Not.
Nightmare.
Hutchinson Intensive tyres, Kinlin tubeless ready rims, stans no tube cyclocross kit for 700cc wheels.
Not sure what I have done wrong but there's no way the tyres will seat.
First I removed the old rim tape and fitted the stans yellow tape, fitted the rim tape with the valve, I didn't drill out the inner hole as it seemed OK, the valve seemed to seat OK but was slightly higher than the rest of the tape but there;s some reinforcing rubber behind it so I assume that's fine.
Fitting the tyre was a right pain, using Park levers, the last bit just chased itself around the rim. Eventually got the tyre on and it just wouldn't inflate, there seemed to be a raised bead by the valve, and although one side seemed to be snug to the rim the other wasn't.
I tried a track pump and an electric compressor, neither did it.
Not sure where to go from here, back to tubes I think.
