mark ellis Posted January 18, 2010 Share Hi Guys, Running a tubless setup and the merida and was riding on sunday and crossed a faily large rut, Tired popped of the bead for a split second and I got a porrige wheel, could this be from running to low a pressure? I am a heavier rider, around 100kg's, was running 2.7, would it be better to run slightly higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either pump the tyres a bit harder, or un-weight the bike more when crossing ruts, bumps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark ellis Posted January 18, 2010 Share thanks mark, or loose 20kgs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markStockton Posted January 18, 2010 Share thanks mark' date=' or loose 20kgs!? [/quote'] In my case that would mean giving up beer. Which is a thought way too horrible to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted January 18, 2010 Share burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted January 18, 2010 Share 2.7 is already very hard. If you go much harder than that you will loose alot of the advantages of tubeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylguy Posted January 18, 2010 Share i run tubeless on 1.8 to 2.0.... never had a problem with burping.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted January 18, 2010 Share Sounds like a burp but at 2.7 bar? Thats high like Mud Dee... SOme tyre/rim combos just don't fit that well - if the rim is on the minimum diameter tolerance and the tyre on the max then they just won't go well together and the "burp pressure" drops radically. When you fit the tyre do you need to use tools or does it pop on realy easy? If the answer is "real easy" then perhaps you should consider a different tyre (it's cheaper than a new rim!). Upping the pressure will help but like someone else said - you lose most of the tubeless benefit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy Posted January 18, 2010 Share It probably depends on the rim/tyre combination. I can run 1.5 to 2 bar on Mavic / Crossmark LUST combo, but normally 2.5 rear and 2 front. That's with a little bit more than 100kg on board. Non UST tyres seems to sit a bit looser on the bead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterza Posted January 18, 2010 Share I would also perhaps check out if you have sealant left. Often the sealant dries out and then if you break the seal, you get a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techguy Posted January 19, 2010 Share definately the rim tyre combo, the tyre has to "pop" onto the bead when you inflate it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
