Just built a wheel with a hookless rim and need to set up the tyre on it tomorrow. I’ll be doing it at work so I can use the airline which will hopefully make things go easier.
I’d normally pop a tyre on with a tube first to a) press the rim tape down and b) get one bead seated but this time I want to transfer a tyre and it’s sealant from another wheel. Should I stick a different tire and rubber on first to press the tape down or just press it down as much as I can by hand? Can you even put a tube on a hookless rim?
