IMO the front arrow on the tire is wrong direction, as when tire rotates, water should go to outside of tire, thats what treads on it is for - so first youre hit the ground with threads arrows center, then rolling tire should to oposite direction.. physics.. PS. Ok, after some research on internet i have found, that front tire have reverse thread to reduce vibrations, but as we have ONE wheel, i would chosse rear tire direction, as its the one who accelerate and should have most grip with the surface.
UPDATE: After 4 days the tire is at 29.5psi, yes it lost 0.5 taking the pressure lol Good morning, i'm happy to report that the tire is still at 30psi after 16h, seems very well sealed, of course i will update after a week and first ride !
Try just dropping the wheel from tailgate/trunk-height. If it slips on the rim it will burp and you'll know the rim isn't right for it (as it wasn't on my BG Master).
You're welcome, note that i did use two minutes of my time off camera to file the edge of the hole and made it smooth so it's well sealed, have a great day !
I tried going tubless on a BG Master with a Michelin Pilot Street 2. The rim didn't have the shelf-aspect needed for the bead to seal properly. The result was any impact as big as a curb-drop would burp the air out of it. I ended up putting a tube in it.
@@Lowlandeuc Yea the valves aren't much $. Then the hole has to be drilled just a little bit bigger. Then it seals and seems ok till you find out. Hopefully not while fk around. :D
I know this video is about a year old but I wanted to ask weather or not you used any sealant. Typically when setting up my MTB's tubeless we use Muc Off tire sealant when setting them up. The idea here is that if you do get a puncture you might not even know it because the sealant should rush to the hole and clog it up providing that it's not a big gaping hole that would require a plug, in which case you'd cram a plug in there from your plug kit. So far on my MTB after over 1000 miles I either haven't had any punctures or the sealant sealed them up and I didn't even realize it. Great video and thank you for sharing!
Tire sealant would be a good idea but didn't used any, big knobby offroad are much less prone to poncture, with street tire i would use sealant but for now i carry plugs and small bicycle pump The last time i did a tire change with sealant it was a big mess to clean
Thanks, it's been a month and i add about 2-3psi per week to stay at 30psi, not bad I also had the occasion to ride in pothholes, jumps, etc and no problems at all, the Sherman-S rim has a thick bead to keep the tire in place but i wouldn't do it on olders Shermans as they have very thin rim beads
This is amazing. Every EUC should be tubeless, especially V12HT has so many problems with the tubes. I wonder if it also could be modified like this :). And what about some tubeless sealant, why not put some in? :)
I didn't have sealant went i installed this tire, but i guess it could also help keeping the pressure longer , i may try the Shinko 244 tire eventually Your rim needs to have a thick enough bead to hold the tire properly

Better handling, less heat, less rotationnal mass, if you have a poncture you can simply put a plug on the side of the road then go, easier to change the tire, etc
@@cdn_badger If you are worried about warranty i wouldn't do it but i'm not really a warranty guy, i like fixing thing myself so i know what and how the job was done So if anything breaks i will know why this happens
Tubes leak slowly over time directly through the tube's rubber and have to be topped off once every two-weeks or so. Tubeless will hold without pressure loss for many months or even a year or more.
I know Michelin tires are about the best for motorcycles, didn't tried it yet, but that guy has done a great little video ua-cam.com/video/gRll3ijYdqM/v-deo.html
I don't think it will because it have pretty beefy beads on the rim, however i'll be sure to report if anything happens when i can ride (its winter here) I wouldn't do that on the Sherman v2, it have very slim rim beads
@@KaizenOz Do NOT try on the Sherman max, the rim bead is very thin and will not hold the tire properly, it could spontenaously deflate if you run in a pothhole
I'm so jealous - I have a 16" and I don't think it's possible to get this valve to fit. I've had 4 flats on my T4 and all of them were caused by defects in the tube. So sick of this crap.
@@MathieuTechMoto there is other way to bead the tyre without compressor. Just take cargo belt and put it around the tyre pretty hard and then pump the air, ot should bead, at least that is what worked for me.

Thanks for watching, will report the pressure later
I cant believe the process is this easy. This will be my project over the weekend. Thank you for the upload and links for parts.

@mangu768 How'd it go for you?
Glad to see someone else tried it too.
Yeah !

Yes, your wheel must absolutely have a thick bead to retain the tire
What a petty, I just read this after, buying the valve for tubeless on master 😅,
Yeah not all rims will allow safe tubeless conversion, lucky that the Sherman-S has one@@Lowlandeuc

@@MathieuTechMoto I learned something new, great job.
@@RajinderYadav Thanks, have a great day !
Excellent guide for the conversion, gives me the confidence to try.
I like the idea of reducing the rotating mass further :)

Great guide!
Do u know or if u cant do that to tire that are not meant to be tubless?
I have a CST 6004, I wonder if I can go tubless on that tire?
Chinese tires will not have proper steel wires inside, but i had success with the stock Lynx street tire

Salut. Merci pour ton retour. Tu roules toujours tubeless? As tu du coup des pertes de pression?merci
Oui, non je perds pas de pression meme en offroad
@@MathieuTechMoto merci pour ton retour. Je ferai la modif alors 😉je mettrai du liquide préventif au cas où👍
For a tubeless setup on a MTB bicycle you use latex/slime so little punctures seals itself ,did you also do this ?
No, but that's a great idea, i may try next time !

What's the importance of going tubeless over having an innertube?
Better handling, less heat, less rotationnal mass, if you have a poncture you can simply put a plug on the side of the road then go, easier to change the tire, etc
@@MathieuTechMoto Any idea if it effects the warranty?
@@cdn_badger If you are worried about warranty i wouldn't do it
but i'm not really a warranty guy, i like fixing thing myself so i know what and how the job was done
So if anything breaks i will know why this happens
Tubes leak slowly over time directly through the tube's rubber and have to be topped off once every two-weeks or so. Tubeless will hold without pressure loss for many months or even a year or more.
@@tomnoyb8301 My tube 4 days and pump again . some worsse sort of inner tube instaled i think . older one holded better air .
Will the Continental Conti Scoot 80/90 14 fit the sherman s? Is it one of the best tires for the sherman s?
I know Michelin tires are about the best for motorcycles, didn't tried it yet, but that guy has done a great little video
ua-cam.com/video/gRll3ijYdqM/v-deo.html
Why did you use sandpaper around the rim?
To remove any uneven surface that would lead to air loss
@@MathieuTechMoto what grit did you use?
Does it not lose air if you hit a pothole or speed bump forcing the tire to flatten out a bit. I just don't understand why it's not losing air.
I don't think it will because it have pretty beefy beads on the rim, however i'll be sure to report if anything happens when i can ride (its winter here)
I wouldn't do that on the Sherman v2, it have very slim rim beads
@@MathieuTechMoto what about Sherman max? Rim ok for tubeless?
@@KaizenOz Do NOT try on the Sherman max, the rim bead is very thin and will not hold the tire properly, it could spontenaously deflate if you run in a pothhole
@@MathieuTechMoto thanks for the reply, so still working well on your Sherman S?
@@KaizenOz Yeah i've done about 100km total, riding in pothholes, small jumps no problems, it seems to lose about 2 psi per week, no big deal
Hey, do you know what size drill bit did you use?
Looks like 10mm diameter with the caliper readings
What are you spraying on the tyre bead, please?
soapy water
@@MathieuTechMoto Thanks. Silly me. I figured that out after posting by reading the comments.
I'm so jealous - I have a 16" and I don't think it's possible to get this valve to fit. I've had 4 flats on my T4 and all of them were caused by defects in the tube. So sick of this crap.
Haven't got a single flat while in tubeless, often you will get flat if you do jumps or hit pothhole due to tube pinch
in cars is used grease to seal .
what about putting silicone
@@mietchan2 to install a tire ? never saw that .
Can you report on how is this mod doing after 11 months?
Perfectly fine, no air loss, but dont do this mod unless you have a good compressor to pop the bead on the rim
@@MathieuTechMoto there is other way to bead the tyre without compressor. Just take cargo belt and put it around the tyre pretty hard and then pump the air, ot should bead, at least that is what worked for me.
@@ssponk I do that sometimes when the tire is pinched from the factory, you really need a nice seal to inflate without a compressor
Those valve stems won't deliver to Wisconsin USA
You'll probably find one here
amzn.to/3m0yPbX
Wait you didn't slime the inner tire?!
Nope, even after 16h it didn't even lose a PSI, but also i did sand the bead for better sealing
@@MathieuTechMoto will you add tire sealent in the future though? C'est trop cool le job!
@@rishi-m Merci, si le pneu garde bien son air non, mais j'avoue que ça pourrait être pratique en cas de crevaison !
