It took me nearly an hour to stop laughing after I saw the mess Jeremiah left all over from attempting to get non-tubeless wheels set up for tubeless, especially considering my post yesterday recalling a previous attempt. One thing I do differently that you might try next time to make LESS of a mess is to inflate the tire to get the bead seated on the rim without sealant. Once the bead is secured , then you deflate and remove the valve core , add sealant with the syringe and reinflate. It works for me every time and makes way less, if any, of a mess. John Glad to see you enjoyed the tape measure I sent. I was funny as hell to see how quickly Jeremiah picked up on that I sent to to you instead of Wolftick Videos. I don't know who enjoyed it more though, you or Jeremiah. I hope I can pretty much speak for everyone that sends you guys stuff when I say that the real joy is in the giving to you! I don't know of any other UA-cam channels have a fan base that feel as included in your success as those on this channel. Keep up the fun and awesome videos! PS. Anyone else notice how quickly the tape measure made it to the side of the bench where the Wolfman sits?????
Watched another vid where the author of that vid also said that if it was a new tire to use a tube and allow the tire and rim to get comfortable with each other first.... I wasted all kinds of stans tubeless goop and time trying to go tubeless and watched that video AFTER my failed attempts....after kicking over the remaining bit of goop (cuz I forgot to put the lid on it) I guess zi won't have to worry about my garage floor leaking too much air now....😅🤣😂 I may attempt the tubeless thing later....but for now... tubes is where it's at for now. Haha!
@@mrupholsteryman Trust me, I've made my fare share of mess with sealant. It tastes horrible in case you are wondering. The only two bikes of mine that I run tubeless are my Cannondale Habit , the Jekyll since both wheelset for those bikes are meant for tubeless setups. The Mavic Crossmax wheels on the Jekyll hold air so well that I have ridden almost 6 months without any sealant in them and have had zero leakdown. Those wheels are special case though, since they do not need rim tape because of the way the spokes are attached. Even though I have those two bikes setup for tubeless. I NEVER ride on any trails without a backup tube with me. I don't carry CO2 with me, so there is no way in on this earth you are going to properly seat a tubeless tire with a mini hand pump!
Love the content guys! I’m closer in age to Tick, but relate to Wolfman in the fatherly response department! 😂 Wolfman, repeats this is a bad idea, don’t do it, do it right, etc. Then when Tick airs it up “so many bubbles!” Couldn’t help but laugh. Keep up the good work!
When doing this kind of wheels and tyres, use more tape than usual, you should get a pretty tight fit between the bead and rim, then seat the tyre without sealant. Fill with sealant after seating the bead,. This should be way less messy
Ha ha crawler innovations that's so awesome I see all there stuff in my RC channel, I don't know if my polygon D5 had tubeless ready wheels but I went tubeless but I used the new flatout quick strike not as messy as what your using just a little clear liquid comes out in spots and the flatout stuff never dries out so your tire will wear out before you have to replace it...may want to try it out next time.
Gorilla tape, dump the sealant in before you finish mounting the tire, rotate valve to top, then use an blow gun instead of an air chuck and then throw the valve core back in. The mess you made is awesome!!! I love it.
When I do tubeless prep, I do one layer of electrical tape first. Then I use Stan’s rim tape on top of that. I also use a heat gun when I apply it. That really helps it seal up.
Tick, you're killing me with that tire insert/ tubeless install... Do those pedals say Shat ? Those bone conduction headphones look dope. Might need to get a set for my dad. Hope you both are doing well and having a great summer! I've been crazy busy getting ready for the lil Wolftick Nation member coming in August. 🦥
I run full pressure on my tubeless Maxxis DHR II's, ~38psi, and its absolutely a better ride. Tubes change the shape of the tire (as intended by the maker) making them rounder with less contact patch. I find they roll about the same but traction and cornering is significantly improved. Also, thorns are always a problem around here.
I have been running tubeless 2.4" Specialized Butcher/Purgatory tires for 2 years at 20 psi mostly... no flats evah!! .... on a full suspension Stumpjumper.
It aint easy being green. I get the ear questions all the time as well. Had an elderly woman grab my right ear *the really messed up one* while in line at a grocery store and she couldn't believe how hard my ear was, said it felt like my ear was turning to stone. I just told her a lifetime of grappling will do that to you unless you get them drained. VERY often, which as a kid I wanted nothing to do with needles. I just suffered lol
I love tubeless. You need to try wider tires with tubeless. 2.6 inch on a wheel with 35mm internal is amazing. With narrow tires you don't as much benefit. I run 2.5 rear, and 2.6 front
Maybe it's me, but once I installed mine I feel the fork responds a lot smoother on initial compression. Plus it is cheap and SUPER easy since they will already have the fork opened up to install the 130 mm air shaft. Which btw is almost as super easy to install. Going from 130 to 150 mm on my bike made such a positive difference.
I tried using pool noodles as an inexpensive alternative to cush core....and it was WORK getting the tubes to fit on the inside of the pool noodle...and ended up initially seeming very bouncy...but then the pool noodle foam compressed and the extra protection may as well have been an extra inner tube on the outside of the one doing the air holding functions.... Nevertheless I still ended up swapping out the DIY cush core and instead just went old school tubed....AFTER getting a flat...😅🤣😂
I hope theres somepatreon footage on this one 😂😂😂😂 My opinion hasnt changed on this, tubeless is a lot of hassle for not much benefit Take care guys 🍻😎👍
Tubeless has less rolling resistance at the same pressure! Less internal friction. And with a tough enough casing tyre squirm is not an issue unless you are a pro freerider.
Don't know how but broke my top jockey wheel 😅 lucky to have spear parts.only reason I figured it out was because I had to change pads and do a full blead😮💨 it's hot as hell in Norway 🥵
Looking forward to the test ride. That is going to be sketchy! Looking at this, it reinforces the reason I don’t go tubeless. It’s too messy and about 90% of people riding MTB’s won’t benefit. For most of us, going tubeless is about as useful as Quasimodo visiting a beauty salon.
I recently bought a flat bar gravel bike with tubeless tires and the ride is noticably more supple than riding tires with tubes. I never used to care about tubeless tires, but now that I have them, I don't think I can go back. They add suspension to my rigid frame and running over thorns is less of a worry now. I'm not saying you should run out and convert your tires to tubeless, but I would say try them out if you have a buddy with a bike that has tubeless tires. Also, don't be desuaded if you are looking for a bike and find one that has tubeless tires. You might end up preferring them once you try them, if you haven't already. Have a good one!
It’s not that messy when you use ACTUALLY tubeless tires and rims…tubeless tires and rims are made to fit more snug and they are easier to get them to seal up without all that much sealant coming from the bead. The feel of being able to have 25 psi on trails with tubeless, as opposed to 35-40 with tubes, is so amazing and you have so much more traction in turns, and over rocks and roots.
I use gorilla tape and those velo valve stems and never had any issues, but i do use tubless ready tires. Also tubless isnt a dirty job the tick is dirty.

Schrader tubeless valves FTW!! So much easier than jacking with the presta valves IMO. Great content! Appreciate all you do!
Thank you Wolfman for always saying the things I want to say through the screen! The Tick needs a lot of correcting, doesn't he? hahaha
I'm really intrigued by how well those headphones work!
No sealant on the ceiling you've done a great job
Ha ha crawler innovations that's so awesome I see all there stuff in my RC channel, I don't know if my polygon D5 had tubeless ready wheels but I went tubeless but I used the new flatout quick strike not as messy as what your using just a little clear liquid comes out in spots and the flatout stuff never dries out so your tire will wear out before you have to replace it...may want to try it out next time.
With enough tape and time it's possible but I went sealant in the tubes and leave the rims I have as is
That's not a bad idea!! Lol
Have you seen those hand held cordless air pump?
Yes, they offered to send us one a while back but never came through??
Gorilla tape, dump the sealant in before you finish mounting the tire, rotate valve to top, then use an blow gun instead of an air chuck and then throw the valve core back in. The mess you made is awesome!!! I love it.
When I do tubeless prep, I do one layer of electrical tape first. Then I use Stan’s rim tape on top of that. I also use a heat gun when I apply it. That really helps it seal up.
Those are some serious Deity TMAC knock offs!
How does it compare to the Tannus armor? is it cheaper?
Tick, you're killing me with that tire insert/ tubeless install...
Do those pedals say Shat ?
Those bone conduction headphones look dope. Might need to get a set for my dad.
Hope you both are doing well and having a great summer! I've been crazy busy getting ready for the lil Wolftick Nation member coming in August.

Have you guys ever considered a wider rim? That fights tire roll. A 2.6 tire should have like a 30mm internal width rim.
I have been running tubeless 2.4" Specialized Butcher/Purgatory tires for 2 years at 20 psi mostly... no flats evah!! .... on a full suspension Stumpjumper.
Wolftick Science!
That's a nice purple on the pedals!
Dude such a gorgeous purple 💜

You should add some foam rings into the lower legs, it's cheap enough
Send us a link man, no clue what we will get ourselves into lol

Normally you seat the bead first. Then add sealant.

set the bead then let air out fill with sealant and ad air. no mess.
If you are using tubeless ready rims and tires, then yes, that's the way to do it. They weren't.
I use gorilla tape and those velo valve stems and never had any issues, but i do use tubless ready tires. Also tubless isnt a dirty job the tick is dirty.
Hi guys.. Tubeless on my 26er rims.. 2.10 maxxis crossmark 11
Consistent asf pumping 2 videos a day
Trying brother, should have another tomorrow and another Friday!! Fork followed by a realtime review. Thank you for watching 👀
Hey guys!
Jeremiah!!! My Man
Wait, do y'all actually have 58 bikes?
those are super expensive inserts when you have CushCores for only 150 for the set.
You think they will be better or worse??
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS that i dont know, but i believe thats what most pros run
Ghetto tubeless. 💪
Take the other scooter and do a side by side video.❤
Then a race!!
😎👍🐓
🤣 Thank you very 🐔ing much!!
Rolling resistance is a problem with tubeless...I find the opposite of that statement is true when on trails and dirt.
Arrrrmando.
Those pedals are deity tmac clones. Wow those inserts are expensive.
you should have set the bead first.
Why does the bearded guy keep interrupting the guy doing all the work?
That's the Wolf in Wolftick and it's his job.
Kill the FROG! Please!
Yes please. This is unwatchable.
@@rrizio Lmao. First world problems much?
$249? LOLOL......for some foam rings? Yeah......no.

the bird in the background, make it stop....
That "bird" is an amphibian lol
