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

That sound like an idea for tyres whose sidewall are thin (like the WTB Horizon).

Seems like a lot of work. The tires stop losing air after 1/2 rides. Just carry a pump

I just give the wheels a quick spin to distribute the sealant and then leave them lying on their sides for a while. Round buckets are good for resting wheels on. Not much effort. Seems to work.

Got Gorilla Tape from Leyland Dalston FYI.

Do you need to remove ALL the sealant from the rim bed? Isopropyl alcohol isn’t making it easy.

Someone say it’s not important

I normally make sure anything that is likely to prevent a good seal gets removed, this normally involvea nothing more difficult than using my thumb nail to lift the old sealant off.

got 25mm tape (for 21mm internal rims) on advice of someone here. fitted it to one rim... quite creased, with particular pitting in the spoke-wells. can't seat tyre when pumped. lovely stuff

Is there a way to I know if my g one speed 2,35 tyres will work tubeless or not. I can't remember if they're the tubeless edition or not. They say "speed lite"on them rather than TLE or anything so I'm guessing they're not the tubeless edition. Is there a chance I can run them without tubes? I'm getting one puncture per outing this week and it's killing me.

I doubt running tubeless will fix that. Just get some more robust tyres.

I thought tubeless fixed everything. But food for thought. I'm just commuting on them so I'm kind of shocked at this rate of puncture.

Only once has sealant not sealed a puncture for me, because it was a slash rather than a hole. But yeah, more robust tyre.

If you can pump them just keep pumping until it seats. Sometimes you have to go well over the max pressure until it pings.
For applying the tape just go over the wheel as tight and centered as possible

Just had a sidewall and bead part ways in a specialized tracer tyre. Is one potential consequence of running lower pressures an increase in abrasion between sidewall and rim? Or did I do something silly that precipitated the failure?

The decathalon kit I have is shit. Recommend me please a tubeless repair kit?

So this post has more value. The reasons it it shit

1. For the cut I had, in the tread, the larger worms were too big to fit in doubled in. I eventually pushed one end in which stopped it up. I couldn’t cut it though, and it came out about 1km later. Did another one and borrow some scissors from a dry cleaner.
   
2. The tool for inserting was pretty small to be pushing the worm into.

Fucking read the fucking first fucking post.

Rep due

And thread retitled.

New reader tip: I read way past the point I decided I was a tubeless/ghetto tubeless expert* (p.31) - HOLD FAST.

*expert = could have a go without killing myself

Fair enough, I thought it was all set up

@ChasnotRobert

I set them up as tubeless anyway. Wasn't that bad though the walls took a bit of time to seal. Riding on them seemed to help (distributed the sealant better?) but I guess time will tell!

new tubeless not holding air. starts at 40psi and down to about 5/10 psi in the morning. left overnight on one side. should I leave overnight on the other side? tan wall WTB riddler tyres.

would a good ride sort it out probably? not had a chance to really ride it, except 1 mile back from the shop. will try the soapy water trick from the op

Other half got me a dynaplug micro pro as a gift - nice but a bit pricey.
Evans had them down to £37 but that offer may have passed.

spray soapy water on it, see if you can see the leak but would also do what you said and leave it on the other side, keep adding air and keep moving the sealant around.

would a good ride sort it out probably?

Most likely unless it’s losing 30psi an hour or something
