    Normal punctures simply fix themselves with the sealant. Larger ones can be plugged with a worm with no need to take off the tyre. Just fitted a pair of Conti 5000 TLs with a standard pump and no issue. 30ml of sealant is plenty in a 25mm tyre and if you put it into the valve with core removed there is no need to be spilling it on yourself! Put the tyre on the opposite side to the valve first and work towards it so that the beads can sit down in the channel and make it easier to complete. I can guess why the final snapping on of the tyre was edited out! No need to carry tubes on a ride; carry one if you insist but you'll probably never need it. (fingers crossed :-) )

      I just mounted 5000’s on Shimano rims. It was quite a fight. Tight fit. Are you planning to use plugs for flats on a ride? I’m thinking that in my case. After what it took to mount them, I hope to have flat repair on a ride not to include taking the tire off the rim.

    • @CCliff0rd
      @CCliff0rd 4 года назад +2

      You never take a tube to fix a tubeless tire. They weren’t meant for tubes. Once you mount the tire and seat the bead, it should never come unseated until you’re done with the tire. For roadside fixes , carry a plug kit and an inflator. Even if you get a flat, the bead won’t come off the rim. ( providing you don’t ride on it for long). Plug, fill and move on.

  • @guidospanoghe8896

    I prefer the tubeless set up mainly because of the low rolling resistance ( esp. on rough roads ) when you run them on lower pressure ( 4 to 5 bar for a 25 mm tire ) with an increase in grip en comfort. No more pinch flats either.

  • @CarlForde
    @CarlForde 5 лет назад +4

    I suspect you can avoid the slop when adding sealant by rotating the tire 90 degrees first, then inserting the nozzle aiming down the inside of the tire. Sealant will go in following the tire carcass. Rotate another 90 degrees so the off rim bead is a the top and finish putting the tire on.

    For my road bike I am using Conti 4000 25 with new Hed plus rims that are wider than what used to be the norm, I use latex tubes from victoria on these and I can use super low pressure on 25 tires (60-70 psi and I am 195 pounds)! The wheels feel great with this set'up, I use tubeless in a gravel bike and there is no difference in how great both feel. I only had one flat with the latex tubes so I am not changing that any time soon, it must true what they say about latex actually being better than butyl tubes for pinch flats.

    What are some good ways to get the tyre to sit correctly on the rim? I've been trying to get my tyre back on and the safety line in a couple of places is a bit closer to the rim than the rest meaning the tyre wobbles slightly when rotating. I've tried putting tyre lube on the bead, unseating, reseating, deflating, over-inflating and it's still being very stubborn and won't sit evenly.

    • @hunterm.moreno4201
      @hunterm.moreno4201 3 года назад +1

      This isn’t the process you would do on the road. Just a permanent fix for large punctures. On the road just rotate your tire a few time, the sealant will fix punctures by itself. If you have a large puncture that won’t seal, you can use a cement worm that goes into the hole plugging it. Exactly how you do on cars. While the cement worm can be permanent taking this extra measure provides extra security.

  • @kevinthomson6324

    I guess it’s just me or maybe I’m just too old school but tubeless just seems like a huge hassle and super messy. I can’t see what the problem is with a tube. I get one flat every few years and takes me 5 minutes or less to swap the tube or patch it then I just pump up the tire and I’m on my way. No messy sealant no expensive reservoir pumps needed to get the bead to seat or rim tape to worry about replacing. Guess I should try it one day just to see what the hype is about...

      I have to admit I completely agree. So much buggering about and gadgets and messy gunk. Having the odd puncture is not the end of the world. A quick patch or spare tube and ten minutes of your life and it’s done. Plus it’s added weight too swilling around a load of slime in your rim. Surprised this has caught on so much.

  • @mkh123
    @mkh123 Год назад

    I'm not really a big fan of removing the tubeless tires. Of course with a large puncture it must be done to fix it. The sealant gunk is difficult to clean off and makes it difficult to re-seat the tire. I once managed to blow out the tire, when it had not properly seated upon filling it up. While rolling it in my hands to inspect, the bead slipped off and the air blasted out with most of the fluid. The bang in close quarters sounded like a .22 pistol going off. The tire was ruined and the rim required righting. Something to be aware of.

Gorilla tape and a CO2 cartage got me home. Then I used your method and have been riding on the same tire without issue. Simple and cheap, love it.

      No tube. Never. You carry a plug kit. Not a tube. If you get a puncture that sealant won’t seal, don’t break the bead. Just plug and inflate to a reasonable (not high) pressure and ride home. If this isn’t a permanent fix, then use the patch on the inside as this video illustrates. This video is how to fix a tubeless tire before replacing.

      @CCliff0rd 4 года назад

      twoweeled soto there’s plenty of plug kits out there. I’ve tried quite a few. My favorite is the Sahmurai because it stows easily in the bar ends. It has plugs for 3mm holes . They make different size plugs all the way up to motorcycle tires and car tires. Effetto Mariposa now makes a plug kit that stows in the bar ends with 2 different size plugs. I carry a couple different sizes in my jersey pocket kit. The idea is to ideally plug it without having to break the bead and take the tire off which is where trouble can start. If the tire has been mounted for a while, the bead stretches and you can patch it from the inside but if the bead is stretched , it can be a nightmare trying to reseat the bead. It’s more of a last resort for me.

    • @CCliff0rd
      @CCliff0rd 4 года назад +1

      Also, after plugging it, be careful when you air up the tire if you use co2. This can freeze the latex in the sealant and it will separate from the liquid and become useless. Either use a small pump or if you use co2, make sure your inflated has a variable air knob like lezyne makes so you can air up slowly. Also air it up with the liquid sealant is at the bottom of the tire and the inflator is on top. You don’t have to air up quickly because you didn’t break the bead.

I just recently converted my gravel commuter to tubeless and thus far I'm happy with it. I only put 1.000km in it in the last two weeks though but haven't had a puncture so far. But yeah - time will tell. There will be a cut that the sealant won't fix for sure and I'm curious how much of a mess this will be on the roadside.

      Replying to a 2 year old message, but anyway: this isn't how you're going to do it on the road. For a small puncture, the sealant will fix it automatically. If the sealant doesn't cut it, you seal it with a tubeless plug. If it still keeps leaking faster than you can get home, you better have a tube with you, because you likely aren't able to even seat the tire with a transportable-sized pump. Ideally you want to use a booster pump like on the video, or a powerful compressor.
