If i was to have a guess I'd say it was loosing air because of the lack of sealant in there. When you opened up the tyre it looked quite dry.
yeah I think you might be right there
You Brits are amazing. I'd never ride in that mess.
The majority of sealants react with CO2 which causes it to solidify in the tyre. That may be why it continued to slow leak. And you've got to be joking with glue less patches. If you're going to the trouble of removing the tyre and cleaning the inside, then use a proper glue on patch with tyre cement. You can even buy car (or tractor!) sized ones from Tip Top or Schrader to fix mountain bike tyres permanently.
I find effetto mariposa café latex sealant takes patches off, OK for a quick repair but long term I use a piece of innertube with Shoegue glue.
I would not be doing this job next to a white couch and a rug 😂 Impressive!
I did it just for the lighting, and it was a mistake I would come to regret 😂
Dynaplug is by far the best plug solution - Dynaplug Air lets you top the air up as you plug it… the plugs don’t let go 👍
Damn, didn't know about the air version. Probably worth investing in
Love my Dynaplugs, simple and won't ride without them
The joys of tubeless! You got a puncture. It didn't seal, so you put a plug in it. That leaked, so you had to put another plug in it. That also leaked, so you had to put patch the tyre. All so you don't have to bin an expensive tubeless tyre that would still be absolutely fine with an inner tube!
It doesn't sound as good when you put it like that lol
But what we don’t know is how many flats were avoided for that tire b/c of the sealant. I get far fewer flats running tubeless on my road bike than I did in the past using tubes.
Having ridden tubeless road tyres for the last 8 years I have atop tip. Stans notubes plugs are great for mtb tyres but have a pointy head too big for Flint puncture. Tear off one petal from the plug and push in the hole with pointy instrument . This has worked many times and generally are left in the tyres until they are worn out. Don't forget to do a monthly swish test with each wheel to listen for the liquid sealant in the tyre. No point having a litre of the stuff in your garage when a 25ml topup will save the day.
For bigger holes eg glass the stans plugs are fantastic as they react with the sealant to form a better patch.
I on my road bike use dynaplug. This can hold high pressure. And you don't have to patch the tyre from the inside afterwards. Dynaplug is best solution for road bikes.
All my mates when back to tube, reason is that their 2mth old tire got a tiny hole thats the sealant can't seal....dynaplug will make a bigger hole. Once the hole get bigger, no plugs can fit . New tires is the answer. All that experience in just 2 mths.
6000 miles this year with Orange seal endurance. Only issue I had was not adding enough sealant in the South Carolina Summer heat
curious to see if it lasts. i have done a quick and dirty bodge job like that using glueless patches and they always come off again pretty quickly - usually with a big whoosh of air... i've had a proper glued patch for a while but using a tube that has lasted better.
I would tell you to get Dynaplugs but they are never in stock for some reason.
To be honest it's just as easy to swap out a tube. Less faff and you know it's done 😂 also TPU tubes weigh less than the sealant!
It's less total faff, but I think tubeless wins for minimizing roadside faff 😅😅
Impressive the lack of mess you made. I seem to get sealant everywhere and then some 😂
The sealant inside seemed completely dried up so no wonder there was no mess.
Great tip, thanks
0:07 correction: tubeless is a solution looking for a problem
Dynaplug work well.
Holy Stem Length!
I go one step further and use a car tyre patch on the inside as they are a bit bigger and a lot thicker than a tube patch
Same here
Thats a hack I can appreciate
With TPUs as inner tubes why would road cyclists bother with the endless fluff of tubeless. I have gone tubeless numerous times and found it’s just not reliable
Add my name to the Dynaplg recommendation list. I've been suing it for a last 6 years on my road and gravel bikes, never had to remove, replace or patch the tire after using one. Which SwissSide wheels do you have and how do you like them?
Defo need to try dynaplug. Swisside wheels came with the bike, but normally I ride/race on enves which I like a lot (sponsored). The swisside have been fine, but hard to compare when I'm riding chunky 32c tyres.
@@TheRedster Did you find the SwissSide noticably better in crosswinds? Easier to handle?
@@julianallen515 I wouldn't say so. The enves are particularly good in crosswinds. I raced on the 6.7s all year
I love how “easy” these tubeless repair videos are supposed to look. This whole process just looks ridiculous. I will never go tubeless.
Nooooo.
LEZYNE
TUBELESS PRO PLUGS are the way. Patch and plug combined. Great for the workshop repair.
Dynaplug seems to work well outside.
Agreed, the Pro Plugs or mushroom plugs solve most serious punctures and are much cheaper than a new £70 tyre!
that's some powerful mouthwash
it cleans your teeth and your soul 😆
