal a small sidewall leak at 50psi.

Use a washing up liquid solution to find the biggest leaks first, then work on minor leaks or go and ride them.

Talking about leaks... What is the general pressure loss that you guys experience? Across the 4 wheels I've currently got set up tubeless I'm at about 5-10psi per week.

Anyone tried Hutchinson Sector 28?

Yep

One cut badly and another split along a mould line.

But felt grippy and fast.

I'm fucked if I can get my g-ones to hold pressure. I'm still building the bike so there's no sealant in there, but I rather thought they should seal without it- hopelessly naive?

I wonder why there isn't a user generated database about succesful tubeless tire/rim/pressure/sealant combinations aka. the old LFGSS Transmission database thread

In my limited experience, tyres have sealed without goop.

How long do they stay inflated?
