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

Still need to decide on PSI!

I'm 10kg heavier than you and I'd start with 70F/80R on 28s

A year or more on 25 mm Hutch All Seasons and all is well. They also go on the Shimano rims with no fuss at all, always worth taking in to account. Note they come up pretty narrow.

I won't open the particular can of worms that argues lower PSI is actually faster...

I've been making that argument for years, I run my Hyper Voyagers tubeless at 30psi. But the side of the Veloflex tyres say the minimum pressure is 6 bar, which is 87psi.

Nonetheless I will be dropping it down from 80 to 7opsi now I've got them working reliably and seeing what happens ;)

Punctured a Horizon on the weekend. Added sealant, no fix. Tried to glue the tyre, no fix. Took out an anchovy and it didn't properly fit in the inserter, eventually forced it in and after a few stabs and some twisting it held.

In hindsight, I should've used half the sealant only and if that didn't fix it, go straight to the anchovy.

What's the point of superglue? It seemed to do nothing when sealants involved.

I thought you were meant to glue the anchovy in place or sth?

I don't know. I was just throwing shit at the tyre in the hope something worked :D

That makes sense now but at the time I was just trying to stop all the sealant disappearing. Next time I'll go straight to anchovy.

I have a feeling I might've asked this before but anyone setup Reet'ard rims ghetto tubeless?

I thought you were meant to glue the anchovy in place or sth?

The Lezyne ones I have are pretty sticky already, don't thin you are meant to add anything to them.

Haven't used them on my own tyre yet but did on a mate's GravelKing SK. Think I should probably have had the slimmer ones really but only had fat ones. Reckon we tore the tyre a bit getting it in but it did eventually seal.

Had a bit of trouble at first as I left too much sticking out the tyre and it was catching the brake bridge and opening up the hole everytime the wheel rotated. Pushed it a bit further in and it sealed up eventually.

GP5000TL 32mm size up around 31mm on 23mm internal rims, fwiw. Went on with one lever and seated with a track pump.

I've got a valve that won't seal is there a recommended way to clean caffelatex off it? I tried plain old water but no dice, it just wants to BREATHE!

Failing that, decent source for valve cores?

Old inner tubes.

And the superglue is for stopping these pesky anchovies going slowly out. Not always needed but it's nice to have it

Yeah, I solved that one on twitter last night. Although it was completely flat this morning so I've added more sealant and tried again.

Ok, so if sealant fails, anchovy it and then how long would you wait before applying superglue?

If it's a big hole or in a very bad place or for some other reason I feel like supergluing it I just get the anchovie with the tool and put some glue on the tip. Then ram it quickly in the hole and get the tool out before it solidifies.

The GI anchovies were pretty damn sticky already. I guess if I have trouble with it coming out I'll revisit with the glue. Superglue doesn't seem to set when caffelatex is around anyway.

Got my GP5000TL in 28mm today!

Will report on ease of install + actual width.

My Schwalbe Pro TT Gumwalls 28mm tanwall will be available for free if anyone fancies puncturing every 25km and getting jizzed on by sealant on a regular basis

will you post?

If you send me a box yes

now you have bought them can i buy them off you at 10% of retail value, and can you deliver by bike like you do with your champagne?

to north of Gloucester

for free

or i'll bitch about you on the bad traders thread

i used the @ function and vince didn't respond immediately

Just waiting for someone to post in the "I HATE" thread:

I hate when seller on here who regularly donate money to the forum and free parts to people want to sell an item at a more than reasonable price

EDIT: I have been in a bad traders thread before for various trivial reasons (refused to hold items, refused to post, sold at a higher price than purchased while donating the difference) and I am sure I will be back on there again!

Hey man, I'd take them off your hands and try my chances!

I'll PM you once the new tyres are on.

You will need more than chance. You'll need plenty of sealant since you'll be adding 30ml per tyre per ride.
