Running MTB tubs on Spin Carbon Wheels

[Steve Austin]

You can run any MTB tyres as tubeless tyres. you just need to use sealant, like stans....

all the manufacturers have different names for their own brand of tubeless
LUST-maxxis
TR - bontrager
2bliss - specialized
ust - conti

Its something to do with who registered the UST monkier first. but they all do the same thing

It can be very hard to inflate a tubeless tyre for the first time. Until you've got sufficent pressure to cause the tyre to seat correctly on the rim it isn't air tight. So when you first start pumping the tyre up air will be rapidly leaking back out.

Obviously you have to pump air in at a quicker rate than which it leaks out. You might be able to achieve this with a track pump but some tyre rim combinations are best done with a CO2 canister.

easiest way, is with the tyre horizontal. loads of thick bubbly fairy liquid around the bead. i use an old dustpan brush to splash it round the rim. and pump, and pump. i've been able to seal all my tyres like this
