The thing I love about cycling the most? Making your own solutions to occasional problems. The ghetto tubeless bomb.

Compressor is in storage but tubeless tyres still need to be mounted.

 

1 2.25l coke bottle, 1 removable core valve, 1 normal valve, 1m 6mm hose, 1 hose clamp, 1 6mm drill bit and a bit of silicon. Pinch hose. Connect hose to wheel. Pump to 100 psi. Unpinch hose. Listen to the pop as tubeless tyre sets.

Nice - been wanting to try that. How'd you get a good seal between the bottle top and the two valves? Looks like you added some washers, did you seal with silicone too?
