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

potholes in Essex

Some call them hills, there are no hills lol

They're faster. Won't really make that much difference, other than in your pocket

North Hill, Danbury. Only hill in Essex ;)

Set up my IRC RBCC tyres last night. Got them in the 25mm flavour and they're coming up significantly narrower than my last 25mm pro ones. Probably should have got the 28's now seeing them and how much clearance I have. Lovely tyres by the looks of it though!

Got the front one on no probs with no soapy water treatment. Back is still being stubborn even resulting in the hose on my tubeless pump bursting when the chamber was full. Time to replace it with an Airshot I think, unless anyone has any other recommendations. Then to tackle it again tonight.

Exactly the same thing happened to me (with the X-Guard). Front one went on no problem. I had to take the rear one to the LBS to use their compressor to get the bead to sit. It's fine now.

Funny that. Don't think there's any correlation though as I had issues with the pro one with the rear wheel before too. May need to re-lay the tape on it. Ordered an airshot from Evans today so will see if that has any more success!

An extra extra layer of rim tape can solve most problems

My 25mm Pro One's come up as 27mm.

Good to know! I never actually measured them so assumed they were accurate to their label but I know that's not commonly the case. They were about right for clearance with ultra 6800 brakes.

New Ultegra & DA brakes say 28mm, i reckon up to 30/ 32mm's

Tried all tricks on the 26c and kinlin xr31t rims+ double stans tape+schwalbe sealant can't get them inflated even a bit, Ymmv though.

Some points on road tubeless 26min onward:

Its not easy the whole road tubeless thing is it? Turbo cotton still sits quite high in low rolling resistance and tubulars I imagine to be better .. maybe slightly.

"Shwalbeee"? I guess I always thought it was 'shwalbub"

Tubular roll worse unless you're talking track tubs.

I swapped two sets of tubular wheels for road tubeless because ride quality. And yes, fasterrrrrrrrr if thats yer thing

On real roads tubeless seems quicker. Clinchers are only quicker at pressure you would not dare use on the roads.

Soapy water. What tyre.

That rim may require more tape. You should use soapy water too.

I found using rubber o-rings before the locknut on the valve plus putting a dab of sealant around the valve on the inside and outside on aforementioned o-ring and letting it dry before pumping up did the trick on IRC and XR22t rims.

I don't do any of that. I use valves with and without o rings with any issues. I inflate and seat tyres with no sealant at all and then inject sealant for a clean install unless I have a blocked injector then it gets messy. Get the valve collar tight. Soapy water, track pump and bingo. Done too many for it to he any different. Occasionally I need to charge the pump but that's rare.

The O ring in the valve don't really make much sense, if there's a leak instead of going out the sealant will be going into the rim
