Quick Tubeless Tyre question....

[BMXER]

I battled to seat my Ikons, my compressor @ 8 bar failed !!!! Used a bomb as the last resort, slime vanished!!!

 

Once seated my Icons did leak a little air but after the 1st ride I had no further issues at all. Due to the packing of the tyre (all folded) seating proves a challenge, try putting a tube in the tyre over night. The tube helps the tyre to take the correct form enabling you to seat the tyre a lot faster the following day.

use some more soapy water to locate any leaks...align STANS towards the leak...voila!!

Thanks guys! All fixed...

 

Seems when I removed the valve core to insert the Stans I loosend the valve. Tighten valve, re-inflated and seems fine this morning.

 

Shot for the advice...

Yes, any naughty Tyre can be sorted with a tube and a slight rub of sealant on the bead. Leave over night. Only break the bead seal on one side. Pop the tubless valve in, mound pesky tyre and add sealant. pump the sucker...
