spray paint the inside of non-tubeless tires to seal the casing

When doing a new tubeless setup with new tape, I like to install the tire with a tube and inflate to press the tape onto the rim. The 40-50 psi in the tube presses the tape onto the rim much more consistently than you could ever do with your fingers. Also, with new tires, I find that installing the tire with a tube helps to stretch and round out the tire. At a minimum with new tires, I find that it saves a lot of frustration if they are unfolded, rounded out, and allowed to sit for a day or so before trying to mount them.

Use Orange Sealent - it sets like a balloon inside your tyres and later, when you come to remove them, you just peal the sealent away rather than spend ages trying to rub and scrape sealent like Stans or Continental off the insideof your tyres.

I’ve learned from bitter experience that sometimes even using a compressor & high volume of air doesn’t get the blasted tyre to seat, especially when the tyre is brand new. If this happens you can insert a tube, inflate to a good pressure & let it sit for a few hours. Then take out the tube, put in your valve & try seat the tubeless tyre again. Works every time
@Scottspark910

Another trick that works for me is using a tube before to easily bed the tyre in. Once done, unbed only one side of the tyre and gently remove the tube from the rim making sure the other side of the tyre/rim remains sealed. Then add the sealant and it usually makes that "victorious" pop sound at first try and you are ready to go.

I never align the logo with the stem ......

Two things I had to learn the hard way converting to tubeless: 1. Take the time to really slosh the sealant around well. Better your arms fall off from all that tyre shaking than being constantly frustrated by a small leak somewhere at the rim where the sealant usually doesn't get to... 2. Make sure the valve is screwed on TIGHT. Most locking nuts you can only tighten with your fingers, so do it until you can't move that ring any more. No matter how hard you think it's on already, if you're able to screw it in more, air IS escaping there...

I'm definitely trying this on my Coyote Skid Row fat bike, even though I have neither tyres nor rims tubeless ready. The tires are kind of worn, but that's partly why I don't mind trying. Also, I do have an old compressor and eight years experience as a car and commercial tyre fitter. So this will be a fun experiment.

Instead of spending an additional $10 for the "sealant syringe" I used a $0.99 mustard squeeze bottle and a 10" piece of clear, scrap 1/4" ID tubing that can fit snugly over the valve stem. Place the tubing over the bottle spout and it makes for a nice clean installation of the sealant. I also marked the bottle at 2 oz and 4 oz to make the job even easier. FYI - you may NOT want to use a CO2 tire inflator as the expanding CO2 gas is so cold it can freeze the liquid sealant and make it into a goopy mess.

I've only just gone tubeless recently in the last couple of weeks after years of sticking with trusty inner tubes. So far gone really well but my main comment is that with Vittoria mezcal tyres and hope rims I haven't needed a special pump or co2 cartridges and have good seal and it retains air long term. I have done both tyres on my mountain bike this way and front on my gravel bike. I'm sure there are scenarios where you can't get away with it but I wish more people would say it's possible as this was a big barrier for me as those pumps cost a lot and I really didn't want a compressor.

I think a big one nobody talks about is when tubelizing a normal tire (non ust or tubeless ready) up front, It will be squishy or squirmy at the same psi than with tube. Thats because the thin carcass was not designed to be run tubeless. So some weight weenies like me like to use normal tires made tubeless, keep in mind youll have to use 5 psi more than what u used with tubes.

Those Conti's mount superbly, never given me any issues - and that's using a track pump without soapy water. My tip for problematic new tyres... put a tube in first, leave it for 20-30 minutes then do your dryrun tubeless setup. Syringes are great, get one from the pharmacy $5 then go to the hardware and buy some 6mm poly-tube. A kebab skewer makes a good dip-stick down the valve to check sealant levels.

I've set the second pair of non-tubeless tire as tubeless just a few days ago. IMO, as long as the dry fit is okay (in this case, I can seat the tires easily with a track pump), it has a fat chance to work as a tubeless tire, all it need is some extra time and sealant to seal the bead and the tire wall. == I DO NOT recommend trying this on road bike, use UST or tubeless ready/easy tires only, so the tire would not pop out under high pressure.

The only time I've ever had a problem fitting a tubeless tyre is when someone else has done the rim tape, every time I've done the rim tape myself it's sealed first time and the sealant lasts for literally years. Never bothered removing the valve core, never used a syringe to inject the sealant, just a track pump and some muscle! My tip is to use some sealant to help the tyre slip on in final fitting, no mess with soapy water and it will help seal the final fit; have soapy water standing by to wipe off any sealant dribbles.

There's valid discussion around the CO2 issue where its cold temperature can ball up the sealant resulting in premature sealant failure. If using a CO2 cartridge, it's best to fill with the tire valve in the 12 o'clock position (so most of the sealant is at the 6 o'clock position, furthest away) and to let the gas in slowly. Of course, with a new tire this fact is irrelevant since you can use CO2 to mount the tire, prior to injecting sealant.

So when Doddy showed added the tape to the inside of the rim ... seems like he failed to add a hole where the valve goes and showed himself taping over it.

No, you cannot use a cut-out valve from a normal inner tube in a tubeless setup. Tubeless valves have firm piece of rubber that tightens down to the inside of the rimbed using a nut on the valve's outside (ravensgully.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/image4.jpg) . This will provide an airtight connection between the valve and the rim. You wont be able to get an airtight connection without heavily modifying a normal valve.

Just attempted tubeless conversation. Total and complete FAIL.Installed tubes. Used Fix-A-Flat (combination sealant and compressed air in a can). Will take to my local bike shop for a proper tubeless installation when I get around to it. F this S!

I am obviously making some massive basic mistake! I follow the steps, but cannot seem to be able to pump air into the wheel whatsoever (dry, no sealant liquid). It all leaks somehow out instantly, without creating any pressure inside the tire. I am using Ritchey tubeless ready rims, and Panaracer tubeless ready tires. Valve is placed the only way it can be placed as it has a circular rubber seal (and it's tightened too to the rim). I appreciate any tips!

or instead of shaking the wheel to slosh it why not just fill the wheel up with a solid block of sealant. set the valve to the top of the wheel and keep squirting in sealant until no more can go in then you only have a small air pocket in the tire. then inflate the tire you could also use the trick used for seating car tires spray a very small amount of flammable liquid in and light it and whoosh tire seats. of course it is not without its dangers.

Don't use co2 in hot areas! C02 condenses faster and has thinner particles, causing it to get through the seal between the tire and the rim. Instead, use oxy2go. It is the same concept, but using oxygen instead of co2

If you fill tires with c02 tube how do you know how much pressure is in your tire?

I had one quick question because I've got tubeless tires on my bike but I don't carry CO2 with me while out on the trail I've just got a little hand pump that I use but I have my home pump would I be able to use that pump or would it strictly just be a CO2 cartridge that I'll need for when I do see my new tires on my rims
