Great video! Was about to go on amazon and get an air compresser! I just went tubless and was not having any luck with my foot pump, just spraying sealant on the foor. Setting the bead was a game changer.
Thanks so much for this. First time replacing a tubeless tyre myself today (Ground Controls) and it worked a treat. I found just going about 1/4 of the way round the rim on each side was sufficient in my case (with a floor pump). Cheers!
You could also inflate the tyre with a tube to pop all the beads in. Open one side, take tube out, and do this process just on that open side. That's what I do at least.
@@jackburton2680 what do you mean? You just take the tube out, including the valve, put the tubeless valve back in and inflate to pop the beans of that side without worrying about the other side
You amaze me with your patience and how well you describe everything so well. Such a great video. Not sure you meant for this to be ASMR but gosh darn it is😅!
Great video. On trail with tubeless sealant already on it. I really struggled to get the beads to stay in place. Should I forget that as needs to be dry? It kept kinda sliding off while I was using the leaver. Cheers Mike.
With sealant on it, it is a lot harder to reseat. One thing I recommend is only remove one side of the tire if possible. That way one side is already seated. Then try to reseat the other side. It can be tricky but is possible.
Good idea! Unfortunately it only works with wide rims and/or tight tires. Tried it with floppy 50mm tires that you can get on the rim with your bare hands, and this method was hopeless.
I cannot get the beading to stay on the edge to work on the 2.6 Hans Dampf, If you ever try this on your polygon I'd be interested to know. I have the T8, so the same tyres and wheelset. My thumbs now need a break
Took a break came back to it, success, with a mini pump too. I tried the motocross cargo strap technique. Put the strap around the circumference of the tyre, pull it tight to compress the tyre. this helps push the bead out. I think it may also help with pumping, due to the reduced volume. Then with a thump on each wall pull the beading out til it seats as well as you can, get it as tight as you can. Then pump. If it not inflating see if the bead is not quite right somewhere work your way around the whole tyre with both thumbs working ware from each other. And pump again. Once it has enough pressure, remove the strap and fully inflate.
@@jackburton2680 Did you see my follow up comment about using the motocross cargo strap method. I've now seated my tyres 3 times this way (Front I redid and the back once), And it went smoothly all three times. That was after about 3 hours trying all the other hacks.
@@lesterfalcon1350 I did. Don't got such a strap laying around though. I'll prob just seat one side by inflating it with a tube installed, then pull tube out and hopefully reseat it fully.
@@jackburton2680 Strap I used was for rings, so not really that wide. If your inner tube method fails (did for me) then maybe rope or cord wrapped around 2-3 times would substitute for the strap.
Well..I spent a LOT of time with an air compressor assuming it would be able to blow the tire out to the rim...but I was sorely mistaken ...and then I kicked over the Stan's Tubes goop onto the floor...and it was a lesson learned that I had to know that I was not as skilled as I thought I was.
I have a wheel waiting in the hall to be taken to a bikeshop after failing to pump any air in it. Will give this a shot tommorrow if no bikeshop has time for mw
@RunBikeMike in the bike shop, they also struggled until realising my tape was 2 years old. Took of old tape and put new one on. Then they managed to get air in, but now it's deflating quite fast. I'm thinking of adding more sealant
Sorry to say but, this only work in ideal situation like yours - having a relatively new tire. Now, try the same ish with a tire that has gone on & off the rim a few times & with old gunked up sealant on the entire circumference of the edges of the tires, then we can talk.
@@RunBikeMike I would say though, your levers are strong, the lil plastic ones I got would have broken if I tried your trick with them. Great video by the way.
I hope you found this video helpful and will subscribe for more fun content.
Was really struggling with a stubborn tire. And this video saved the day. Thanks!!

That's really impressive. Definitely good in a pinch 👍
It was a long hard battle…. But I’m too stubborn to quit and finally got it to work. Thanks!
Awesome!!!
Thanks so much for this video. I just got this to work on a road bike tire. Much obliged!

Very clever 👍🏻

I have those same tires and this method is impossible by my experience. The bead simply doesn't stay in place as I work around the tire.

That’s incredible
I made it work and inflated at maximum but the next dat it was getting flat. Anything I could have done wrong?
No sometimes that happens when going tubeless. The more you ride it the better it will get. If it keeps happening add more sealant.
When you remove the valve core to inflate does it changes from Presta size to Schrader size? Does it take a pump with two heads?
No it just opens it up you will still use presta
@@RunBikeMike OK cheers
I also wipe/spray soapy water onto the tyre bead.

Oh no. It happens to the best of us.
Will this work with a 30 mm tubeless too?
It should but can vary depending on the brand of tire and rim.
Excellent but i would recommend to at least borrow or buy a floor pump for your own sanity.

Let me know if you try it out.

@igorlacik5726 yeah bad tape can make it almost seem impossible.
Is road bike tubeless tire available?
Possibly

Yeah you have to have a clean bead and rim for it to work.
@@RunBikeMike I would say though, your levers are strong, the lil plastic ones I got would have broken if I tried your trick with them. Great video by the way.
fuck yeah that worked
Yes!!👍🏻
yes，welldone！
I do not like you🤣. I could not get my tires to seat and frustrated to no end 🤣
So sorry. Don't give up.
@@RunBikeMikethe only reason I am frustrated is because it’s on my kids 20” mountain bike. Internet said the wheel and tire is tubless ready
