Read the first post (over and over)
To be fair, it doesn't mention lube. You can cut the friction which is resisting the aerodynamic force trying to move the bead up onto the shelf by at least 90% with just water as a lubricant. Depending on the weather, phase of the moon, whether you're in the northern or southern hemisphere etc., you might want to add a very small amount of soap as a wetting agent.

Fucking fuck, fucking fucking fuck.
Read the first post (over and over) - but I still find every time I try and seal tubeless tyres, I can never get the bloody things to seal, even using an airshot. It always seems that the valve core pushes the tyre beads out near the valve but the tightness of the tyre pushes it into the centre of the rim around the rest, and air escapes out the sides.
Every fucking time.
Anyone else find they don't understand why they can't make it work reliably?
