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

Do not have any of the above. Tbh the gash I that wouldn't seal was so big that it probably required a replacement tyre anyway...

Lockdown boredom: old campagnolo zonda's (from 2016, no indication of the 2way fit), put in a layer of tape, tubeless valve, schwalbe one's tle popped with my old rusty floor pump. Put in sealant and they have held during the night with 7 bar. Cant pop them off the rim with my thumb, thrashing them around. I do wonder if I should take the risk or not.

Imo a canister is needed. I can seat some of my tyres with a pump only, but the canister for the rest.
The schwable one is £30 and worth it.

The other option is using a Schrader to presta adapter and then using a compressor, at a mechanic garage.

Road tyres are harder to repair. MTB you can stitch up. With road you could glue a large rubber patch to the inside (having cleaned tubeless residue off), then when that has gone off, stick a load of rubber glue in the gash from the outside.

New tyre still didn’t work. 3rd layer of (electrical) tape did the trick. Mad that the G-One’s went up so easily compared to this, especially as it went up so easily originally. I must’ve bodged the tape somewhere at some point.

I’ve been running tubeless for a month now and have taken a spare tube with me on each ride. Do you guys carry tubes or just some extra sealant and something like stan’s dart? I’m using caffelatex as sealant, if I bought stan’s small sealant bottle would it work on the road?

I must admit to always carrying one tube in the summer and a couple when on long rides in the winter. The second is overkill but for me the benefit is not having to get cold and wet fixing punctures rather than saving weight on spares.

Always carry a spare, never used it in 4 years circa 7000 miles a year

Some of the latest tyre/ rim combos I don't think I'll ever get a tube in anyway

Well, id get a tube in but never get the tyre back on

I always carry a spare tube and also bacon strips. Same as @MicroDosed™ - have never needed my spare tube.

Guess I need to find a lighter small tube as spare.

Always carry one, needed it once

Tubulito work well enough for a backup?

I carry anchovies and elasticated super glue, only had to use either a handful of times in around 5 years.

I've been using a tyre tubeless for a few months and it's got about 10 slightly seeping small holes, from riding through broken glass. Holds pressure though.

I'm going to take it off and remount it anyway, partly as I am sure it needs better taping. So thought I might as well fix the holes. But patching 10 holes with conventional or tubeless vulcanised kit seems a bit of hassle.

Any quick way to do the lot? Was thinking about a blob of silicon bathroom sealant on each.

Sounds like it's fine. Don't mess with it. It might not go back on tubeless :)

You are probably right.

silicon bathroom sealant

Civillian/domestic cartridge silicone sealants have poor unprimed adhesion.
I doubt whether they have any adhesion to 'rubber' compounds used for bike tyres.
Silicone sealants have poor tear resistance and poor wear resistance.
Given the puncture holes you are attempting to patch will have at least dimension under the minimum 6mm recommended for a fillet of silicone sealant,
you are unlikely to have any medium- let alone long-term success.
What's wrong with using 'superglue'?
Last time I checked Toolstation offered a higher viscosity version that I have used
for the thin film adhesion needed to seal up the slash cuts on Marathons and Marathon Plusses courtesy of outer north west London's barely swept streets.

I’ve used these before

Thanks also @mespilus for ruling out silicon sealant.

I think I'm going to leave that tyre alone, and have a go with fixing up another old tyre that's been used with a tube so far, trialling rubberised superglue on pinprick holes.

@mtsdw applying loads of individual patches was what I was trying to avoid. I'd use those for slightly bigger holes though.

Ah, but those are self adhesive shit aka would be much faster and or more success than trying to silicone it. But then it’s superglue or leave it

Sorry, I glanced at the picture and from the colour, thought they were old fashioned vulcanising patches. Those are certainly cheaper than Park/Lezyne instant patches which I think work out at about 50p each.

Anything that seals by itself don't bother. You can try a glitter mix or Stan's race for truly abused rubber.

Tubeless tyres on non tubeless rims?

Previous owner of my bike said they had run this setup without any issues.

Rim is taped up correctly.

Is this possible or will the tyre just roll off?

The only difficulty is seating the tyres tubeless and getting them to hold air, if you can do that then they're fine. I've run my Archetypes ghetto tubeless for a couple years now.

The problem they are at risk of unseating come sealant refill time and bead stretch can mean they dont reseat. I have tried ghetto tubelesswith mixed results.

depens on rim + tyre combination I guess. I'm running old campa zonda's ghetto tubeless with schwalbe tyres and they are ok. I read somewhere that one of two things should be tubeless (rim or tyre) and you should be good to go.
