• I've been tubelessing a lot of tyres recently:

    • 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.
