M_V-
Yeah have been riding them with a tube in for weeks, the front is on and popped in to place but there is some bubbling in a small section of the bead near the valve. I’ve got it resting so that the sealant hopefully pools in that place and seals it
They’re super floppy tyres, i think that’s been outwardly addressed in Panaracer’s new version of their Gravelkings

is there a good way to get older floppy tyres to seat?
I’ve got some gravelking SKs in 35mm that I’m trying to mount to a Panceti Brevet rim. The tyres came used on this bike but clearly have been setup tubeless before. They were very easy to get on and off, the bead feeling ‘looser’ than what I’ve come across before (never had these tyres before, but have just finished putting some Pirelli 45s on my grav bike).
I’ve put straps around the circumference of the tyre/wheel but it just won’t hold air. The beads are just sat in the middle of the rim and air is just blowing out like wind through some curtains.
Do i need a compressed air thing for this?
