Thanks man! I’ve got a new trick too. First put a little bead of slime on either side of the red bladder. Then Once you get one side of the bead on the rim just dump the 8oz of slime in the bottom and very careful roll it around in the tire about 180 degrees. Then mount the other bead and you don’t have to put the slime in through the valve stem. Cheers!!
@@ThisTall I still use armor all on the first install of the inner bladder to help it slide onto the rim well. I then use armor all or slime to lube up the red inner bladder to help it seal against the inside of the tire
I do a slightly different similar install method. I actually put a thick bead of Slime around both sides of the red inner liner and also inside the tire on both sides near the bead (using rubber gloves and smoothing the Slime in the tire). I then mount both side tire beads. That way the liner and inside of tire are already saturated with Slime. Once I have the tire fully mounted I air it up and the seal is always good. Not saying my way is better...I think it achieves the same result and I haven't had any leakage issues.
You can fill the tire with slime easier by Doing it like a mountain bike tire. Get one side of the bead mounted, then pour the slime into the tire from the other side, way easier than going through the valve. Cheers!
Nice video. Lots of install videos but this is the first I found that shows replacing a tire on s tubliss system (as opposed to initial install). Also using Armorall with slime was enlightening. Until now I wasn't sure you could use both on the same install. Thx.
No problem! Check out my response to Gavins comment (pinned to the top) I figured out a trick from the MTB world that saves a lot of time and energy. Cheers!
I’ve used both Slime with the red label that’s meant for dirt bikes, atv etc. and I’ve used Stan’s tire sealant and I think Stan’s is a better choice because it isn’t as thick as Slime and coats the inside easier and faster. It might be a personal preference but I’ve had better experiences with Stan’s over Slime in both my MTB and dirt bike.
Nice work on the video. Thanks and thumbs up. I like your method. I do have to say that I think Slime is the most worthless sealant ever made. I know you said in the video that you are using it for lubricant to extend the life of your Tubliss, but there are soo many better sealants that will actually plug punctures and rips in your tires. You won't need to add a plug when you get home to stop the green ooze with those sealants like you do with Slime in most cases. Ride On.
I’ve had pretty good luck with it overall. The holes I’ve gotten that needed plugs were pretty big holes (mostly from tearing off side lugs) that I think would put any sealant to the test. What’s your favorite you would recommend? I run Stans in my MTB. Cheers!
@@SourceADV So far my favorite is Cafe' Latex. Granted it may be 50% more money and it may not lubricate as well. It will stop a leak better than anything I've tried however. One advantage to the stiff Moto tires with Tubliss is that you can run at 0 psi when a hole doesn't seal. Try that with a MTB tire and it gets bad fast when the tire pops off the bead.
Thanks Greg! You know with the Tubliss system, as long as that inner bladder is nice and lubricated with Slime, its pretty darn easy and straight forward to get on without risk of pinching, using those little spoon type irons makes it pretty straightforward. The biggest thing I've learn since I posted this video is to just spray the slime or sealant into the fresh tire after you have one side on the bead, like they do on MTB tires, then mount the next side. It's way easier than going through the valve stem. Cheers!
The seal is between the red inner and the tyre bead itself only,so I was thinking that the inner should be left at 100psi then undo the low pressure tyre valve,add slime refit the valve and pump up to 15psi,done.
Roger that! I found the best way to pour it in is to get one side of the bead on the wheel then pour it in through the open bead before seating it. Much faster and far less annoying than squeezing through the valve stem. Hope that helps, thanks for the info!
I will be installing tubless in my beta soon.For the heck of it I am going to let the air out of liner after I have it hooked up.Might help suck some slime in faster.
My instructions say to use Armour All when spooning on the Tubliss liner, but when spooning on the tire, to lube the outside of the liner and inner tire bead with the sealant. You used Armour All for both Tubliss and tire. Have you tried only using the sealant as lubricant when mounting the tire and if so which do you prefer?
I’ve done both! I like applying armorsll to the bead, and If you apply sealant to the liner before it does eliminate the step of dropping the tire which is nice. Using sealant on the bead of the tire tends to just get a bit messier. But the outcome is all the same. Cheers!
@@SourceADV the tire u used was new never mounted? I hearing from Tubliss that even though my tire and bike have not been riden yet (brand new) a.mounted stock tire will have rim.lock defects and cause seating issues
Which slime product is that? I have some of the emergency flat tire sealant. It's got little chunks of stuff in it. I am thinking the regular slime for bikes will be better. Oh I see the blue label. After a little research, I think all the slime has little dark chunks in it
do you just drill another hole in your original rim? or do you buy rims for that, also will will work on classic bikes? like classic tyres, say a royal enfield or any bike in a retro theme running spoke wheels?
Hey Matt, most dirtbikes already have two holes, one for the tube valve, one for the rim lock. So you just enlarge the rim lock hole. I’m not sure re: class bikes, probably reach out to Tubliss about that. Cheers!
@@SourceADV thx :) yeah, I will reach out to them , if the classic rims don't work with this..then I guess one will just put a motocross wheel on a classic bike lol...still question remains as to tyre choice..interesting that noone looked at that, it's a big market that
Nice tips, getting ready for this on 2 new never ridden KTMs. Have u noticed the air staying in tires better with this slime technique? ( I see some say Stan's sealant, never heard of but?) no issues with the slime loosening the rim tape? Armor All has no problem with keeping the bead adhered to the rim especially mixing with the slime? Wondering because the soapy water ends up drying leaving tight bond rubber to rim this is my wondering point.
Air stays in great. The only thing that leads to leaks is punctures haha. I think the soapy water stays in the slime and dilutes it and makes it thinner. I use regular slime for tires that you get from auto parts store and it has worked great. Cheers!!
@@SourceADV something ive seen personally on a Ktm 350xcf I bought from someone who had slim in the tire w/ tubliss. Didn’t destroy them but there was noticeable pitting. I’m sure the installer makes a difference but there is other options of tire sealant and maybe avoid that issue all together.
Using tubliss if that inner small tube is broken, can we just replace that tube or we need to replace another set of tubliss.. that inner tube looks like a bicycle tube.
Buys a 90 dollar tool, I don't really need it guys... just use your knees. If you did use this tool it would be easy.. lmao, it's great to be men, we do the darndest things.
Nice and in depth, Legend 🤙

Nice! That makes sense too! Thanks for sharing
good thought/point, when watching I was wondering if slime could be my lube when doing install
also no issue with slime loosening the rim tape?
what Slime you used? tube or tire?
@@jrago6228 nope! Works like a charm.
Put your third spoon in place near the bead buddy end point early - when you are 2/3 done to pre-set the last pull and not get stuck.
Nice! That’s a good trick, thank you!
You make it look so easy having the right spoons does make the difference and the wheel stand great video🤙💯GOD BLESS
Thanks! Take care!
Thanks for sharing your technique. Ive always been currious about slime in tubliss, think Im going to give it a go.

well done. I just taught my grandson this..
Cheers!
nice video - I'm about to do this soon. curious if you've heard of the Baja No-Pinch tool... wouldn't this tool make the install even easier?
Thanks Greg!

I’ll use some soapy water (lubricant) to help with removal. Old dry tires can be a chore.
The problem is that soapy water and slime don’t mix.
The seal is between the red inner and the tyre bead itself only,so I was thinking that the inner should be left at 100psi then undo the low pressure tyre valve,add slime refit the valve and pump up to 15psi,done.
Getting some slime on that seal helps mitigate air loss from the outer chamber.
I like the Stan’s better not as messy in your tire
Does it seal big holes well?
@@SourceADV yes it does but don’t get the Stan’s Racing brand it’s hard to get in tires you have to put it in slow to fast and it plugs up the valve
Roger that! I found the best way to pour it in is to get one side of the bead on the wheel then pour it in through the open bead before seating it. Much faster and far less annoying than squeezing through the valve stem. Hope that helps, thanks for the info!

Does no company make a spoon that doesn't screw up the edge of the rim??
Sadly no, just the tire machines that the shops have that spin the wheel
Do use some slime in the red bladder too?
Getting ready for an install and following your great slime tips.
No you don’t need to just the outside chamber
@@SourceADV the tire u used was new never mounted?
I hearing from Tubliss that even though my tire and bike have not been riden yet (brand new) a.mounted stock tire will have rim.lock defects and cause seating issues
That is correct. Many times the tire takes some damage being taken on and off that can compromise the sealing surface.
Which slime product is that? I have some of the emergency flat tire sealant. It's got little chunks of stuff in it. I am thinking the regular slime for bikes will be better.
Oh I see the blue label. After a little research, I think all the slime has little dark chunks in it
Yeah, it’s the one that’s for ATV+Moto
Can we use it in tires that has tube? Or need to change with tubeless tires?
Slime makes a tube safe sealant, but it won’t protect against pinch flats on tubes, but will help with small punctures
do you just drill another hole in your original rim? or do you buy rims for that, also will will work on classic bikes? like classic tyres, say a royal enfield or any bike in a retro theme running spoke wheels?

Technically the Tubliss system is not approved for street riding so that’s probably what they will say, just a heads up

I just see Bob bellow(sounds funny!) comment, he makes a good idea/point too.
Slime has for tubes and tires I think, you used what?
Air stays in great. The only thing that leads to leaks is punctures haha. I think the soapy water stays in the slime and dilutes it and makes it thinner. I use regular slime for tires that you get from auto parts store and it has worked great. Cheers!!
No wheel balance problems with the slim?
Definitely Not for off road riding, it tends to coat the inside pretty uniformly too
Question what did you do with the old rim lock hole ?
With tubebliss you use both holes, one for the inner bladder, one for the outer and rim lock
Starts @5:35
What about put slime aslo into inner (high pressure) tube? I have air leaking there..
I don’t think slime was designed to be used at those pressures. Just get a new inner bladder and replace it
No special tools needed. Then proceeds to bust out expensive special tools, lol.
Btw, thats a good looking yz
Just trying to keep everybody on their toes 🤣
You should definitely use wd40 instead of that armorall
Slime is corrosive to aluminum. So maybe a different tire sealant..?
The slime doesn’t really touch the aluminum because it’s in the outer chamber. Plus most rims are anodized anyways
@@SourceADV something ive seen personally on a Ktm 350xcf I bought from someone who had slim in the tire w/ tubliss. Didn’t destroy them but there was noticeable pitting. I’m sure the installer makes a difference but there is other options of tire sealant and maybe avoid that issue all together.
Interesting, it says on the Slime website that Slime is not corrosive.

Using tubliss if that inner small tube is broken, can we just replace that tube or we need to replace another set of tubliss.. that inner tube looks like a bicycle tube.
You can buy replacement inners from most places that sell tubliss. It’s a very beefy little tube
I thought rim locks srent used with tubliss
The inner liner (red) has a built in rim lock

It says tubliss but there's a tube inside 😂 ? That's not tubeless on my mtb zero tube just sealent now that's tubeless
