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

Gotcha, might just stick to the original plan.

Running doc blue but need more sealant . If i top up with stans will i die ?

Doc Blue is Stans in different packaging, so yes, you will die, but not due to mixing sealants.

Got a sidewall cut a couple of weeks ago, plugged it with an anchovie and everything was peachy. Today it started to leak again.

Watched a couple of how-to videos and decided to go with the least amount of faff. Patched it like this without sewing the cut:

It's currently reinflated (needed to use a compressor to seat it) and holding air. Fingers crossed it is still fine tomorrow.

Patched it like this without sewing the cut

Do people actually sew them up?

I supposed at £50 for a new tyre why not. It's like tubs all over again!

I sewed a tyre. Took 10min.

Why throw it away, if it's good to go still with a little effort.

I haven't busted one for ages, but I kinda wish I could back in time now and fish all those Michelin Mud ii I killed from the recycle bin. I patched some from the inside and glued a few but there were some where a needle and thread could have been the obvious answer.

Nylon thread and a leather needle.

Essential part of my long distance tool bag now.

Genuinely for tyres or do you have a bit of a Buffalo Bill thing going on?

Do people actually sew them up?

Yeah, but I hope I will be able to get away with just a patch. Can always redo it if it doesn't hold up

Yeah for tubless mtb tyres.
Of course

If you can fix it, save it

I tend to add some of the flexy superglue stuff on the outside of the tyre to patch over the hole there too. Done me fine to date, although I am getting a bit tired with how quickly G-one's cut up

I had the same issue, couldn't get the patch kit to stick though, then I tried a park tools boot ( which was worse) then I tried gorilla tape which worked perfectly.

Well, it held air overnight so I think it's all good.

Fwiw this is my first sidewall cut in the 2+ years I've run this set, they're great tyres and super easy to set up tubeless.

Those donellys went up first time. Pleasant surprise. Will see how they do tomorrow.

I am really looking forward to uninstalling my tubeless.

Are you blaming them for getting lost last night?

Oh if only I could. And I didn't get lost, I just got, um, 'detached' from the group and then had to be located and escorted back. Hugely different.

Tubeless tyres on my MTB, losing pressure overnight, rear worse than front.

Time to strip off, clean and re-seat/seal? Or just add a bit more sealant, pump up, ride and cross fingers?

Probably just the latter. How old is the sealant in the tyre?

3-6 months off the top of my head.

I'd just pump more goo and go for a short ride

Cheers. Seems wise before I go to the faff of refitting. Ta!

Update on the mavic open pro tubeless gravelkings. I’ve been running 30 psi for the last 400 miles on mixed French roads without issue. I consider this tubeless experiment successfully closed
