Our Bike Shop Manager Luke is here to show us two ways to refresh the sealant in your tubeless mountain bike tires, and let's just say things get a little...messy.
If you’re riding with tubeless tires, it’s important to know that the sealant inside (the stuff that makes it tubeless) dries up over time-especially if your bike has been hanging (or sitting) in your garage all winter. Fresh sealant in your tires will help plug any leaks that pop up as you ride.
The first and easiest method for changing tubeless sealant is through the valve stem on your wheel. This requires a valve core removal tool or removable valves, plus a sealant injector or sealant with a tube or straw.
If you don’t have these tools, there is another way-break the bead and fill the tire that way. Unfortunately (as you’ll find out when you watch this video), this method can be trickier, messier, and more time-consuming. Check out the links below if you’d like to opt for the former, easier option.
Have more questions about the best MTB tubeless sealant and how to change your tubeless sealant? Wondering how much to use or how long sealant lasts? Our Gearheads are available to chat 24/7, or by phone at 1-800-409-4502.
Happy sealant refreshing!
