    Tubeless woes pt4?

    After picking up a puncture last week (Schwalbe Pro One TLE 700x28), couldn't get it to seal so put a tube in to get me home. Back in the garage, I discovered I appear to have three punctures that aren't sealing. Two x 5mm cuts and a smaller pinhole puncture. I appear to have been able to seal...

    Leaking tubeless system - should the bike shop fix it?

    Got tubeless ready wheels & tyres, so after some thoughts and despite my misgivings I decided to try the tubeless set-up. Was my first time attempting to set up a tubeless wheel. There were a lot of tips and warnings on seating the tyres using a floor pump, so I expected this to be the most...

    Tubeless tyres

    I don't have one of the large volume pumps, but I do have two tubeless tyres that need changing on my off-road bike. Does it work to inflate them quickly with a Co2 cylinder, then wait a while while the tyre warms up again?

    tubeless tire sealant on Brompton tires

    I have Marathon Racers on my Brompton now, and due to ample rain in the spring this has been the worst year I can remember for Goatheads, the uniquitous natural caltrops found in the western states. Based on advice from my LBS, I used an ounce or so of tubeless tire sealant each in the tires...

    Should I patch a tubeless tyre while it’s off

    I’m new to using tubeless so I hope this isn’t a stupid question. I have a tyre off which previously had a puncture and has sealed. I’ve found the sealant plug. Can I use a regular innertube patch on the inside of the tyre as a permanent fix instead of just relying on the sealant?

    Tubeless Tyre Damage

    Evening all, I have a very slow deflating rear tyre, upon close inspection, I have found a slight incision (can feel the air whistling out when my hand is near). The question is, how exactly do you repair such a small cut in the tyre?

    Tubeless tyre practicalities

    I’m looking for some advice from those of you who run tubeless tyres. I’ve started to use one of my road bikes as a gravel bike. The wheels (Fulcrum Racing 6) and tyres Vittoria Terreno Dry) are tubeless ready, but I’ve been running them with an inner tube. I’ve been reluctant to go tubeless...

    Right tubeless pressure

    Hi, my new bike is set up tubeless. First time I've tried tubeless. It comes with 25mm tyres, and on the side the suggested range is 85-125 psi. Given I'm 98kg and I ride on an ok surfaced tarmac, what tyre pressure would you recommend for front and rear?

    Tube vs tubeless

    Watch till the end. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8aUaQlJ1sU Post note edit: As correctly pointed out by @Milkfloat, the syringe valve injection is not recommended by Stan's No tube "race sealant version". The bigger crystals in the liquid that acts to seal cannot pass thru.

    Been running them with tubes but looking at going tubeless, got tubeless on other wheels so have a little bit of experience with them. Question is do I need rim tape with this sort of wheels? The spokes are ' hidden ' for want of another word so can't see the need for tape. The bumph that...

    tubeless ready tyres

    I am due to change tyres on my road bike. My wheels are tubeless ready and the tyres I use are Hutchinson tubeless ready. I am thinking of setting up as tubeless with sealant. I know you need to have different valves but do you need to change the rim tape. My tape is in good condition but there...

    Tubeless Valves

    Anyone running tubeless valves cut out of old inner tubes ? Talking about fully threaded ones with removable cores. My current valves are not long enough I could buy them however when inner tubes are somewhat cheaper, just wonder if its viable ?
