my dialled bikes steel hardtail with 2.3" tyres - all went up ok once I borrowed a ghetto compressor
my mate's Hunt Mason gravel wheels. Straight up no issues
my eldest son's 25kg commuter bike on 26" Schwalbe city jet tyres. No problem
my mates 29'er hardtail, again no problem
Then last week I borrowed my son's 25kg commuter for a trip to the LBS as I CBA to change into cycle specific clothes and frankly, it's fun to ride an e-bike every now and then.
Got there and back all okay and he said oh, was the tyre ok cos it was flat yesterday. Really I asked.
Yes it got a flat cos he had been doing jumps in the local park on it. A 25kg bike and he's about 105kg at the moment. Cheers buddy...
Looks like it has a reasonable sized split in the sidewall of the city jets but it's holding with just the sealant for the moment. I will take the tyre off and apply an old fashioned rubber and glue patch inside the tyre and all will be ok.
I've been tubelessing a lot of tyres recently:
