Exploding tires

[Bos]

use less sunlight liquid ?

Thanks Guys.

 

Tire/tyre, still you should get the idea.

Yes mixing the sealant may have caused an issue with the back, but the front which was fine for a week?

Too much pressure seems to be the common verdict.

Not sure what tape i have inside, it is a tubeless rim like my XT. put in valve, put in TYRE and pump, makes some loud noises while seating and off you go.

Easy way to test if it is your mixture is chemically reacting with one another is the following:

 

Make the same mixture in a 1l coke bottel (NB the plastic ones). Pull a balloon over the tap, and leave it be. If it inflates a bit after a while then you know something funky is going on. Also note the temperature before and after of the mixture, if you have a thermostat even better. If it warms up, and inflates the balloon it indicates the two are reacting with one another.

 

Would really like to hear the outcome of the experiment.

 

As for your tyres, I dont know enough, ask the tech guys.

I think this is an elaborate ploy devised by Nobody in order to cancel his ride this morning ... I mean come on ... bad form Nobody ... better not try this same stunt on Monday morning.

 

I have only had a tyre pop of once under pressure while doing the Tubeless thing and damned it makes a mess.

 

There is some good advice in the posts above ... get it sorted and don't miss Tuesday mornings ride.

Confusion has set in now...

 

I got my new XT rims yesterday and was tempted to run them tubeless on the night ride. Opted not to in the end BUT I read this thread My linkhttps://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/56755-fold-up-or-wirebead-for-tubeless/

 

Quoting Shamus "Pressure - the minimum infation pressure as indicated by the manufacturer.

a minimum (and maximum) pressure is usually indicated on the sidewall of the tyre. For safety reasons, this should be maintained.

Tyres that roll off rims either do not conform to ETRTO or are under inflated"

 

Now, here's where my confusion sets in... The numbering on my Monorail says 35 - 65 PSI.

I take it that 35 PSI is the minimum... AKA 2.4BAR...

 

So the minimum inflation on the Monorail is harder than the maximum recommended inflation for running tubeless... uhm...?

Go ghetto style (even with the tubliss rims...)

 

That way there will be plenty of grip between bead and rim...which I think is the problem on this spesific rim/tyre combo...

 

I really do not think the OKO + sealant mix will generate any extra pressure...

 

UNLESS it is a Stans type sealant (which might have an ammonia + xx reaction causing CO2?? unlikely...)

[Nobody]

I don't think there was a reaction. After the first bang I ran and checked, there was no heat.

 

Could it be that there was a tiny bit of sealant between the tyre and rim and this caused the tyre to become slippery and the pressure chose the easiest exit?

Like tar?

 

no...... the taste of fear and impending death..... it is like the you get when you bite on tinfoil!!!!!!!!!

[Mecnic]

Check that the bead matches up properly had it happen to me also on a kenda and the beads didn't match up properly

[Nobody]

Okay.

 

I removed tyres from rims. Washed tyres in bath (Lots of screaming blah blah blah). Washed wheels in bath.

Put tyres back on and pump pump pump pump pump pump pump NOTHING! Made a soapy solution and the wheels pumped up then went POOF. Tried again and it just wouldnt stay on. Got out the spare Hutchinson and nevegal and went up first time no sealant and no problem. Only pumped to 2 bar and they were fine.

Let air out, put sealant in throuygh valves pumped up and will see tomorrow.

 

Tyres are/were KENDA KINETICS. They were used for a while with tubes so maybe that stretched the beading? Also it could be that the rims cant take anything bigger than 2.2.

[Cassie]

There is your clue & answer....some rims cannot take larger diametr tyres....I was told?
