GLITTER - probs not very environmentally friendly either, but pretty effective at clogging I reckon... and fabulous obvs. If the tyres don't snap onto the rim, I don't use soapy water but neat washing up liquid on the bead bed of the rim to let the beads slip into place. Also CO2 cartridges to have enough pressure to force the tyre onto the rim, if you don't have a compressor.

If you have time and if bubbles are under the tape, placing a tube and tire on the rim helps. Over inflate and time helps eliminate all bubbles and sets the tape beautifully.

Hey! I recently discovered the best and easiest way to install the tubeless tape (especially with rims that have a deep well in the middle). *We use Stan tape at our shop but this applies to any tubeless tape really. Start the tape as per usual by smoothing the tape from edge to edge for one or two spoke holes... Then, pull tape over the rim with considerable tension only focusing on keeping the tape straight... when all the spoke holes are cover and overlapping the valve hole cut the tape and press down the end portion (don't worry about the tape filling in the middle of the rim at all). Install and inflate the tire to roughly 40-50 psi and let it sit for 5 minutes. Remove the tire and you will find a perfectly installed tubeless tape setup :O The air pressure forces the tape into the middle of the rim perfectly!

I'm just curious, where does the air in the deep well go? Or are you supposed to press the tape down to the well on the first pass anyway? I have AT550 rims and I am so confused about installing tape on them 😔

Very thorough there Henry. I tend to leave the tyres inflated at maximum PSI overnight before riding to ensure they grow to proper size. Then the next day, let out air to riding PSI and good to go. Interesting on the Ground Black Pepper :D Upper body workouts - need to be doing more of that for rowdy riding. Good upper body workouts on a regular basis as well as lower and then every day, good stretching sessions which really help with injuries in preventing muscle/ligament issues - especially for seasoned riders (cough - mid age and above like me - cough). :)

The reason that you lineup the valves with the logo comes from tour mechanics since tubs come from the factory like that, and when they do clinchers for training it helps them find the valve area quickly.

If I'm struggling with seating a tyre when using my track pump, I use my 'ghetto' pressure inflator that I made out of an old 1kg fire extinguisher. Charge it up to around150psi with the track pump, push the hose over the tyre valve (having first removed the core) then squeeze the trigger. A few satisfying 'pops' as the tyre seats & job jobbed!

9:45 I use tyre lever to protect thumb from valve biting in(tyre lever always present on the trail, pliers NOT), press hard through tyre lever and then tighten the nut as much as I can. This way, I can dissasemble on the trail to put in a tube. If you use pliers, you might be walking home with a working tube on the bike....but not in the wheel where you need it after that tyre cut. The only risk I run then is if it's wet-I might not be able to unscrew the nut as well. Cheap small, foldable, round shape pliers from aliexpress are the solution of this. On long mountain rides I take "standard" foldable pliers just cause I alredy had them before tubeless.

The whole logo thing stemmed from being able to easily find punctures after you've removed the tube to repair it. If you still had a thorn stuck in the tyre it would just re-puncture the patch! By having the tyre and tube aligned you could lay the tube on top of the wheel and quickly locate the site of the puncture and check for anything still left in there. Saves frustration on a ride but saved valuable time during races. Now we have reliable tubeless it doesn't matter except for cosmetic reasons.

An old hack to trying to get a tube to seal, tie a rope around the tire and insert a dowel and twist the dowel until the bead pulls in to the rim and inflate. This was a trick for mounting car tires to the rim. This should work for the bike as well. Great video, I enjoyed your tips for going tubeless. The funny thing is all the reasons you give for going tubeless on your bike are the reasons car tires went tubeless.

Seems some tires just refuse to go on without a compressor. Have not not run Conti on my MTB yet but maybe its worth a go. Maybe it has to do with the shaping of the tire when it is new and an how much volume the tire has. I had a heck of a time mounting an Ikon 2.0. Rekon 2.25 went on with much less effort, but still used pump compression chamber. Nice tip on the sealant spice. I think you could add the pepper before popping the tire on and then inject sealant via the valve core. I think an overlooked tip is to avoid using tools to mount the tire. This helps keep the rim bead uniform for a tight seal when it is time for air.

Hi Henry, all interesting. When tubeless first came to motorcycle competition we used to carry a product that helped you seal the tyre to the rim, even if you didn't have a high volume pump to hand. It was a latex tube inside a textile outer that was made to fit externally to the outer circumference of the tyre. When you inflated it by hand it would apply even external pressure to the tyre from the centre, allowing you to form a rim seal, you could then inflate the main tyre slowly, letting air out of the external tube as you went. Have you come across anything like that for MTB for trail side with a low volume pump? Thanks and keep it up!

Fellow KZfaqrs Syd and Macky did a video on how they seal a tubeless tyre without using a booster or booster pump. Can Henry do the Mega-avalanche next year?

Excellent clear instruction. I’m curious to know if you can use the same methods on Gravel/Commuter tubeless tyres? I have 32 mm width rims, would you still use electrical tape under the rim tape?

@GMBN Tech my front 203 mm brake rotor very noticeably warps when hot (same brand and bolt pattern as the one in this video.) If it has to be replaced would a floating rotor be more durable. I prefer to stay with the six bolt pattern.

Great explanation, I was wondering since you put in the black pepper, does a regular sealant only physically clog up holes as well or is there some sort of polymerisation reaction taking place?

Why not put the pepper in the dry tire, then fit get the tire on the bead, then put in the sealant?

i had 3 days of hard time get it sealed , so better get your bike to someone who knows or leave it like it is. best thing to do, no cost , no time lost.

I would use a little blue thread-lock on the valve stem after it has been inserted through the wheel so that the locking nut doesn't work loose over time, especially if you ride off road. Plus this has the added benefit of further sealing the interface between the nut and the wheel rim. With the supplied rubber O ring this will give a superior seal!
