We were able to inflate the tire, and it was holding air just fine, but I didn't hear it pop. When I let the air out to put sealant in, I realized that the bead was not set. I pumped it up to 50 psi and it still did not pop. I think it's not seated but it's holding air. Any suggestions?
Hi Mike, When inflating the tire, sometimes it may need a bit of coaxing to pop into place. As you inflate, take a look and see how the tire sits on the rim. In areas where it doesn't seem to be seating with the side of the rim channel, you may need to apply a bit of soapy water in the area. This will help the bead dislodge from the center rim channel and pop into place. Lastly, there is usually an audible pop as the tire seats, but this isn't always the case. Once inflated, spin the wheel and tire and ensure the tire is tracking straight relative to the rim- this is a good indication it's seated properly.

Thumbs down. Anyone can show how to seat a tubeless tire that's already been seated and then reair up once you start out with something new like a lot of new people struggle with and getting the bead even to set with air compressor there's a thousand videos like this one nothing special Make it difficult for people who struggle.
Mastercraft from Canadian tire. You don't need anything too fancy, gas station compressors will even work. This article also has a decent list of floor pumps www.roadbikerider.com/these-floor-pumps-let-you-mount-tubeless-tires/
Thank you
Your video covers all questions most people will have about tubless tires. Thanks alot. 😊
You're welcome! 🙂
Thanks, I just bought an air compressor and didn't know how to use it properly. So valve remove and just lever w/ rubber tip @ max psi then ;)
Nice and quick, doesn't need to be an 18 minute long video.
thank you
Hi, nice tutorial. Do u know which minimum specs of air compressor should work? 6L 8bar compressor should be enough for 29" tubless ?
Take a look at this article. It has some good recommendations: www.roadbikerider.com/these-floor-pumps-let-you-mount-tubeless-tires/
Thanks for this vid. Do you have recommendations for size/type of compressor (ie max psi, tank size, brand)?
Dude needs a cup of coffee
But thanks for the help!
Thanks, now he just went out and got a truck full of coffee. Change the playback speed to x1.5 to see the effect.

Thanks a lot, I'm trying to get a nice garage set up. So I wanted to get a decent compressor.
