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

@dammit are you travelling soon? NM Bike24 have them 40 Euros

I have used this stuff to help seal 4-5mm cuts in tubeless tyres.

I now have a tube of it in my puncture repair kit that I carry with the workhorse bike. Superglue hardens faster in the presence of water so I have put glue into cuts and then spat on the tyre to speed the setting process.

This formula glue has rubber bits so is a bit more flexible when set.

now thats a good idea.

Wow, you're like a battlefield surgeon for bikes.

I frikking love this stuff...until I got it in my eye. Still love it.

Genius Djames

These are awesome

Hi all, merry Christmas etc - new to the world of tubeless and have aquired a new rear wheel with a pacenti sl23 rim - What do I have as options for a gumwall tyre? Does that exist? I'm moving over from open pave... Anything out there comparable and not super spenny?
Cheers,
Matt

Fixed a sidewall cut in my irc tyres with that superglue. Awesome stuff.

Glad it helped

Used super glue 20 years ago to seal nicks in £100 tubulars, a tip I got from a Belgian trackie. Good to see it's use is still universally appreciated :)

Just installed the latest MTB tubeless rim protection system. I can legitimately say that "Huck Norris is now inside. "

Much easier to set up than Procore. Allows you to pump the tyre up with just a track pump. Is also lighter and cheaper. All sorts of win.

Lighter and cheaper than procore, you mean?

Yes.

Should I try and set up my new tyres (Vittoria Hyper Voyager) tubeless myself, or get SBC to do it? I don't have a compressor.

Or @Howard - are you happy to do it for me?

Yes.

Splendid, thanks.

I suppose I could be persuaded to put this lot to some use - maybe for beer

Going to attempt my first tubeless set up. Wheelset is totally bare at the moment, rim is Pacenti SL23 and tyre Gravel King, so both tubeless friendly in theory. What I need is some sealant, rim tape and a valve right? Is that it? Are valves with removable cores advised?

Yes you should have removable cores.

I have to drill the inner rim? Is that right?

I don't think so

Maybe that just non-tubeless rims, I thought it sounded a bit odd.

Yep, ghetto conversion means expanding the valve hole, tubeless ready rims won't need drilling.
